White House Refuses To Say If Iran Assassinating Trump Would Constitute An Act Of War
The Biden Harris administration is resisting demands by Republicans to issue a statement warning Iran that any attempt to assassinate Donald Trump would constitute an act of war.
As we have highlighted, US intelligence has briefed Trump’s team about plots to kill him organised by the Iranian regime.
Now Fox News reports that “The White House declined to comment” on the specific demands by Republicans, and instead referred to “a statement on the recent Iranian threats to Trump’s life.”
National Security Council spokesperson Sean Savitt said “We consider this a national and homeland security matter of the highest priority, and we strongly condemn Iran for these brazen threats.”
The White House is hoping they get to Trump before Iran does.

Why wouldn’t the sitting president give a hostile regime a warning that killing a former US leader would lead to the worst consequences for them?
Vague responses can be detrimental. The White House must provide clear, decisive messaging to safeguard national interests and global stability.

This isn't about politics; it's about national security and human life.
There shouldn’t be any hesitation or ambiguity over this.
The fact that Biden is hesitant to issue a firm warning to Iran about threatening Trump is concerning. It shows weakness when strong leadership is needed. Any threat against a former president should be met with absolute clarity—no room for ambiguity.

It’s not a complex matter.
Iran killing any American on American soil or representing America abroad should be an Act of War, Period!

This shouldn’t be hard https://t.co/MdBCJcpxzf
What’s the real reason?
I mean to be fair, they’re trying to kill Trump too. https://t.co/VjEdoWwwmR

As we highlighted earlier, there are also now claims that a plot to kill Trump on his plane using surface to air missiles, possibly of Iranian origin, has been uncovered.
Multiple sources have said that three separate ‘kill teams’ inside the US intend to use the weapons that have been smuggled across the border.
