Report: Iran Targets Trump For Renewed Assassination Plan
A report has come to light renewed plans by Iran to assassinate President Donald Trump.
Iran has one target on its mind — President Donald Trump.
That comes from intelligence from Israel which indicated Iran has new plans to assassinate Trump.
The Wall Street Journal report on the matter Thursday citing people familiar with the matter.
This would mark an escalation in the longstanding threats against Trump.
Iran has vowed to retaliate against the president since the 2020 U.S. strike that killed Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Gen. Qassem Soleimani.
"They want to take out the U.S. leader — me. I’m on whatever list. I saw this morning I’m on every single one of their lists," Trump said. "And, so far, I guess I’ve been a bit lucky, but maybe that doesn’t last very long. These are evil, sick people. And we have to root out that cancer. That cancer. You know what you do? You’ve got to cut out cancer early. And that’s the way I feel."
