The Iranian regime is trying to assassinate former US President Donald Trump by November 5, the US presidential election day, an expert said. In the assessments of US allies across the Middle East, the Iranian regime has made clear it wants to rid itself of Trump, said Dr Walid Phares.Iran has in the past vowed to avenge the killing of IRGC head Qassem Soleimani whose assassination in Baghdad was ordered by Trump. Iran’s supreme leader has publicly said Trump was in agencies’ crosshairs, promising “revenge on the orderer and killer of Qassem Soleimani.”Iran’s Islamic regime believes Trump’s return to the White House will threaten Tehran’s status as a regional Middle East powerhouse, Phares said. Trump has repeatedly promised that if elected, he will stop Iran’s nuclear weapons programme and defund it with crippling sanctions.
