US President Joe Biden warned Iran of the consequences in case of an assassination attempt on Donald Trump or former US officials. He noted that any assassination attempts would be considered an act of war, reports The Washington Post.

US National Security Council spokesman Sean Savett said that Washington had been monitoring Iranian threats against Trump for many years, starting when he was president.

The United States has warned Iran of serious consequences in the event of an assassination attempt on Trump and former officials. We are talking about former National Security Advisor John Bolton, former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, and the Trump administration's special representative for Iran, Brian Hook. The latter two are now under government protection.

“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,” Savett said.

According to a senior administration official, Biden sent a message “to the highest levels” of the Iranian government, warning them to stop plotting against Trump and former US officials.

According to the newspaper, Biden ordered the National Security Council to warn Iran to stop threats, adding that the United States would consider any attempts on Trump's life as an act of war.

I know there's 2k comments but I'm gonna drop mine in anyway because it's important. 1lurer is Armenian state owned news that have a strong pro-government and Russia bias due to Russia being a key ally to Armenia.

You should not be taking news about the US from the Armenian state. The article provies no quotes, no sources and no links. There are no reputable, unbiased sources for these supposed statements. I'm not saying it's misinformation but you should all be a hell of a lot more careful with what sources you take information from.

I despise trump deeply, but an attempt to assassinate a former president is nothing short of a declaration of war, period.
