Washington, D.C., USA - September 25, 2024:
The Trump campaign released a statement on Tuesday alleging that former President Donald Trump has been briefed by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence about ongoing and credible threats from Iran to assassinate him. The campaign described the threats as part of a broader strategy by Iran to destabilize the United States ahead of the upcoming election.
According to the statement, intelligence officials have noted a recent increase in the frequency and coordination of these threats, prompting heightened security measures. Law enforcement agencies at all levels are reportedly involved in efforts to protect the former president and ensure the integrity of the electoral process.
"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," said Steven Cheung, Trump Campaign Communications Director. "He will let nothing stop him or get in his way to fight for the American people and to Make America Great Again."
The campaign's remarks underscore ongoing tensions between the U.S. and Iran, highlighting the former president's stance on foreign policy and national security as a central theme of his re-election campaign. No further details about specific threats or protective measures were provided.
This statement comes as Trump seeks to position himself as a strong leader against perceived international threats, contrasting his approach with that of the current administration. The situation remains fluid, with national security officials closely monitoring the threat landscape.
