The Trump campaign has revealed that former President Donald Trump was briefed on “real and specific threats” from Iran to assassinate him, citing the Islamic Republic’s efforts to destabilize the United States.
According to Steven Cheung, Director of Trump Campaign Communications, Iran aims to sow chaos in the US by targeting Trump. Cheung stated that intelligence officials have identified increased coordinated attacks against Trump in recent months.
Law enforcement agencies are working together to ensure Trump’s protection and prevent election interference. This development comes as tensions between the US and Iran escalate, particularly regarding Lebanon, where Israel has targeted Hezbollah, a militant group backed by Tehran.
Trump has reportedly faced two assassination attempts in recent months, with Iran denying involvement. Despite this, US authorities have accused Iran of attempting to meddle in the 2024 election, including targeting Trump’s campaign with hacking attempts.
Cheung emphasized, “Make no mistake, the terror regime in Iran loves the weakness of Kamala Harris, and is terrified of the strength and resolve of President Trump. He will let nothing stop him or get in his way to fight for the American people and to Make America Great Again.”
With the US presidential election looming on November 5, concerns about foreign interference and assassination threats are intensifying. The Trump campaign’s warning highlights the complex geopolitical landscape surrounding the election.
