Iran reportedly gave the White House its promise that it will not attempt to kill Donald Trump just weeks before the Justice Department charged a murder-for-hire man in a scheme to kill the former president.
In an unusual assurance to the Biden administration last month, Iran promised it would not assassinate Donald Trump in a secret exchange intended to ease tensions, U.S. officials told the Wall Street Journal, according to a Friday report. The assurances reportedly came in a written message to the administration on Oct. 14, after the White House in September said it would take any attempt on Trump’s life as a serious national security that would reportedly 'be treated as an act of war.
The Department of Justice last week outlined allegations levied at Tehran that detailed a plot by an Iranian agent to assassinate the former president from the campaign trail. The allegations came after a Pakistani man involved in an Iranian murder-for-hire scheme was charged by federal prosecutors in August with plotting to kill Trump. Fox News Digital could not immediately reach the White House for comment on how it will act following the department’s charges last week.
Soleimani has since been dubbed a hero and a martyr. In response to the news that Iran has since pledged not to assassinate the now president-elect, the Permanent Mission of the Islamic Republic of Iran to the United Nations told Fox News Digital, 'We do not issue public statements on the details of official messages exchanged between the two countries.
