Revelations have emerged that Iran promised President Joe Biden’s administration it would not assassinate former President Donald Trump.
Wall Street Journal, citing Fox News, reported that Iran made the unusual assurance to the Biden administration last month in a secret exchange intended to ease tensions.
The assurances reportedly came in a written message to the administration on October 14.
This was after the White House in September said it would take any attempt on Trump’s life as a serious national security that would reportedly “be treated as an act of war.”
Media Talk Africa reported that the US last week outlined allegations levied at Tehran, detailing a plot by an Iranian agent to assassinate Trump from the campaign trail.
The allegations came after a Pakistani man was charged by prosecutors with plotting to kill Trump.
Iran had long said it would seek revenge for the 2020 killing of its top military commander and chief of Iran’s Quds Force, Qassem Soleimani under Trump.
