Increased Security Measures for Trump Amidst Reports of Iranian Assassination Plot

Recent reports suggest that the Secret Service had already heightened security measures for former US President Donald Trump in response to an alleged Iranian assassination plot. The Secret Service received information about the planned attack and subsequently increased Trump's protection.

However, neither the FBI nor other US authorities have confirmed or denied the reports. Iran has described the allegations as baseless and malicious, stating that it would only respond to the assassination of Qasem Soleimani through legal and judicial means.

Despite warnings and increased security measures, an assassination attempt on Trump in Pennsylvania could not be prevented, although the shooter had no foreign connections. The Secret Service also warned Trump's campaign team about outdoor rallies.

President Joe Biden's administration has been informed about the Iranian threat and has ordered a review of the Secret Service's response to the attack. The investigation aims to evaluate the security measures taken and identify any potential shortcomings.

The incident has sparked discussions within the Democratic Party, with some expressing concerns over the early nomination of Biden as the party's candidate for the November election. There is also discord among Democrats regarding the party's unity and chances of success with Biden as the candidate.

Meanwhile, former rival Nikki Haley has expressed her full support for Trump at the Republican convention. In addition to the Iranian plot, other developments include Trump's call to the widow of a slain firefighter and his controversial statements about vaccines during a phone call with Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

The Biden campaign has resumed its campaign ads after temporarily stopping them following the attack on Trump. The investigation into the attack will also evaluate the involvement of local police officers who were present in the building from which the shooter fired.
