Nov 9, 2024, 04:16 PM

Following the unsealing of charges related to an alleged assassination plot against former President Donald Trump, Iranian officials have categorically denied any involvement. The charges were made public shortly after Trump's recent electoral victory over Democrat Kamala Harris. An Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman labeled the allegations as 'completely baseless.' Iran's Foreign Minister further asserted that the country is not pursuing nuclear weapons and emphasized the need for mutual respect in U.S.-Iran relations. Despite the denials, U.S. federal officials have flagged ongoing Iranian efforts to target American government officials, including Trump, on U.S. soil. Iranian American human rights activists have expressed defiance in the face of these alleged plots against them and Trump.
