Reports of alleged plans for an assassination attempt on the youngest son of US President Donald Trump are, according to Iranian security chief Mohsen Resai, false. Mr. Resai made these claims in an interview with the Lebanese television station Al-Manar. The US Secret Service had declared on Tuesday that they had been shown a video by the state-run Iranian television purportedly depicting a possible assassination attempt on Barron Trump.
In a subsequent interview, Mr. Trump stated he believed that Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mohammad Javad Chamenei was "very seriously injured" but not dead. Ayatollah Chamenei became the Supreme Leader of Iran after his father, Ayatollah Ali Chamenei, was killed at the beginning of the war. The younger Chamenei has not been seen in public since then.
The United States has announced plans to economically isolate Iran with new sanctions that will target Iran's trading partners as well. US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said on Monday that anyone doing business with Iran would feel the full force of US power, aiming to cut off all sources of revenue for Iran. When asked if this would include China, which is the main buyer of Iranian oil, Mr. Mnuchin only said that no one should test Washington's resolve.
