The publication recalls that Iran has openly vowed for years to take revenge on Trump for the killing of Qasem Soleimani, who was a senior general of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps during his first term.
It is noted that Trump hinted at threats to his life on Wednesday while speaking to journalists in Ankara during the NATO summit.
They want to destroy the leader of the US - me. I am on every list. I saw this morning, I am on every one of their lists. And so far, I think I've been a bit lucky, but maybe that won't last long
The authors note that relations between Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have deteriorated in recent weeks, as their interests have diverged regarding the continuation of the war with Iran.
"Trump and Netanyahu often communicated at the beginning of the war in Iran, with Netanyahu telling the (US - ed.) president about various targets and Israeli intelligence during late-night phone calls. They continued to communicate, but their relationship showed signs of deterioration after a series of tense phone calls," the article states.
