US: ‘Iran Plotting Against Trump’

By Stefan J. Bos, Chief International Correspondent Worthy News

TEHRAN/WASHINGTON (Worthy News) – Iran has denied interfering in American affairs after the United States warned Tehran to stop plotting against former President Donald J. Trump, who seeks to return to the White House.

U.S. President Joe Biden has been briefed regularly on the threats, and he directed his team to address Iranian plots against Americans, including Trump, according to officials familiar with the situation.

On Wednesday, Newt Gingrich, the former Republican speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, expressed concern about Tehran’s threats against Trump.

He told the Fox News Channel, calling it “one of the major threats to the United States” as killing an American leader would be an act of war.

Iran, in turn, said Washington has interfered in its affairs for decades, citing events ranging from a 1953 coup against a prime minister to the 2020 killing of its military commander in a U.S. drone strike.

In January 2020, Trump ordered a U.S. air strike that killed Iran’s then-top military commander, Qassem Soleimani, saying he had received intelligence that Soleimani was planning imminent attacks on diplomats and U.S. troops in Lebanon, Syria, and elsewhere in the Middle East.

TRUMP BRIEFED

Tehran is also furious that Trump, as president, withdrew from the Iran nuclear deal, unraveling the signature foreign policy of his predecessor Barack Obama, and that he moved the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem, according to a Worthy News assessment.

His campaign has said that Trump, who survived two assassination attempts, was briefed by U.S. intelligence officials on the alleged threat from Iran.

It comes while Trump is now in a political battle against Vice President Kamala Harris in the race for the November 5 election.

A Fox News national survey showed former President Trump two percentage points ahead of Vice President Kamala Harris in the presidential contest.

He would receive 50 percent against 48 percent for Harris in the popular while also making gains in the so-called “swing states” that could go either way, according to the survey.

That’s a reversal from last month when Harris had a narrow advantage.
