Iran denies plotting to assassinate Trump’s son, calls claims fabricated
Iran’s top security official has dismissed reports of a plot to kill Donald Trump’s son, calling them fabricated propaganda.
Iran’s chief security official has rejected claims that his nation plotted to murder Donald Trump’s son, branding the reports as "fabricated propaganda." National security chief Mohsen Rezaei denied on television that Iran had any intention of assassinating Barron Trump, the former president’s grandson. Rezaei suggested these allegations were "big lies" spread by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to sway public opinion.
He added, "If we had decided to act, nothing would have stopped us." Following the assassination of Iran’s former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and his family at the start of the conflict in late February, Iranian media published threats against the Trump family. The US Secret Service has acknowledged being aware of Iranian state media broadcasting a video purportedly threatening Barron Trump’s life.
A Secret Service spokesperson stated, "The US Secret Service is aware of everything related to those we protect, and investigates anything that could be considered a threat to these individuals."
