White House worried Iran is plotting assassination attempts against Trump administration officials
Washington Examiner, Jan 9, 2022

Iran’s imposition of “sanctions” on dozens of Americans amounts to an assassination threat against members of former President Donald Trump’s administration, according to a senior U.S. official who threatened “severe consequences” for any harm done to them.

“Make no mistake: the United States of America will protect and defend its citizens,” White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan said Sunday. “This includes those serving the United States now and those who formerly served.”

Iranian officials have made explicit their interest in killing one of the people involved in the U.S. strike that killed Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Gen. Qassem Soleimani. The regime observed the second anniversary of his death last week, which occasioned a flurry of truculent rhetoric and the unveiling of economic sanctions by Iran that U.S. observers take as a proxy for a threat of violence.

“Make no mistake: the United States of America will protect and defend its citizens"

Since when?
Does this mean we are going to close the border and stop all of the drugs, human and terrorist trafficking?  I didn't think so..

BINGO the truth spoken.!

"Worried", or "hopeful"?

The only reason that these people in the white hut are concerned is because they're afraid if the terrorists are successful it will throw public support to the republicans in the election, otherwise they would just break open the champagne and celebrate Trump or one of his peoples death.

Hell, Joe Skeezy and his CIA swamp minions are probably paying the Iranians to do it.

Obama and Biden have been quite friendly with MiddleEast tyrants and radicals, Afghanistan being quite recent, and pumping Iran and Muslim terrorists nations full of our technology and money was not much longer ago.  Like Jimma peanut Carter, odd how often poor enemies wax most bold when our democrats, often their outspoken allies, are in power.  Maybe this clueless denial thing isn't going to work out, eh?
