July 10, 2025 | New Delhi / Washington / Tehran
A shocking geopolitical storm is brewing—Iran has openly threatened former U.S. President Donald Trump with a drone assassination, triggering global alarm and putting U.S. security agencies on red alert.
In a chilling remark, an adviser close to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei reportedly said that “a micro-drone might hit Trump while he sunbathes” at Mar-a-Lago, Florida. Though framed as a joke, intelligence analysts believe this is a coded threat, and not to be taken lightly.
“It might sound like dark humor, but Iran is deadly serious when it comes to revenge,” says a former CIA counterterrorism officer.
🇮🇷 Why Is Iran After Trump?
This threat traces back to Trump’s 2020 drone strike that killed Iranian General Qassem Soleimani, a national hero in Iran. Since then, Tehran has vowed public revenge, and this may be their most direct warning yet.
The Iranian government believes Trump must pay for “war crimes” and violations of international law during his presidency. This new drone threat suggests they’re ready to take the fight far beyond the Middle East.
U.S. Reacts: Mar-a-Lago Under Tight Security
U.S. Homeland Security, FBI, and Secret Service have reportedly:
- Increased aerial surveillance over Trump’s properties.
- Upgraded drone defense systems at key political locations.
- Ordered a review of foreign-backed sleeper cells in the U.S.
“We are monitoring the situation closely. Any attempt to harm a former President will be met with devastating consequences,” a senior White House official told Bharat Global Time.
Iran’s Drone Arsenal: A Real Threat?
Absolutely. Iran’s drone program has exploded in the last five years, with stealth drones, loitering munitions, and sea-based UAVs now deployed across the Middle East. The Qods Mohajer-10, a long-range drone capable of reaching 2,000 km, is believed to be the prime candidate for any such operation.
Iran has previously launched successful drone strikes on U.S. military bases in Iraq and Jordan. Intelligence agencies now fear that similar tech could be smuggled into the U.S. via proxy networks.
Operation Shadow Retaliation?
Insiders claim the U.S. may already be planning a covert retaliation, codenamed Operation Eagle Veil, targeting Iran-backed militias in Iraq, Syria, and Lebanon.
Meanwhile, Trump has brushed off the threat, joking that he doesn’t sunbathe anymore. But behind closed doors, security agencies are taking no chances.
What This Means for the World
If Iran follows through—or is even suspected of an attempt—it could:
- Trigger a full-blown U.S.–Iran war.
- Shake oil markets and spike fuel prices.
- Disrupt the U.S. 2024 election campaign trail.
- Set a dangerous precedent of long-distance political assassinations using drones.
🇮🇳 India Watching Closely
India, a strategic ally of both the U.S. and Iran, has remained silent but is reportedly evaluating the threat of spillover impacts in the Indian Ocean Region. With its own drone defense initiatives underway, New Delhi is taking lessons from this global crisis.
Conclusion: Is This the Beginning of Drone Warfare 2.0?
This isn’t just about Trump. This is about how global politics is entering an era where drones replace diplomacy, and war can be launched with the press of a button.
The world is on edge—and Bharat Global Time will keep you informed at every step.
