Officials confirm Iranian plot to assassinate former President Trump

Listen to this article

The same country responsible for the Oct. 7, 2023, attack in Israel that resulted in the murder, rape, and kidnapping of innocent civilian women and children in the worst attack against the Jewish people since the Holocaust is now actively trying to assassinate former President Donald Trump, according to newly released intelligence reports.

Three U.S. officials confirmed with NBC News that credible intelligence reveals an Iranian plot targeting an assassination of Trump —- who just four days ago narrowly avoided death from an unrelated assassination attempt in Pennsylvania.

According to NBC News, the new information caused the U.S. Secret Service to increase security, prior to Saturday’s assassination attempt.

The same Pro-Hamas groups are terrorizing innocent civilians on the streets of Milwaukee, including a member of U.S. Congress who was assaulted yesterday.

Officials said the ongoing Iranian plot against Trump had nothing to do with the Pennsylvania attempt on Trump’s life, labeling it “a horrible coincidence.”

According to intelligence sources, Iran’s desire to kill Trump is purely revenge.

“These threats arise from Iran’s desire to seek revenge for the killing of Qassem Soleimani,” said National Security Council spokesperson Adrienne Watson in an interview with The Washington Post.

Intelligence in recent weeks shows Iran’s targeting Trump was passed on to the Secret Service.

The Post pointed out that the additional resources did not prevent Saturday’s attack in Pennsylvania.

Since Saturday, online chatter has become a source of concern for the U.S. intelligence community and law enforcement.

According to a joint intelligence bulletin authored by Homeland Security and the FBI and obtained by The Associated Press, “individuals in some online communities have threatened, encouraged, or referenced acts of violence in response to the attempted assassination.”

Despite both an increase in enemies of Trump both foreign and domestic, the Secret Service has declined to increase security at the RNC.

But why?

On Tuesday in Milwaukee, former New York Mayor and Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani said the U.S. Secret Service does not have enough funding or resources to safely protect Americans.

Giuliani is no stranger to media attention as he earned the title “America’s Mayor” after successfully leading New York City in the aftermath of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.

Tuesday’s comment in Milwaukee was made in light of Saturday’s assassination attempt on former-President Donald Trump in Pennsylvania.

“I do know (the Secret Service) has asked for more resources and not gotten them,” Giuliani said, noting that originally Secret Service protection was denied for Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Despite the FBI gaining access to the Pennsylvania attempted assassin, Thomas Matthew Crooks’ cellphone, computer, vehicle, and conducting more than 100 interviews, questions still remain over Crooks donations to Democrat campaigns while attending a MAGA rally.

The Philadelphia Inquirer reported Crooks is a registered Republican, according to state voter rolls. However, a Wisconsin Law Journal investigation revealed Crooks had previously donated $15 to Democrats in 2021.
