Wed Sep 25 02:32:00 UTC 2024: ## Trump Campaign Claims Iran Plotting to Assassinate Him, Citing Intelligence Briefings
**Washington D.C.** – Donald Trump’s presidential campaign has issued a statement alleging that Iranian intelligence agencies are actively working to assassinate the former president. The campaign claims Trump was briefed by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence on “real and specific threats” from Iran, stating these threats have intensified in recent months.
Campaign communications director Steven Cheung said the intelligence officials identified the assassination plot as an attempt to destabilize the United States and sow chaos. Cheung also stated that law enforcement officials are working to ensure Trump’s safety and safeguard the upcoming November 5th presidential election from foreign interference.
This latest accusation comes amid heightened tensions between the United States and Iran, including allegations of Iranian cyberattacks on Trump’s campaign. US officials have accused Iran of attempting to influence the 2024 election by hacking the campaign and leaking stolen information to both the Biden campaign and US media outlets. Iran has denied all accusations.
The US government has also identified Russia, Iran, and China as actively engaging in election influence activities, attempting to exacerbate societal divisions in the United States.
With the November 5th election rapidly approaching, the Trump campaign’s claims of an assassination plot raise serious concerns about the potential for foreign interference and the safety of candidates. The US government has vowed to take steps to safeguard the integrity of the election and protect its citizens.
