Iran threatens to kill Trump while sunbathing at Mar-a-lago with a ‘Small drone in the navel’Published 2 days ago on July 11, 2025By Felicia Borst

In a startling moment on Iranian state television, senior adviser Javad Larijani—who has long-standing ties to Iran’s Supreme Leader—made a chilling remark suggesting that former U.S. President Donald Trump could be assassinated while sunbathing at his Mar-a-Lago estate.

His exact words: “He can no longer sunbathe… a small drone might hit him in the navel.”

Though said with a laugh, the remark has sparked intense reactions across political and media landscapes, raising concerns about Iran’s messaging and the potential for asymmetric threats.

This comes amid heightened tensions following Trump-era U.S. operations that killed top Iranian military commander Qassem Soleimani in 2020. Iran has never let that incident go—and this latest comment seems to signal that Trump, in their eyes, is still a valid target.

The veiled drone threat is part of a growing pattern of provocative language from Iranian officials.
Analysts believe it’s a psychological tactic—meant to keep former officials on edge, even after leaving office.
