Iran accused of wanting to kill Trump
Former President Donald Trump warned in an overnight social media post, as his campaign was reporting he had been briefed by intelligence sources about assassination threats from Iran, that it would be a "Death Wish" for an attacker to come after a former president.
"Big threats on my life by Iran," Trump posed on Truth Social early Wednesday. "The entire U.S. Military is watching and waiting. Moves were already made by Iran that didn't work out, but they will try again. Not a good situation for anyone."
Trump also thanked Congress for its unanimous approval of more money for the Secret Service after assassination attempts against him during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania in July and at Trump International Golf Club West Palm Beach earlier this month.
"I am surrounded by more men, guns, and weapons than I have ever seen before," Trump said. "Thank you to Congress for unanimously approving far more money to Secret Service – Zero 'NO' Votes, strictly bipartisan. Nice to see Republicans and Democrats get together on something."
The Senate on Tuesday passed a bill that gives major presidential candidates like Trump and his Democrat rival, Vice President Kamala Harris, the same level of protection as a sitting president.
The Trump campaign said Tuesday night the former president was briefed earlier in the day by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence concerning "real and specific threats from Iran to assassinate him in an effort to sow chaos in the United States."
"Intelligence officials have identified that these continued and coordinated attacks have heightened in the past few months, and law enforcement officials across all agencies are working to ensure President Trump is protected and the election is free from interference," Trump campaign communications director Steven Cheung added in a statement.
The threats come, Cheung said, because the "terror regime in Iran loves the weakness of Kamala Harris and is terrified of the strength and resolve of President Trump" who will "let nothing stop him or get in his way to fight for the American people and to Make America Great Again."

So far I have seen no direct connection between Iran and the two attempts on Trump's life during this campaign. But intelligence appears to suggest Iran would like to kill Trump. While this report suggests Iran would do so to sow discord, I suspect the regime fears a Trump administration would be more likely to respond to Iranian aggression than would Kamala Harris. While Trump started no wars while in office the bad guys were much quieter.
