Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has raised concerns about his safety following a US intelligence briefing on alleged threats from Iran to assassinate him. Trump took to his Truth Social platform to address the issue, stating that he is under close watch by the US military due to the perceived threats. His campaign spokesperson confirmed that the Office of the Director of National Intelligence has warned Trump about potential attempts on his life by Iran, in an effort to cause chaos in the United States.
Iran has denied these allegations, with their mission to the United Nations in New York remaining silent on the matter. While specifics of the threats have not been disclosed, Trump previously accused Iran of interfering in his campaign by hacking sensitive documents. Despite past incidents, including a shooting at one of his rallies and a foiled assassination plot, authorities continue to investigate potential threats against the former president.
