Trump suggests a standing order to attack Iran if it assassinates him. But Vance would make the call

Trump claims he left orders for the U.S. military to retaliate against Iran if he is assassinated, but the U.S. lacks a system to automatically execute such retaliation. If Trump were killed, Vice President JD Vance would assume the presidency and decide on any response. Iran's supreme leader Mojtaba Khamenei vowed to avenge his father's death, which occurred in U.S. and Israeli strikes.
