The broadcast showed video from the July 2024 shooting attempt on Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, alongside a chilling caption translated as, “This time, the bullet won’t miss.” The message appeared at a time of heightened tensions, as Trump considers possible military action against Iran and continues to voice strong support for anti-government protests inside the country.
The provocative broadcast comes amid more than two weeks of sustained demonstrations against Iran’s ruling clerical establishment. Trump has openly encouraged Iranian protesters, telling them that support was coming and urging them to challenge state institutions, a stance that has further angered Tehran.
Similar threatening slogans have also been seen during pro-regime demonstrations in the Iranian capital. Protesters gathered outside the British Embassy in Tehran holding placards with warnings such as “the arrow doesn’t always miss,” echoing the message shown on state television.
Trump has repeatedly warned the Iranian leadership against harming or executing protesters, promising “strong action” if such acts continue. As tensions between the two countries deepen, Iran’s defence minister stated that the country would respond forcefully to any US attack, vowing full retaliation if threatened.
Human rights organisations report that thousands have been killed and more than 10,000 arrested in clashes between security forces and demonstrators. In response to growing instability, the United States and the United Kingdom have begun withdrawing military personnel from key bases across the Middle East as a precaution.
Reports also suggest that Iranian authorities are accelerating trials and executions of detained protesters, despite international warnings. The situation has raised fears of a broader conflict, with military movements, harsh rhetoric, and human rights concerns converging to create an increasingly volatile crisis.
