‘Major Threats to My Life from Iran,’ Donald Trump Claims – World

Former US President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that he had received threats against his life from Iran.

“Major threats to my life by Iran. There have been moves made by Iran that didn’t work, but they’ll try again,” the Republican presidential candidate said on Truth Social. He also said the entire U.S. military is “watching and waiting.”

Trump thanked Congress for unanimously approving additional funding for the Secret Service, noting that he is now surrounded by more men, guns and weapons than ever before.

Trump made the comments after gunshots were heard near his Florida residence on September 15. However, authorities later confirmed that he was safe.

The Sept. 15 incident, which authorities are treating as an assassination attempt, was the second time in as many months that someone has tried to kill the former president.

A July 13 shooting at a political rally in Pennsylvania left Trump slightly wounded when a bullet grazed his ear. The gunman, identified as Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, was killed when Secret Service agents returned fire.

US intelligence warns Trump of real assassination threat from Tehran

Trump was briefed by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence on Tuesday about what officials described as “real and specific threats” from Iran to assassinate him and destabilize the U.S., his campaign said late Tuesday.

“Intelligence agencies have determined that these sustained and coordinated attacks have increased in recent months, and law enforcement officials from all agencies are working to ensure that President Trump is protected and the election is free from interference,” Steven Cheung, Trump’s campaign communications director, said in a statement.

“Make no mistake, the terror regime in Iran loves Kamala Harris’ weakness and is terrified of President Trump’s strength and determination,” Cheung said.

“He will let nothing stop him or get in his way to fight for the American people and to make America great again.”
