The US Secret Service boosted security around former President Donald Trump after picking up intelligence in recent weeks of an Iranian plot to assassinate him, people familiar with the matter said, adding that the threat was separate from the attempt on his life last weekend.
“We have been tracking Iranian threats against former Trump administration officials for years, dating back to the last administration,” National Security Council spokeswoman Adrienne Watson said in a statement Tuesday. “These threats arise from Iran’s desire to seek revenge” for killing Soleimani, she said.
Iran said in a social media posting on X that the reports of its involvement in a plot against Trump are baseless.
