Staff Reports
An explosive CNN report revealed that United States authorities were made aware of a chilling Iranian scheme to assassinate former President Donald Trump. The intel, received from a human source, prompted the Secret Service to bolster security around Trump in recent weeks. Shockingly, there seems to be no direct link between the thwarted Iranian plot and the attempted assassination by 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks at a rally in Pennsylvania.
Questions linger about whether the Trump campaign was informed of this imminent threat from Iran. While the campaign opted not to comment specifically on President Trump’s security arrangements, the Secret Service confirmed beefing up protective measures for the former Commander-in-Chief.

Iran’s vendetta following the elimination of Qasem Soleimani by the U.S. military under Trump’s leadership has kept former administration officials, including national security personnel, under constant security watch. Disturbingly, reports have surfaced of Iranian-backed plots targeting key figures like John Bolton and Mike Pompeo, indicating a pattern of retaliatory attacks.
The gravity of the situation has raised concerns about security protocols and potential oversights that put the safety of the former president at risk. With Congress gearing up for investigations into the assassination attempt, it’s clear that accountability needs to be demanded from the Secret Service, Homeland Security, and other agencies involved in safeguarding our leaders.
