Iran has rejected US media reports of plotting to assassinate former US President Donald Trump. American media reports said that there was a plot to assassinate former US President Donald Trump in Tehran, which Iran has denied.
On Tuesday, CNN claimed that US officials had learned from humanitarian sources in recent weeks about an Iranian plot to assassinate Donald Trump, prompting heightened security around the former president.
According to Xinhua news agency, in a statement today, the spokesman of Iran’s foreign ministry, Nasir Kanani, said that the top Iranian commander Qassem Soleimani was killed in January 2020 and Iran blames Donald Trump for his direct involvement in the crime. Committed to prosecuting.
However, Tehran has denied any involvement in the recent attack on former President Donald Trump. Iran has also categorically denied that it intended to plot the assassination of Trump. Spokesman Nasir Kanani said that the claims made by the American media that Iran is behind the conspiracy to assassinate Donald Trump are full of biased political intentions.
Last Saturday, a 20-year-old man named Thomas Matthew Crook shot at the former US president during an election rally in the state of Pennsylvania. The bullet grazed Trump’s ear and he narrowly escaped the attack. One person present at the rally was killed and two others were injured in the incident.
Citing a US national intelligence official, CNN reported that the intelligence services and the Trump campaign had been briefed on the Iranian threat before Saturday’s rally.
However, the report also states that there is no evidence so far linking Thomas Matthew Crook, who shot Donald Trump, to this conspiracy.
Iran’s mission to the United Nations in New York denied CNN’s claim as baseless and biased in a statement. It said that Iran believes that Donald Trump should be punished by the court for killing Soleimani.
