Following the assassination of Iranian top General in 2020, US security services were constantly on high alert on a potential assassination of Donald Trump.
There is mounting series of indication that Tehran is diligently developing plans to assassinate former US President Donald Trump, according to the American intelligence services. Donald Trump is one of the two main candidates campaigning for the US election in November. According to some prominent American sources with direct knowledge of the issue, the current president’s team has compiled data from a variety of channels. Among them are firsthand accounts from intelligence officials of actual measures of violence connected to threats coming from Tehran; these threats, they claimed, had the potential to murder the republican candidate.
Tehran has been thinking for years about a way to exact revenge on Trump for the 2020 assassination of senior Iranian commander Qassem Soleimani. However, the country’s authorities asserted that during the campaigns period, evidence has increased and they are now more certain of Tehran’s objectives. They claimed that in the upcoming months, further assaults might be directed against Donald Trump. Being anonymous was provided to both individuals so they could discuss confidential details. CNN recently revealed that prior to the latest planning on assassinating the former president during his rally in Pennsylvania, the United States was notified of an Iranian plan to murder the former president. Both sources, however, emphasized that no proof could link Saturday attack to Iran.
US intelligence offices provided no more details and evaded concerning questions. An inquiry for response was not quickly responded to by the Trump team either.
Potential Threats
National Security Council spokesperson alleged that “we have repeatedly and consistently briefed the public and Congress on the existence of these threats. We have repeatedly met at the highest levels of our government to develop and implement a comprehensive response to these threats.” She said that the organization has dedicated significant efforts to gathering more data regarding these dangers. In addition to directly warning Iran, they also seek to dislodge those responsible for these hazards. Tehran has always been accused of threatening American elections, mostly through manipulation and disinformation activities on online platforms. Throughout the decades, US lawmakers have issued warnings against the country’s plans to sway US elections and implemented punitive measures against those who succeed.
Avril Haines, the US director of national intelligence, brought attention to the Islamic Republic’s role in American demonstrations against Gaza in an unusual public speech last week. Players associated with the Tehran have attempted to strategically capitalize on the recent demonstrations against the Gaza War by employing a script that were seen to be utilized by other players. Haines asserts that “we have observed actors tied to Iran’s government posing as activists online, seeking to encourage protests, and even providing financial support to protesters.”
Although authorities have long monitored Iran’s resentment since the Soleimani attack, tangible warnings of retaliation from Iran that can be independently confirmed are quite uncommon.
According to one source, the Biden office continues to prevent such strikes since it is evident from the data that the U.S. has received that Iranian is constantly planning. Even still, security and defense authorities continue to be concerned about Iranian agents, with a part of them affiliated with groups that possess the means to launch significant strikes on the United States assets and interests.
