The president of the Islamic Republic of Iran (a regime that is conspiring to harm Donald Trump’s campaign and his life according to the US government) has Secret Service protection.
Only in America.

The President of the Islamic Republic of Iran has arrived in New York for the first time in his new role.

Over the course of his visit, Masoud Pezeshkian will be surrounded by dozens of US Secret Service Agents and in a motorcade of at least 12 vehicles.

In addition, Secret Service tactical, hazmat, and technical support teams will be deployed as part of the protection he will receive as long as he's on US soil.

Leaders from US allies France, Germany, and the UK also receive a similar level of protection.

While Pezeshkian will be enveloped in a significant security bubble thanks to American taxpayers, US citizens who are targets of his regime look over their shoulders on a daily basis.

Dozens of US Secret Service agents will be ready to take a bullet for a man whose regime has authorized and funded operations against innocent US citizens on American soil.

To be clear, all of this protection is required under US law and the United States signed a headquarters agreement with the UN that requires it to give access to foreign leaders and diplomats.

But, in 2022 I wrote about the limits of that agreement and how the United States can do much more to curtail this access.

Ali acknowledges our obligation to protect all foreign leaders, no matter how despicable:

US law requires the Secret Service to protect foreign heads of state and heads of government while in the United States. International law also requires the US government to protect embassies, consulates, foreign dignitaries, and diplomats.  And whether it's the law or not, the United States should always protect visiting heads of state and top government leaders. If any of them were to be assassinated or injured, it would be a significant diplomatic and security incident that would put American government leaders at risk in the future.

So how will that law set with what is already in place here?
Are you seriously suggesting that SS protection will be extended here as well when we have a bounty on the man?

GOP rep to set $100 million reward for arrest and conviction of Venezuela's Maduro
Argentina court already has issued order for dictator's apprehension
By Andrew Powell
September 25, 2024

Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., has introduced a bill that will give a $100 million reward for the arrest and conviction of Venezuela's President Nicolas Maduro.

The legislation increases the maximum reward amount from $15 million to a maximum of $100 million for information leading to the arrest and conviction of Maduro. To fund the reward, the federal government will be using Maduro's already seized assets.

Biden will protect the president of Iran. Let's hope he does the same for Netanyahu.

Democrats make sure our enemies are safe and secure for fanatical foreign enemies here.  For Trump here and Americans in Aghanistan, they can expect abandonment!  Fools and traitors love them for it, and give them their votes.

Visiting here to get away from the purge going on 'over there'? Knowing the USA will be responsible for his protection? Or just getting clear while the heads of the theocracy hide and hope the Mossad doesn't know where they are?
There are good people in Iran, people who aren't even Muslim.
Their power is marginal. Eliminate the radical theocratic element, and the nation would be same again.
