‘Netanyahu has panicked Trump’: Iran security chief denies plot to kill US President's son Barron Trump
Major General Rezaei claimed that if Iran decided to carry out an assassination, "nothing would prevent" the country from doing so.
Iran's security chief, Mohsen Rezaei, has vehemently denied reports of an alleged plot to assassinate US President Donald Trump's son, Barron Trump. In an interview with Lebanon's Al Manar TV, Rezaei accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of spreading false information to scare Trump and disrupt his decision-making. According to Rezaei, the Israeli Prime Minister's false claims caused Trump to act nervously, causing him to "move around like a food truck worker."
Rezaei described the reports as "major lies" that Netanyahu tricked Trump with. A three-minute video broadcast by Iranian state TV allegedly discussed a potential plot to assassinate Barron Trump, claiming he was being monitored and offering a $10 million bounty for his killing. Rezaei stated that if Iran decided to carry out an assassination, nothing would prevent them from doing so.
He threatened to "send Netanyahu to hell" and warned of severe consequences if the blockade continues, calling any renewed conflict with Israel a "different phase of the confrontation."
