“President Trump was briefed earlier today by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence regarding real and specific threats from Iran to assassinate him in an effort to destabilize and sow chaos in the United States,” Cheung said.

According to the campaign, the officials told Trump these “coordinated attacks” have “heightened in the past few months” and government agencies are working to protect the Republican presidential nominee and the upcoming election.

Trump later posted on social media that there have been “big threats” on his life by Iran — saying while they didn’t work out, Iran “will try again.”

Big threats on my life by Iran. The entire U.S. Military is watching and waiting. Moves were already made by Iran that didn’t work out, but they will try again. Not a good situation for anyone. I am surrounded by more men, guns, and weapons than I have ever seen before. Thank you…
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 25, 2024

Iran’s permanent mission to the United Nations in New York has not responded to media requests for a statement.

This news comes after two assassination attempts on the former president, one in Butler, Pennsylvania and another at his Florida golf course. There has been no indication of Iranian involvement in either case.
