The US intelligence service has warned Donald Trump, the country’s former president and Republican presidential candidate ahead of the autumn elections, about Iranian threats to assassinate him. This is stated by his campaign staff.
“President Trump was informed earlier today by the intelligence community of real and specific threats from Iran to assassinate him, in an effort to destabilize and sow chaos in the United States,” the statement said.
Iran has denied such claims in the past.
