Trump briefed on ‘real and specific threats’ from Iran to assassinate him, campaign says

Former President Trump was briefed Tuesday about ‘real and specific threats’ from Iran to assassinate the Republican presidential candidate, according to his campaign. 

Iran’s aim to assassinate Trump is part of the Islamic Republic’s efforts to ‘destabilize and sow chaos in the United States,’ Trump Campaign Communications Director Steven Cheung said in a press release. 

‘Intelligence officials have identified that these continued and coordinated attacks have heightened in the past few months, and law enforcement officials across all agencies are working to ensure President Trump is protected and the election is free from interference,’ Cheung said. 

‘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.’
