Trump’s campaign team says there are “real and concrete threats” from Iran to assassinate Trump. The Republican addressed the issue in a campaign speech.
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has reacted with drastic words to an alleged threat from Iran. The background to this is that Trump’s campaign team had announced that Trump had been informed by US intelligence “about real and concrete threats from Iran to assassinate him.” Now the ex-president said in a campaign speech in the US state of North Carolina: “If I were the president, I would tell the threatening country, in this case Iran: If you do anything that harms this person, we will blow up your biggest cities and the country itself.” Then there would be no more threats.
“But right now we don’t have that leadership, or the necessary people, the necessary leaders,” Trump continued. Trump’s spokesman Steven Cheung said the Office of National Intelligence informed Trump of the threats on Tuesday. Iran’s goal is to destabilize the United States and sow chaos, Cheung said, citing US intelligence.
