Intelligence officials have briefed the Trump campaign on Iranian threats. A look at what’s known

WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. officials briefed Donald Trump’s campaign this week on Iranian threats against the Republican presidential nominee, but the briefing centered on previously reported threats and not a new plot. In July, authorities boosted Trump’s security after linking a threat against Trump’s life to Iran. Iranian hackers also stole information from Trump’s campaign. U.S. officials say they have been tracking the threats for years and that they were prompted by Trump’s decision in 2020 to order the killing of a top Iranian general. Authorities have given no reason to believe two recent attempts on Trump’s life at a rally in Pennsylvania and a golf course in Florida have any connection to Iran.
