The US would consider it an act of war if Iran tried to kill Trump, the American leader said.
Any assassination attempt on former US President Donald Trump or former US officials by Iran would be considered an act of war. The American leader Joe Biden said this, The Washington Post reports.
US National Security Council spokesman Sean Savett said Washington had been monitoring Iran’s threats against Trump for years, dating back to his time as president.
Thus, the United States warned Iran of serious consequences in the event of an assassination attempt on US presidential candidate Donald Trump, former national security adviser John Bolton, former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and the special representative of the Trump administration from Iran, Brian Hook.
“If Iran attacks any of our citizens, including those who continue to serve the United States or those who have previously served, Iran will face serious consequences,” Savett said.
Biden sent messages to the highest levels of the Iranian government warning them to stop plotting against Trump and former US officials, according to a senior administration official.
The publication states that Biden ordered the National Security Council to warn Iran to stop the threats, adding that the United States would consider any attempt on Trump’s life an act of war.
It will be recalled that the US intelligence agencies received information that Iran was preparing an assassination attempt on Trump, which is why the Secret Service strengthened security measures around the former president
