Report: Iran provided US written assurance last month that it wouldn’t assassinate Trump

The Wall Street Journal reports that Iran provided a written assurance to the Biden administration last month that it would not seek to assassinate then-GOP nominee Donald Trump.

The October 14 message was aimed at easing tensions between Tehran and Washington ahead of Trump’s potential return.

The message was in response to a written warning that the US sent Iran in September that Washington would consider an attempt on Trump’s life as an act of war.

Last week, US prosecutors announced charges in an alleged Iranian plot to assassinate Trump and a prominent dissident Iranian-American journalist.
