Iran offered written assurances to the United States on October 14 that it is not seeking to assassinate former President Donald Trump or other Americans, according to American officials cited by the Wall Street Journal on Friday. The secret communication was a response to a private American warning issued in September, stressing that any attempt on Trump's life would be treated as an act of war. The exchange, involving secret messages between Tehran and Washington in recent weeks, aims to lower tensions between the two nations.
