Trump says 'big threats' on his life by Iran
Former President Donald Trump said Wednesday there were "big threats" on his life posed by Iran after the Republican presidential candidate's campaign team said US intelligence warned him of "real and specific" threats from Tehran, AFP reported.
"Big threats on my life by Iran. The entire U.S. Military is watching and waiting," Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform. "Moves were already made by Iran that didn't work out, but they will try again. ... I am surrounded by more men, guns, and weapons than I have ever seen before."
His campaign spokesman Steven Cheung said in a statement on Tuesday that Trump was warned by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) “regarding real and specific threats from Iran to assassinate him in an effort to destabilize and sow chaos in the United States”.
“Intelligence officials have identified that these continued and coordinated attacks have heightened in the past few months,” Cheung said.
