This Sunday, July 13, marks the one-year anniversary of the assassination attempt on President Donald J. Trump during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, a brazen act that stunned the nation and led to a sweeping review of presidential security, including scrutiny of DEI hiring practices at the Secret Service.
In the year since the attempt, major changes have taken place within the Secret Service, including the suspension of six agents and the creation of a bipartisan congressional task force to investigate the failures that allowed the gunman to breach security. The task force’s final report concluded that the attempt on Trump’s life was “preventable” and issued 46 recommendations aimed at preventing future lapses.
But as the nation reflects on that near-tragedy, a new threat has emerged from a foreign adversary. In an interview broadcast on Iranian state television, Javad Larijani, a senior adviser to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, made the suggestion that Trump could be assassinated while relaxing at his Florida estate, Mar-a-Lago.
“Trump has done something so that he can no longer sunbathe in Mar-a-Lago,” Larijani said. “As he lies there with his stomach to the sun, a small drone might hit him in the navel. It’s very simple.” He made the comment while laughing, according to Iran International, a London-based outlet that monitors developments inside the Islamic Republic.
The threat came in the wake of heightened tensions following US strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities on June 21, and appears to reflect Iran’s intent to retaliate not only through conventional means but also by targeting high-profile American figures. U.S. intelligence agencies have assessed the threat as credible enough to warrant renewed counterterrorism alerts nationwide.
A website calling itself Blood Pact claims to have raised over $40 million for “retribution against those who mock and threaten Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.” The site appears to be soliciting donations from across the region in support of what it calls “justice operations.”
Federal law enforcement agencies, including the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI, have issued new bulletins to state leaders and federal installations, warning of a heightened risk of asymmetric retaliation from Iranian-backed actors. Intelligence analysts say that while Larijani’s statement may be rhetorical posturing, it reflects the regime’s increasingly aggressive stance and its willingness to encourage or even fund acts of terror abroad.
Public interest in the Butler shooting has been reignited recently: Despite the swift apprehension of the shooter, many questions remain about his motives, and some lawmakers continue to press for declassification of certain intelligence surrounding the attack.
For Trump supporters, Sunday will be a day of reflection and reliving the relief they felt when Trump dodged the bullet.
This is the same kind of BS we’ve seen from them for the past 45 years with their “Death to America” chants. If they pay the bounty to anybody after a successful assassination of an American POTUS, their entire nation becomes a smoking heap of death, and they know it.
You can bet that deep-state moles are working with them.
We see your attempted confluence s.d. between (still) unknown actors who carried out the attempted Butler assassination and a recent Iranian threat by their “senior adviser” (whatever that means). Maybe it was the Iranians, but I would take a hard look at the U.S. I.C. or Ukrainian elements first. But we know shockingly little about Butler. And that in itself is ridiculous.
An important article by sundance today.
“..and in the growing awareness of the American electorate, the President of the United States does not control the Intelligence Community. It is entirely possible for the US Intelligence Community to take America deeper toward war despite the President and people of America not wanting that to happen.”
