Iran reportedly gave the White House its promise that it will not attempt to kill Donald Trump just weeks before the Justice Department charged a murder-for-hire man in a scheme to kill the former president.
In an unusual assurance to the Biden administration last month, Iran promised it would not assassinate Donald Trump in a secret exchange intended to ease tensions, U.S. officials told the Wall Street Journal, according to a Friday report.
The assurances reportedly came in a written message to the administration on Oct. 14, 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. »
The Department of Justice last week outlined allegations levied at Tehran that detailed a plot by an Iranian agent to assassinate the former president from the campaign trail.
