"We consider this a national and homeland security matter of the highest priority, and we strongly condemn Iran for these brazen threats," National Security Council spokesperson Sean Savitt said.
According to Fox News, Biden has reportedly instructed to his National Security Council to signal to Iran an attempt on Trump's life will be seen by the United States as an act of war and will trigger a response. This also comes as the former president has sought higher military-grade protection.
The government has also gone to great lengths in order to protect those former Trump aides who have a target on their backs because of the drone strike on the Iranian terrorist leader. The Trump camp recently requested military aircraft that can target and shoot down missiles.
"We consider this a national and homeland security matter of the highest priority, and we strongly condemn Iran for these brazen threats," National Security Council spokesperson Sean Savitt said of heightened threats against the GOP nominee. "We have ensured that appropriate agencies are continuously and promptly providing the former president’s security detail with evolving threat information. Additionally, President Biden has reiterated his directive that the United States Secret Service should receive every resource, capability and protective measure required to address those evolving threats to the former president."
When the White House was pressed last month about the issue by Fox News, Biden did not comment on whether Iran making an attempt on Trump's life would be considered an act of war. Trump as well as the aides involved in the Soleimani killing have gotten death threats, and Iran hacked the Trump campaign earlier in the summer, and subsequently tried to send it to the Biden-Harris campaign.
Trump survived one assassination attempt on July 13, when Thomas Matthew Crooks was able to take a sniper's position on the roof of a nearby building in order to shoot the GOP nominee. Crooks missed the kill shot by a fraction of an inch, hitting him in the ear. A second attempt on Trump's life occurred when he was playing golf on his course in West Palm Beach. Ryan Routh reportedly waited for nearly 12 hours to target the president. An AK-47-style weapon was found at the scene where he fled.
