Trump says US would 'completely decimate' Iran if Iran tries to kill him

President Donald Trump warned that the United States would 'completely decimate' Iran if it attempted or succeeded in assassinating him, saying 1,000 missiles are locked and loaded and thousands more would follow, with the US military ready for a one-year period, subject to extension, to destroy all areas of Iran.

For Nigerians, the threat raises concerns about a possible escalation in the Middle East that could spike global oil prices. As Africa's largest oil producer, Nigeria's government revenue and household fuel costs are sensitive to such shocks, and a conflict could also affect Nigerians living or traveling in the United States or the region.

Nigerians should monitor oil price movements, consider how fuel price changes might affect household budgets, and check any travel advisories if planning trips to the US or Middle East. Staying informed through reliable news sources will help assess whether the situation evolves into a broader crisis that could impact trade, aid, or security cooperation.
