Can Trump trigger a 'dead man's switch' against Iran if killed?

Donald Trump’s claim that Iran would be totally wiped out if he were killed has sparked rumors about a potential 'dead man's switch.' In reality, American law does not permit such a system. Should a president pass away, the vice president instantly takes over as commander-in-chief, gaining total control of the military. The successor is not legally obligated to follow any previous military commands or spoken instructions left by the former president.
