The White House is closely monitoring the threat posed by Iran to former President Donald Trump and members of his administration following a recent assassination attempt. According to National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby, the threat from Iran, particularly towards officials of the former administration, has been under close scrutiny for the past three years. This monitoring is linked to the strike that killed Iranian General Soleimani and Iran's desire for retribution.
Recent intelligence obtained by US authorities from a human source revealed a plot by Iran to assassinate Trump. This development prompted the Secret Service to enhance security measures around the former president. However, there is no evidence linking Thomas Matthew Crooks, the individual who attempted to assassinate Trump, to the Iranian plot.
