Iran 'Strongly Rejects' Any Involvement In Donald Trump's Assassination Attempt

The Islamic Republic of Iran has refuted reports of planning an assassination attempt on Donald Trump, the leading Republican presidential candidate.

However, Tehran maintains that Trump would still be held accountable for the killing of one of its top generals.

According to CNN, US authorities received intelligence suggesting a potential plot by Iran to target Trump, leading the Secret Service to enhance security measures around the former president.

Despite Iran's denial, the incident has heightened tensions and security concerns surrounding Trump's presidential campaign.

This did not stop a gunman, later identified as Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, from opening fire on Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday.

The Republican narrowly survived the assassination attempt, which killed one man and injured two others. The assailant was killed by Trump’s security detail.

CNN sources stressed that there was no indication that Crooks was in any way connected to the alleged Iranian plot.

On Wednesday, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kanaani pushed back against the report, saying Tehran “strongly rejects any involvement in the recent armed attack on Trump or claims about Iran’s intention for such an action,” and adding that it considers “such allegations to have malicious political motives and objectives.”

At the same time, Kanaani stated that Iran “is determined to pursue legal action against Trump for his direct role in the crime of assassinating General Qassem Soleimani” in 2020.

Soleimani was the commander of the Quds Force, a division of the elite Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps responsible for conducting clandestine operations.

While in office, Trump insisted that he had ordered Soleimani to be killed as he “was plotting imminent and sinister attacks on American diplomats and military personnel.”

The strike against the senior Iranian commander sharply escalated already tense relations between Washington and Tehran, with the latter branding the attack an “act of international terrorism” and vowing revenge.

Trump has long been known for his hawkish stance on Iran, spearheading Washington’s unilateral withdrawal from a nuclear deal with Tehran and several world powers in 2018, arguing that the landmark agreement did not do enough to prevent Iran from obtaining atomic weapons.

Tehran has maintained it does not seek to produce nuclear weapons, insisting it needs nuclear energy for peaceful purposes.

We all know it wasn't Iran.

The fear of Trump Presidency is the beginning of wisdom for Iran.
Iran has still not forgotten how Trump ordered the drone strike that killed their numer 1 General and how Trump withheld Iranian funds and sanctioned Iranian Crude oil.

Divine Intervention


A.F. Branco Cartoon – Many say it had to be divine intervention that protected President Trump on the day he was nearly assassinated. A half of an inch and the hope of him being our next president would have been over in a flash.

Any thinking person who saw where the assassin was knows this is the truth. Zero smart people believe the BS about a sloped roof. A 20-year-old, psychotic kid managed to stay up there just fine. Are you telling me a secret service agent or police officer can't do what an untrained young adult managed?

Secret Service vs Trump


A.F. Branco Cartoon – Why all the holes in the Secret Service security around Trump? Is the SS leadership willing accomplices in the effort to remove Trump by any means possible? The Secret Service on the ground protecting Trump has been calling for beefed-up resources and manpower but has fallen on deaf and blind leadership despite numerous threats directed at Trump. In fact, S.S. leadership patted themselves on the back and gave themselves a raise.
