“Europeans can no longer move about comfortably in their own countries,” said former Iranian senior judiciary official  Mohammad Javad Larijani, who was also an adviser to the Supreme Leader. “It’s entirely possible that in the near future, five drones could strike a European city.”

As Iran continues to battle European pressure over the country's nuclear program, frustration and threats from the Iranian government appear to be on the rise.

In addition, actions—such as Iran's expelling of International Atomic Energy Agency inspectors due to fears they provided the U.S. and Israel with nuclear facilities intel—have refueled paranoia and retribution strategies.

“The United States and Israel know that if they strike again, our response will be heavier and more unexpected," threatened Larijani. “The enemy can no longer rely on its old methods. This time, we will not be surprised."

Quite boldly, Larijani also stated that President Trump could be in the crosshairs of a drone-deployed assassination attempt.

“Trump supporting Israel's war on Iran means he can no longer sunbathe in Mar-a-Lago,” said Larijani. “As he lies there with his stomach to the sun, a small drone might hit him in the navel. It’s very simple.”
