Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump received a briefing on alleged threats from Iran to assassinate him, as stated by his campaign on Tuesday. The Office of the Director of National Intelligence informed Trump about real and specific threats from Iran aimed at destabilizing and causing chaos in the United States.
The campaign emphasized that Iranian threats have been escalating recently, leading US government officials to take measures to protect Trump and ensure the integrity of the upcoming elections. Despite previous denials from Iran about interfering in American affairs, they did not respond to requests for comment following the briefing.
In response to the briefing, an ODNI spokesperson confirmed the information but refrained from providing further details.
