Iranian President Says Country Did Not Plot To Kill Trump Despite DOJ Charges
HuffPost
“Iran has never attempted to nor does it plan to assassinate anyone,” President Masoud Pezeshkian told NBC.
Iran’s president said the country has never plotted to kill President-elect Donald Trump in a new interview on Tuesday, just months after the U.S. Department of Justice charged an Iranian man with an alleged “murder-for-hire” scheme.
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian spoke with NBC News just over a week before Trump’s inauguration for a second term. His first featured a frosty and combative relationship with Tehran that included the end of the Iran nuclear deal and the assassination of a key military figure, Maj. General Qassim Suleimani.
“This is another one of those schemes that Israel and other countries are designing to promote Iranophobia,” Pezeshkian told host Lester Holt via an interpreter. “Iran has never attempted to, nor does it plan to assassinate anyone. At least as far as I know.”
“You’re saying there was never an Iranian plot to kill Donald Trump?” Holt went on.
“None whatsoever,” Pezeshkian replied.
