US campaign - Media: Secret Service strengthened Trump's protection due to Iran
The Secret Service, according to consistent media reports in the past weeks, has strengthened security measures for the former Republican president Donald Trump. This is due to threats from Iran, reportedly stated CNN and MSNBC. The broadcasters referred to anonymous sources familiar with the matter.
American security agencies are said to have received information about a plot and therefore increased protection, it was reported. However, there is no evidence that the shooting incident on Saturday, when Trump was injured by a bullet in the ear, was related to this.
The agency did not confirm or deny the reports. A spokesperson explained that the Secret Service receives new information about threats regularly and reacts to them, but cannot comment on specific threats.
The United States of America has been vigilant about potential threats, with the Secret Service enhancing security measures for former President Donald Trump due to concerns from international sources, notably Iran. Although the election period and US campaign were filled with political tension, there's no concrete evidence linking the recent shooting incident involving Trump to these security measures. Emerging parties have expressed their concerns about the safety of prominent political figures in the country.
