As the US continues its pressure on Iran over alleged assassination attempts targeting former President Donald Trump, Iran reportedly sent a letter to President Joe Biden’s administration last month. The letter assured that Iran would not pursue any plans to assassinate Trump, according to the Wall Street Journal. This development comes amid rising tensions and increased scrutiny over Iran's activities.

Iran responded to a US warning in October, assuring the Biden administration that it would not seek to assassinate Donald Trump. The message followed a private US letter sent to Tehran in September, which emphasised that any threat to Trump's life would be considered a top national security issue and an act of war. 

Iran has vowed revenge against former President Donald Trump for the 2020 drone strike that killed Qassem Soleimani. As a result, former Trump officials Mike Pompeo, John Bolton, and Brian Hook continue to receive Secret Service protection due to ongoing threats from Tehran. This situation underscores the heightened tensions and the continued risks posed to those involved in the strike.

Trump Survives Multiple Threats, Including Iranian-Assisted Plot

The Justice Department revealed that Iranian agents had plotted to assassinate Trump before the election, continuing a campaign against him. In August, a Pakistani man linked to Iran was charged with plotting to kill Trump. Additionally, a Secret Service sniper killed a gunman at a Trump rally in July, and another individual was arrested in September for a separate assassination plot, although investigators found no links to Iran in these cases.

Iran's Foreign Ministry dismissed Trump’s statements about Iranian assassination threats as election rhetoric. Despite this, President Biden ordered the Department of Defense to ensure Trump’s security, akin to protecting an acting head of state.
