Taghribnews (TNA) - Iran Rejects Claims on Assassination Plots in US

Iran’s Permanent Mission to the United Nations rejected accusations against the Islamic Republic regarding plotting political assassination attempts on American soil.

According to US media quoted from an official in the US Justice Department a probe by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) showed that several current and former government officials across the political spectrum, including Trump were the targets of this plot.

Iranian Mission in a statement said: "We have not received any reports on this matter from the US government. However, the alleged claim contradicts the Iranian government’s policy of legally prosecuting the murderer of General Soleimani.
"From the perspective of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Trump is a criminal who must be prosecuted and punished in a court of law for ordering the assassination of General Soleimani," the Permanent Mission of the Islamic Republic of Iran said in a statement. "Iran has chosen the legal path to bring him to justice."
IRGC Quds Force General, Lt. Gen. Qasem Soleimani who terminated ISIS terrorist group action across the Middle East, was assassinated in a US drone strike near Baghdad Airport upon a direct order from then President Trump.
Iran says it is still determined to “prosecute Trump” for his role in ordering the killing of Soleimani in 2020.
On Tuesday, CNN TV also claimed that American intelligence officials had discovered a possible Iranian plan to kill Trump, contradicting its report that earlier said it had nothing to do with the attempt to assassinate Trump by Thomas Matthew Crooks during the Pennsylvania rally.
On July 13, while delivering a speech at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania, Trump was evacuated off the stage by security after a young man named Thomas Matthew Crooks fired at him multiple times, injuring his right ear.
