According to a CNN report, Iran had hatched a plot to assassinate the former US president.
Iran has described as “baseless and malicious” the information reported earlier by CNN that US intelligence agencies were informed in the past weeks of an Iranian plot to assassinate former President Donald Trump.
The CNN report points out that there is no indication that the 20-year-old attacker at Trump’s campaign speech in Pennsylvania was connected to the plan.
The White House declined to comment, but a spokesman for the Security Council recalled that the Iranian threats against the former president and officials of his administration date back years and are related to Tehran’s desire to avenge the killing of General Soleimani in January 2020.
“For the Islamic Republic of Iran, Trump is a criminal who must be prosecuted and convicted in a court of law for ordering the killing of General Soleimani,” the Iranian delegation to the UN said in a statement to Reuters news agency. He added that Iran “has chosen the legal route” to hold Donald Trump accountable.
