Iran has sent a message to America making it clear that it has no intention of assassinating newly elected President Donald Trump. According to the New York Times report, Iran had sent this message to America through a third party in October. Iran has also said that it is trying to reduce tensions with America.
According to the report, Iran sent this message after receiving a warning from America. In fact, the Biden administration had warned Iran in September that if there was any attempt to assassinate Trump, it would be considered an act of war. American officials alleged that Iran was plotting to assassinate Trump and several Trump administration officials.
Officials alleged that Iran wanted to avenge the 2020 drone strike by assassinating Trump. In fact, in 2020, America had killed Iran's military commander General Qasim Sulemani through a drone attack in Syria. This attack was carried out on the instructions of Trump.
Iranian General Qasim Suleimani used to carry out Iranian missions abroad. Soleimani was killed in an American airstrike in Baghdad.
Iran wants to adopt legal path According to the report, there was no mention of any Iranian official in the message sent to America, but Iranian officials told The New York Times that the message was from Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
It was said that America's killing of Soleimani was a criminal act, but to take revenge, Iran does not want to kill Donald Trump but wants to avenge Soleimani's death through international legal means.
In 2022, Iranian leader Khamenei shared an animated video of a drone attack on Trump on a golf course.
Iran has been threatening for many years The Biden administration had recently claimed that a conspiracy to assassinate Trump was hatched during the presidential election. An attempt was made to murder him twice. In July, a Pakistani named Asif Raza Merchant was caught in America.
Asif Merchant, 46, was accused of plotting to assassinate US leaders to avenge the killing of top Iranian Revolutionary Guards commander Qassem Soleimani in 2020. American officials claimed that he was acting at the behest of Iran.
Iran has also been accused of hacking Trump's election campaign and leaking sensitive information about newly elected Vice President J.D. Vance.
Elon Musk and Iranian Ambassador held a meeting
Iran says that on Monday, there was a meeting between Trump's close aide Elon Musk and Iranian Ambassador Amir Saeed Iravani at a secret place in New York. This meeting took place on Musk's request. This proves that not only the Democrats but also Trump's camp wants to avoid direct confrontation with Iran.
Iranians say that the purpose of this meeting is to reduce tensions between Iran and America during the Trump administration.
