Senior advisor Javad Larijani says a small drone could hit the president in the navel' while he sunbathes at his estate in Florida. The aide to Ayatollah Ali Khamenei issued the warning on Iranian state television after the US attacked Iran to assist Israel. "Trump has done something so that he can no longer sunbathe in Mar-a-Lago. As he lies there with his stomach to the sun, a small drone might hit him in the navel. It's very simple," he joked. DHS and FBI are on high alert after the US conducted a surprise attack on Iran. Trump's poor dealing with Tehran dates back to 2017 when he recklessly withdrew the US from a successful Obama-era nuclear agreement designed to contain Iran's nuclear ambitions. Worse, in 2020 Trump crossed a line' when he ordered the killing of beloved IRGC General Qasem Soleimani by US drone strike. General Soleimani and the IRGC assisted US forces take over the city of Herat, Afghanistan during OEF.
USSS countermeasures include anti-drone technology and defensive weapons. Below, a US Army Soldier is training with a Drone Buster device. China has been developing difficult to detect micro-drones, but their lethality is negligible because of payload issues unless they carry a powerful toxin like ricin or a radioactive isotope like polonium-210. Last year prosecutors charged Farhad Shakeri with a murder-for-hire plot to kill Trump before the 2024 election, alleging that he had been directed by an IRGC official. An indictment is merely an accusation. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of a law.Link: justice.gov
