‘Won’t Miss’: Iran’s Chilling Trump Assassination Threat
Iran State TV aired a threatening caption with President Trump's image from the July 13 assassination attempt amid rising US-Iran tensions and deadly protests.
- Overnight, Iran state television broadcast an apparent threat to President Donald Trump, with journalist Amichai Stein and Middle East expert Emily Schrader sharing screenshots on social media.
- The image was taken moments after the July 13, 2024 assassination attempt at a Butler, Pennsylvania rally where Thomas Crooks opened fire, killing firefighter Corey Comperatore and being fatally shot by Secret Service.
- The broadcaster ran the image with an explicit caption reading `This time, the bullet won't miss` on a photo of the President led by Secret Service, while Emily Schrader said `Islamic Republic State TV just crossed a red line`.
- The White House has not yet commented on the broadcast even as US officials have been weighing military options and recently moved personnel and assets with the United Kingdom from a base in Qatar.
- Tensions have escalated in recent weeks as Iranian civilian protesters approach three weeks of unrest and human rights groups suggest around 2,000 people have been killed.
