Secret Service Aware of Trump Threat on Iranian State TV

Iranian state TV aired footage from the July 2024 Butler shooting with captions threatening Trump amid rising tensions and a crackdown killing over 2,000 protesters, officials said.

  • IRINN aired footage of the July 13, 2024 Butler shooting with the caption `This time, it won't miss.`
  • Rising tensions tied to long-standing grievances intensified after the U.S. killing of Qassem Soleimani and amid the Islamic Republic of Iran’s deadly crackdown on protests starting Dec. 28.
  • Translations published by MEMRI show Hassan Rahimpour-Azghadi urged capturing Trump and referenced arson, gunning down, and car-ramming as permissible attacks.
  • When reached for comment, the U.S. Secret Service told the Washington Examiner it was `aware` of the threat but declined to discuss intelligence, calling it another example of the Iranian regime's repeated threats.
  • An Iranian official said earlier this week about 2,000 people died in protests, HRANA verified 2,677 deaths, and Iran International estimated at least 12,000 amid an internet blackout since last Thursday.
