Iran may try to assassinate Trump officials
American Military News ^ | 1/10/22 | Ryan Morgan

The Biden administration is taking seriously a string of recent threats and sanctions from Iran against Trump administration officials around the two-year anniversary of the Jan. 3, 2020 strike that killed Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani. Iran’s actions may indicate Iran is plotting to assassinate the officials.

On Saturday, Iran announced sanctions against 51 Americans, including Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley as well as several individuals who worked with the Trump administration, like former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley and private military contractor Erik Prince. While sanctions typically yield economic punishment, current and former U.S. officials told the Washington Examiner that Iran’s sanctions are being treated as a threat of physical harm.

One U.S. official told the Washington Examiner that the Iranian sanctions amount to an assassination threat.

“In essence, a government official in the world’s foremost state sponsor of terrorism invited Americans to partake in domestic terrorism against one another,” Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD) senior fellow Behnam Ben Taleblu also told the Washington Examiner.

Biden will probably give them useful intelligence.

Milley? I would think that Iran would want to hurt us.
People like Milley are who I was thinking of in saying maybe Iran would be doing us a favor.

Iran will get the word that Milley is off-limits and will immediately comply.

Every finishing touch possible is being put on this narrative.

The Bad Orange Man is to be considered persona non grata. Anyone who ever supported him publicly, or, heaven forbid, ever helped him run for POTUS or accepted a high position in his administration, are to be “othered”—in this case, placed in fear of their lives—because they committed the unforgivable sin of associating or allying themselves with He Who Is To Be Rejected.

If the roles were reversed—say, if Trump were president at this time, and a former Donkey Party president and that president’s cabinet heads were the ones being ominously threatened—Trump would be deploying everything in his verbal and diplomatic, and probably also military, arsenal to cause the threatening party to regret having uttered any such threats.

Instead Brandon weaponizes ambiguity and visibly leverages his weakness and fecklessness to AMPLIFY the terroristic threat, simply because the presidency and cabinet involved were that of Donald J. Trump, whom he wishes to airbrush out of U.S. history!

What a disgrace. Typical Brandon behavior, though, unfortunately.

The Biden administration is taking seriously a string of recent threats and sanctions from Iran against Trump administration officials...

And has inquired with Iran as to how they might cooperate ...

One must always remember, that when a Democrat speaks, they are projecting their own thoughts and attributing them to those they claim may be trying to do an act of aggression.

Its all a setup, Biden’s cronies are planning on assassinating Trump…””

I’d be amazed if they are stupid enough to go the assassination route. The administration could put paid to this stupid threat FAST but they probably won’t. Consequently any assassination of Trump I will regard as the direct act of the administration.

I’ll bet they’re being funded by the Brandon Administration and the ‘RATS down at the DNC.

Just like school shooters, The FBI will know when and where, help them do it in some cases, and sit back and watch them do it in others.

Donald. You Stable Genius. You missed your opportunity to really take care of these people. Now, you will spend the remaining years of your life on the run. And worry if they will stop with you and not go after everyone in your family until they are all taken care of. At first it was from the legal system. Now the threat is on your life.

Let this be a lesson to all of you. The left needs not to be defeated but ELIMINATED AND DESTROYED. ALL OF IT.

Well said.

The sooner, however, that America at large and the political party in opposition, the GOP, accepts that Biden is not a one-man threat but rather is the propped-up head of a large, dedicated popularly supported anti-MAGA machine the sooner our nation will begin to right itself.

I miss it a lot. I'm one of the thousands who fled California. Moved to Charlotte, NC in 2015, but in my heart I will always be a SoCal person.
