The U.S sank an Iranian ship in the Indian Ocean on Wednesday. The latest development in the conflict has now led Iranian Ayatollah Abdollah Javadi Amolito send a new threat to Donald Trump – calling for his blood.

The attacks on Iran conducted by the U.S and Israel have led to many casualties. More than 1000 people in Iran have been confirmed dead, and six U.S service members have died. Meanwhile, attacks in Iran continue, as the conflict has also seen attacks in other countries conducted by Iran.

At a press conference on Wednesday, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth shared news that the U.S had conducted a new attack on Iran, this time in the Indian Ocean. An American submarine torpedoed an Iranian warship. The ship sank and left more than 80 sailors dead.

The attack has also been confirmed by Iran’s foreign minister. He also warned the U.S about continuing the attacks.

“The U.S has perpetrated an atrocity at sea, 2,000 miles away from Iran’s shores. Frigate Dena, a guest of India’s Navy carrying almost 130 sailors, was struck in international waters without warning,” Abbas Araqchi wrote on X on Thursday. “Mark my words: The U.S will come to bitterly regret (the) precedent it has set.”

Ayatollah calls for Donald Trump’s blood with new threat

The threat towards Donald Trump has increased following the Iran attacks. On Wednesday, Pete Hegseth claimed that an Iranian assassination unit had attempted to assassinate Donald Trump, but the U.S military tracked down the group’s leader and killed him.

“The leader of the unit who attempted to assassinate President Trump has been hunted down and killed,” Hegseth said. “Iran tried to kill President Trump. And President Trump got the last laugh.”

But the threat towards Donald Trump isn’t over. Per the NY Post, Iranian Ayatollah Abdollah Javadi Amoli appeared on Iranian state television on Thursday, calling for the “shedding of Trump’s blood” in the wake of the deadly naval attack.

“We are now on the verge of a great test, and we must be careful to fully preserve this unity, to fully preserve this alliance,” Amoli said. “The Imam of the time says, ‘Fight the oppressive America, his blood is on my shoulders.’”
