Secretary of State Antony Blinken said yesterday that the US is “intensely tracking” ongoing Iranian threats against current and former American politicians, including former President Donald Trump.
Iran has been a persistent national security threat, and law enforcement officials worry that the country is planning assassinations of former Trump officials or even Trump himself.
Trump shared on Truth Social yesterday that Iran has “big threats” on his life. He continued by saying, “The entire U.S. Military is watching and waiting. Moves were already made by Iran that didn’t work out, but they will try again.”
Iran’s threats have intensified since the US killed the commander of their Islamic Revolutionary Guard under the Trump administration in 2020. CNN reports that former senior Trump officials have had strict security protection since leaving office.
