U.S. Senator Pete Ricketts (R-NE) released a statement today addressing recent threats against former President Donald Trump from Iran. According to reports, the Trump campaign was briefed on "real and specific threats from Iran to assassinate him."
Ricketts expressed strong concerns about the Iranian regime's actions, stating, "While Iran’s President and Foreign Minister spew lies at the United Nations, the Iranian regime works to assassinate former President Trump and meddle in our election. They chant ‘death to America’ and fund global terrorism." He emphasized that these provocations require a robust response.
The senator criticized the current administration's approach, saying, "These provocations demand a strong response, but the Biden-Harris administration has done nothing. They have an appeasement-first policy. We need strong leadership, not weakness."
The statement comes amid heightened tensions between the U.S. and Iran.
