Top US officials have sent messages to the highest levels of the Iranian government warning Tehran to cease all plotting against Trump and former US officials.
The United States has warned the Iranian government to stop all plotting against Republican Donald Trump and said that Washington would view any attempt on his life as an act of war, a US official said on Monday.
The official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said US President Joe Biden has been briefed regularly on the threats and directed his team to address Iranian plots against Americans.
At Biden's direction, top US officials have sent messages to the highest levels of the Iranian government warning Tehran to cease all plotting against Trump and former US officials, the official said.
Act of war The Iranians have been told that Washington would view it as an act of war if any attempt were carried out against Trump's life, the official said.
Iran has denied interfering in US affairs. Tehran, in turn, says Washington has interfered in its affairs for decades, citing events ranging from a 1953 coup against a prime minister to the 2020 killing of its military commander in a US drone strike.
In January 2020, Trump ordered a US air strike that killed Iran's then-top military commander, Qassem Soleimani, after receiving intelligence that Soleimani was planning imminent attacks on US diplomats and armed forces in Iraq, Lebanon, Syria and elsewhere in the Middle East.
Trump, a Republican, is now seeking a return to the White House after losing the 2020 election to Biden. Trump is now in a battle against Vice President Kamala Harris in the race for the Nov. 5 election.
His campaign said on Sept. 24 that US intelligence officials briefed Trump on the alleged threat from Iran.
The White House said the United States has been closely tracking Iranian threats against Trump for years, and it warned of "severe consequences" if Tehran was to attack any US citizen.
"We consider this a national and homeland security matter of the highest priority, and we strongly condemn Iran for these brazen threats. Should Iran attack any of our citizens, including those who continue to serve the United States or those who formerly served, Iran will face severe consequences," said White House National Security Council spokesperson Sean Savett.
He said, "Appropriate agencies are continuously and promptly providing the former president’s security detail with evolving threat information."
"Additionally, President Biden has reiterated his directive that the United States Secret Service should receive every resource, capability, and protective measure required to address those evolving threats to the former president," Savett said.
Iran and the world know that the primary threat to Donald Trump's life comes from radicals within the Democrat Party
But an actual kill——not so much.
One last attempt to look patriotic and presidential
Sounds like someone is looking to start a war.
Iran has been at war with us since the 1970s.
L
That’s exactly what I was thinking. Imagine the radical left starting a war, with a country most Americans despise while looking like they are being partisan in “protecting Trump”. Might be too close to the election to change anything but could be close enough to change everything.
I dont think so.
I dont think biden much likes harris or obama or his husband or the clintons.
Or anybody that shoved him out of the election.
He made her look awful when he said he gets along with DeSantis and Desantis has his personal phone number.
That joke about reentering the race...I dont think harris found it funny.
Interesting times.
Or i could be completely wrong :)
What the hell do I know? :)
BTW, hope your’e well!
Sneaky SOBs are trying to blame Iran. I don’t trust them.
Radicals in the FBI and CIA. Three attempts so far, they are terified. So be it! If they pull it off, we have civil war. Saw a panhandlers sign the other day, “ give me $ or I’m voting for Harris”. I gave him a few bucks as that is a legitimate threat to our country.
Biden has been in government for over 50 years. As whackadoodle and senile as he is, he still has better operatives than both Obama and Harris. Biden is Deep State with some CCP thrown in. Obama is Radical Islam and Harris is CCP.
Biden, in my opinion is performing the coup de tat on Harris’s campaign because the administration veered too far to the left for the Deep State’s comfort. As bad Trump may seem to the left, once you cross the Rubicon, there is no turning back. I don’t think the Deep State is prepared on what the future holds for them if Harris wins.
In other words, the dog has just about caught the car. Now what?
just go to the beach old man. Nobody believes you anymore.
ROTFL! Yeah right. Who threated Iran? KJP the midget? Come on. We’ve got an election coming up. Let’s get real.
I HATE when people have far better insight than me!!
I’ll probably call you bad names the rest of the day :) jk!
ya know...it’s gone too far and sometimes things get out of control even in the hands of the deep state.
i dont know how things got so insane so quickly, but I even remember obummer saying “you gotta break this to the masses a little more slowly”....not that he didn’t want it all...he just knew it was happening too fast.
I didn’t think about all of them having different alliances or interests as you mentioned.
Deep state, CCP, Islam...the FAR FAR FAR left agenda....
It’s too much for my small mind to figure out what happens from here.
I’ll leave that to the smart guys like you :)
My opinion is that Biden said it to (once again) stick it to kaMAla. Every time he appears to be favoring PDJT even a tiny little bit it could hurt her. I’m comfortable with that.
Maybe the act of war will not be against who they think it will be!
He is a joke to the rest of the world.
Setting up the false flag operation.
This is getting pretty disturbing if you ask me. This is like the third story with this same line “and attempt on Trump’s life....”
I really think that instead of being a warning to Iran that such an act would mean war, but as a cover for THIS government trying to assassinate him and blaming Iran for it. They’ve already incited two attempts.
Top US officials added: wink, wink.
The stage has already been set, with media reference to Iranian missiles taking out Trump One. Please do not discount this!
