The United States accuses Iran of organizing the assassination of Donald Trump
CNN reports that the US government has received intelligence that Iran is planning to assassinate Donald Trump, so the Special Service has increased security measures around the former president. However, such measures did not bear fruit, while the sources did not give any information about the involvement of the 20-year-old in the plot.
In recent weeks, the US government has received intelligence from a source familiar with an Iranian plot to assassinate Donald Trump. This is reported by CNN citing sources.
Sources familiar with the matter told CNN that in recent weeks, US officials have received information about Iran's plan to destroy Donald Trump, after which the Secret Service has increased security measures around the former president.
Thomas Matthew Crooks, who attempted to assassinate the former president on Saturday, is not known to be involved in the plot, according to sources.
Heightened security measures were ineffective at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania on Saturday, raising new questions about how a 20-year-old man managed to climb onto a nearby rooftop to open fire.
It is noted that the Intelligence Service has repeatedly warned the Trump campaign against holding outdoor rallies .
A Homeland Security official said the Secret Service and the Trump campaign were aware of the threat before Saturday's rally.
The Trump campaign has not disclosed whether it was aware of the Iranian threat.
"We do not comment on information about President Trump's security service. All questions should be directed to the US Secret Service," the campaign said in a statement.
On January 3, 2020, the Iranian general Sulaimani, who led the elite Quds Force of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps ( IRGC ) , was killed by a US airstrike near the Baghdad airport. This missile strike was carried out by the personal order of the President of the United States at that time, Trump.
