President Trump warned that he would take extreme action against Iran should it assassinate a member of his Cabinet.
Hugh Hewitt of Salem News asked the president, “If the Iranians kill a senior American official, what will happen to them?”
Trump replied, “They will not exist very long any longer.”
The comment comes as Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, as well as Attorney General Todd Blanche, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, and White House Chief of Staff Stephen Miller have relocated to military installations and bases amid an increase in threats. Fort McNair along the Potomac River is believed to be one of the sites hosting Trump administration officials.

Bessent said during an appearance on CNBC that he will not live in fear of Iran.“Why am I going to be afraid when our, the brave military personnel in the Gulf, President (Donald) Trump, constantly receive death threats?” he asked, going on to explain that he followed instructions from Secret Service and “moved from my home to a military base.”
A source familiar with Bessent’s move told Fox News this week that his transition followed The Wall Street Journal publishing an article “featuring an online photo that allowed the location of the secretary’s Georgetown home to be geo-located, security concerns began to increase, which have now forced the secretary to relocate to a military base for his safety.”
President Trump vowed to claim “total victory” over Iran during his Veterans Day address. “America did not start a war with Iran. Iran has been waging war on America since 1979. They should have been taken care of a long time ago,” he said. “And it was just about time somebody fought back. All of us fought back. We fought back, we fought back, and we seriously fought back, and we won. Just the question of when we want to end. We want to make sure we have a total victory, not a 93% victory. It’s going to be total.”
