Oct 11, 2024, 04:17 PM

Donald Trump’s campaign has made a formal request for military aircraft and vehicles to enhance his security during the final weeks of the presidential campaign. This request comes amid concerns of a potential threat from Iran, as campaign advisers received briefings indicating that Iran may still be plotting against him. While there is no direct evidence linking Iran to recent assassination attempts on Trump, the FBI has not dismissed the possibility. The request for military support reflects the heightened security measures being considered by the campaign in light of these threats.
