US Intel Uncovers Iranian Plot to Assassinate Trump, Heightens Security
- IndiaGlitz, [Wednesday,July 17 2024]
Recently released information indicates an Iranian scheme to kill former President Donald Trump. A U.S. official verified that Trump's campaign has received specifics of this heightened danger relayed by the Secret Service.
The White House said there are no signs the suspected shooter in Saturday's attempted attack of Trump had any foreign or local accomplices, even if it refrained from commenting on the topic. Iran wrote out the claims as unsubstantiated and malicious.
Years of persistent worries among U.S. officials about Tehran seeking retribution against Trump for the January 2020 death of Iranian military commander Qassem Soleimani have Spokesperson for the White House National Security Council Adrienne Watson underlined once more that national and homeland security remain top priorities despite Iranian threats motivated by a need for retribution over Soleimani's killing.
Learning of the increased threat, the National Security Council told the Secret Service, which subsequently strengthened Trump's security protocols. The developing threat was also reported to the Trump campaign.
Iran's response to the charges was these accusations are unsubstantiated and malicious, said their mission to the United Nations in New York. Emphasizing their dedication to seek legal action, they also claimed from Iran's point of view that Trump is a criminal who has to be punished for the murder of Soleimani.
Following a 20-year-old gunman gaining access to a rooftop overlooking a Trump event, grazing Trump's ear, murdering a rally goer, and wounding two others, the Secret Service came under heavy fire. Congress is also looking at how the Secret Service handled the incident; President Joe Biden has authorized an independent inquiry of it.
