The United States’ 2024 Presidential candidate Donald Trump on Wednesday revealed that he is facing big threats after receiving warnings from intelligence about potential assassination attempts from Iran. He stated that “Big threats on my life by Iran. The entire U.S. Military is watching and waiting.”
Reports are suggesting that Trump has been informed by US intelligence officials about alleged assassination threats from Iran. “Real and specific threats from Iran to assassinate him in an effort to destabilize and sow chaos in the United States,” the campaign statement read.
In an X post, Trump revealed his concern over Iran’s previous unsuccessful move and indicated they may attempt again. He wrote “Not a good situation for anyone. I am surrounded by more men, guns, and weapons than I have ever seen before.”
However, the former President also expressed gratitude to Congress for unanimously approving additional funding for the Secret Service and highlighted bipartisan support.
His campaign had mentioned that he had been briefed on “real and specific threats” from Iran, stating it could lead to destabilization in the US. Trump called in for extreme measures and urged America to “wipe off Iran off the face of the Earth” if threats materialize.
