Trump warns Iran after reports country is considering plot to assassinate US ambassador
President Trump took to Twitter late Monday and warned Iran that any strike against the U.S. would be met with a counterattack "1,000 times greater in magnitude."
Trump cited reports that said Tehran may be considering an assassination attempt on Lana Marks, the United States’ ambassador to South Africa. U.S. officials have been aware of threats against the ambassador since the spring, but intelligence suggests those threats have become more specific in recent weeks.
An intelligence source told Fox News the intel community is taking the threat against the ambassador seriously and believes the Iranian regime potentially has the ability to act on an assassination plot. She is just one of several U.S. officials that American intelligence agencies believe Tehran is considering for retaliation for the killing of Soleimani. Iran has denied the reports.
The Pentagon said Soleimani “was actively developing plans to attack American diplomats and service members in Iraq and throughout the region.” CLICK HERE FOR MORE ON OUR TOP STORY.
