Big threats on my life by Iran. The entire U.S. Military is watching and waiting. Moves were already made by Iran that didn’t work out, but they will try again. Not a good situation for anyone. I am surrounded by more men, guns, and weapons than I have ever seen before. Thank you…

Trump emphasised his security measures, saying, "I am surrounded by more men, guns, and weapons than I have ever seen before."
He thanked the US Congress for their unanimous approval of increased funding for the Secret Service, noting, "Zero 'NO' Votes, strictly bipartisan." Trump remarked on the collaborative efforts between parties, declaring, "An attack on a former President is a Death Wish for the attacker!"
According to his campaign, Trump was briefed on Tuesday about "real and specific threats" from Iran aimed at assassinating him.
Steven Cheung, the Trump Campaign Communications Director, indicated that Iran's objective to kill Trump is part of the Islamic Republic’s strategy to "destabilize and sow chaos in the United States."
Cheung added, "Intelligence officials have identified that these continued and coordinated attacks have heightened in the past few months, and law enforcement officials across all agencies are working to ensure President Trump is protected and the election is free from interference."
He concluded, "Make no mistake, the terror regime in Iran loves the weakness of Kamala Harris, and is terrified of the strength and resolve of President Trump. He will let nothing stop him or get in his way to fight for the American people and to Make America Great Again."
