Trump has brutal response after Iranian official threatened he could be attacked ‘while he's sunbathing in Mar-a-Lago’

Donald Trump brushed off a potential 'threat' made by an advisor to Iran's Supreme Leader, who claimed the POTUS could come under attack while relaxing at his Mar-a-Lago resort.

Mohammad-Javad Larijani, adviser to Ali Khamenei, made the warning about Trump during a discussion about Iran's military technology that was broadcast on Iranian television on July 9.

He laughed as he shared his thoughts about how Trump could potentially be attacked, suggesting it might happen without any warning.

Larijani said: "Trump can no longer sunbathe in Mar-a-Lago, because while he's lying down, a micro-drone might target and strike him right in the navel."

The adviser did then go on to suggest Iran wouldn't carry out such a move as he said: "Of course, we fight like men."

However, that didn't stop the comment from coming up when Trump later spoke in an interview to Fox News.

Fox host Peter Doocy made reference to the remark as he asked Trump when he last went sunbathing, to which the POTUS responded: “It’s been a long time. I don’t know, maybe I was around seven or so. I’m not too big into it.”

He then went on to try and dismiss the adviser's comments all together, seemingly indicating he wasn't at all concerned.

He said: “I guess it’s a threat. I’m sure it’s not a threat, actually, but perhaps it is.”

Larijani's remarks come just days after Trump said he would 'absolutely' consider bombing Iran again, after the US launched strikes on three of Iran's key nuclear facilities in June.

Following the attack, one reporter asked Trump: "If the intelligence reports conclude that Iran can enrich uranium to a level that concerns you, would you consider bombing the country again?"

Trump then replied: "Sure, without question, absolutely - it has to be unbelievable."

"Can I tell you - they’re exhausted," the president continued, adding: "And Israel’s exhausted too. And I dealt with both of them, and they both wanted it settled - both of them - and we did a great job. But they’re exhausted.

"The last thing they’re thinking about right now is nuclear. You know what they’re thinking of? They’re thinking about tomorrow, trying to live."

Following Larijani's comment, a spokesperson for the United States Secret Service (USSS) told Newsweek it could not comment on specific protective intelligence matters, but added: "We operate in a heightened and very dynamic threat environment and the safety and security of the President and all of our protectees remains our highest priority."
