Donald Trump: Iran threatens to kill me, will try again – I am surrounded by weapons and rifles

“Iran is seriously threatening my life” noted him with an posting on Truth Social, while charges were filed over the man who tried to shoot him in Florida. Donald Trump in a post on his social media ownership, indirectly referring to the two attempted homicides against him, wrote: “Iran has already taken measures that have not worked, but will try again (…) I am surrounded by more men, weapons and rifles than I have ever seen,” he added. On Tuesday (24.9.2024) the Republican election group said intelligence agencies warned the former president of “real and specific threats coming from Iran aimed at murdering him in order to destabilise and cause chaos in the US,” said Stephen Chang, Trump’s spokesman. According to him, “the intelligence officers have identified that ongoing and coordinated attacks have intensified over the past few months”. In July, shortly before Trump’s first assassination attempt, American media had reported that authorities had information available about an Iran conspiracy targeting the Republican candidate. “If they ‘kill President Trump’, which is still a possibility, I hope that America will wipe Iran out, erase it from Earth’s face. If this does not happen, the American leaders will be considered cowards ‘without courage’!, the 78-year-old Republican had then stressed. The American National Security Council reacted to this information by stressing that it has been monitoring “for years Iran’s threats against the former Trump government”, as Tehran has not concealed its desire to avenge the death of Kasem Soleymani who was killed in an American drone attack in Baghdad in 2020. At that time Trump was president of the US and gave the order for the murder of Soleymani. The investigation into the 13 July assassination attempt “has not identified links between the perpetrator and potential accomplices or conspirators from abroad or inside,” clarified the National Security Council. The entire American army is watching and waiting,” Trump wrote to Truth Social. Iran has rejected these accusations, describing them as ‘untenable’, ‘poor’ and appreciating that they have ‘partial political objectives’. Accusation of attempted manslaughter against Trump charged with attempted homicide yesterday Tuesday against the man who tried to shoot Donald Trump in Florida, in the second attempt against the life of the Republican candidate for the presidential election within two months, his group reported on “specific” threats against Iran’s origins. Trump himself today denounced the “serious threats” to his life coming from Iran. 58-year-old Ryan Ruth was arrested on September 15 at the time he was trying to escape, after members of the Secret Service saw him hiding behind a bush holding a semi-automatic rifle near the golf course where Trump was located. So far against Ruth charges had been filed for illegal possession of a gun by a person with a criminal record and for possession of a gun the serial number of which had been erased. To these charges was added yesterday of this attempted murder of a candidate in the presidential election, of gun ownership aimed at committing violent crime and of the attack on a federal agent, the US Justice Ministry said. The case was taken by federal judge Eileen Cannon, who in July issued a decision particularly favourable to Trump in a criminal case that concerns him. According to the FBI, which analyzed his phone communications data, Ruth was from August 18 in Florida, with his cell phone being traced many times near Trump’s golf course, Mar-a-Lago. Before being noticed and arrested, Ruth stayed nearly 12 hours on the spot. The former U.S. president escaped on July 13th from another assassination attempt. Then 20 – year – old Matthew Crooks fired at him during an election rally in Pennsylvania, wounding him in the right ear. Crooks fell dead from the Secret Service fire.
