Trump’s campaign team says there are “real and concrete threats” from Iran to assassinate Trump. The Republican addressed the issue in a campaign speech.
“But right now we don’t have that leadership, or the necessary people, the necessary leaders,” Trump continued. Trump’s spokesman Steven Cheung said the Office of National Intelligence informed Trump of the threats on Tuesday. Iran’s goal is to destabilize the United States and sow chaos, Cheung said, citing US intelligence.
