Recent Intelligence Reveals Iran Plot to Assassinate Donald Trump, CNN Reports

US authorities recently obtained intelligence from a human source revealing a plot by Iran to assassinate former President Donald Trump. This development led to increased security measures by the Secret Service around Trump, as reported by CNN. Despite the attempted assassination by Thomas Matthew Crooks, there is no indication that he was connected to the plot.

The existence of this intelligence threat from a hostile foreign agency raises questions about security lapses at a recent rally in Pennsylvania, where shots were fired at Trump. The Secret Service and Trump campaign were made aware of the threat before the rally, and resources were surged to protect the former president.

The Trump campaign has not disclosed whether they were informed of the Iran threat, but Secret Service officials have warned against holding outdoor rallies due to security risks. The FBI is currently investigating the shooting incident, and the Iranian Mission to the UN has denied any involvement in an assassination plot.

Iran has vowed revenge for the killing of General Soleimani, and former Trump administration officials have been targets of assassination plots. The recent intelligence suggests an uptick in the threat, with online messaging from Iranian sources mentioning Trump, raising concerns among US officials.

As the investigation continues, Trump and Republican vice presidential nominee Sen. JD Vance are set to hold their first official campaign rally together in Michigan. The story is still developing, with additional updates expected.
