Iran’s efforts to assassinate Donald Trump and former senior officials in retaliation for the drone strike that killed Qassem Soleimani are more extensive and aggressive than previously believed, Politico reported Friday.
“This is extraordinarily serious,” Matt Olsen, the Department of Justice’s assistant attorney general for national security, told Politico. “Iran has made it very clear that they are determined to seek retaliation against former officials in connection with the Soleimani strike.”
Iran has not been hiding its intentions to assassinate Trump and those who oversaw his national security strategy since January 2020, when Trump ordered a drone strike that killed Soleimani, Iran’s most powerful military general, at an Iraqi airport.
