The United States intelligence has alerted former President Donald Trump to potential assassination threats from Iran, according to a statement from his campaign team.

The Republican presidential candidate was briefed on “real and specific threats from Iran to assassinate him in an effort to destabilize and sow chaos in the United States.” Trump took to his X (formerly Twitter) account to acknowledge the “big threats on my life by Iran,” stating, “Moves were already made by Iran that didn’t work out, but they will try again.” He characterized an attack on him as a “death wish for the attacker,” and expressed gratitude to Congress for approving additional funding for the Secret Service.

According to Steven Cheung, the campaign’s communications director, intelligence officials have noted an increase in coordinated attacks over the past few months. He emphasized that law enforcement across various agencies is working to ensure Trump’s safety and maintain a free election process.

The Trump campaign did not provide further details on the nature of the threats, and it remains unclear whether these claims refer to new information or were previously reported. The Iranian government has not responded to requests for comment, but has historically denied U.S. allegations of interference in American affairs.

This warning follows an incident on July 13, when Trump survived an assassination attempt during a rally in Pennsylvania, resulting in his injury and the death of another individual. The motive for that shooting is still under investigation.

Shortly after the incident, reports emerged indicating that U.S. officials had received intelligence about a possible Iranian plot against Trump. Iranian officials dismissed these claims as “malicious.”

In a related statement on his Truth Social platform, Trump warned, “If they do ‘assassinate President Trump,’ which is always a possibility, I hope that America obliterates Iran, and wipes it off the face of the earth. If that does not happen, American leaders will be considered ‘gutless’ cowards!”

On September 15, a Secret Service agent spotted a rifle pointed through a fence at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, prompting the agent to open fire while Trump was golfing. U.S. prosecutors have since charged Ryan Wesley Routh, arrested near the golf course, with the attempted assassination of a presidential candidate; however, there is no indication of Iranian involvement in either incident.
