Trump’s Retaliation Threat and the VP’s Power | US News
Description
Trump claims he’s got standing orders for a nuclear retaliation against Iran if they attempt to kill him, citing 1,000 missiles ready to fire — but the U.S. has no “dead man’s switch” system; instead, Vice President Vance would automatically assume command under the 25th Amendment, giving him full discretion on any response. Meanwhile, Iran’s supreme leader vows revenge for his father’s killing, with mourners demanding Trump’s death — as Washington warns any attack on the president would be treated as an act of war.
