A former senior Iranian military official claims that Tehran can and may assassinate Donald Trump within the White House. Hossein Kanani Moghaddam, an ex-senior commander in Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, delivered the alarming statement that the U.S. President remains within their operational range.

In an interview with Iranian news outlet Fararu, he stated, “If the goal is to assassinate Trump, the Islamic Republic can easily do so in the White House. Whenever necessary, we are capable of doing that.”

“We are not negotiating with the Americans for peace. We are negotiating to reduce tensions,” Moghaddam stated, asserting the discussions are strictly intended to reinforce the Islamic Republic’s demands.

He continued: “We are not negotiating for peace with Trump and his criminal aides. In the negotiations, we are only seeking to restore our rights and clarify the accusations made against us by the United States,” reports the Daily Star.
