President Trump warned Iran late Monday amid reports that U.S. intelligence officials believe Tehran is considering a plan to assassinate a U.S. ambassador that his administration's response would be "1,000 times greater in magnitude.”

“Any attack by Iran, in any form, against the United States will be met with an attack on Iran that will be 1,000 times greater in magnitude!” the president added.
