U.S. officials revealed Wednesday that Iran has made clear intentions to assassinate former President Donald Trump and other officials in retaliation for the 2020 killing of Iranian General Qasem Soleimani. The statement came after Trump's disclosure that he was briefed by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence on "real and specific threats" from Tehran. The Secret Service increased Trump's security in response to threats, which Trump referenced in a recent social media post. The Justice Department also charged a Pakistani national in August for plotting to kill a U.S. official.
