President Biden quietly tasked his National Security Council to warn Iran that the US would view any Tehran-backed assassination attempts against former President Donald Trump as an act of war, according to a report.
Behind the scenes, the Harris-Biden administration has reportedly pressed Iran to halt its plottings against Trump and other former members of his administration amid elevated security threats from the US adversary.
“We consider this a national and homeland security matter of the highest priority, and we strongly condemn Iran for these brazen threats,” NSC spokesman Sean Savett said in a statement.
“Should Iran attack any of our citizens, including those who continue to serve the United States or those who formerly served, Iran will face severe consequences.” – Source
