Ricketts on Iran’s Threats Against President Trump: “These Provocations Demand a Strong Response”

September 25, 2024

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator Pete Ricketts (R-NE) issued the following statement in response to news that the Trump campaign had been briefed on “real and specific threats from Iran to assassinate him.”

“While Iran’s President and Foreign Minister spew lies at the United Nations, the Iranian regime works to assassinate former President Trump and meddle in our election. They chant ‘death to America’ and fund global terrorism. These provocations demand a strong response, but the Biden-Harris administration has done nothing. They have an appeasement-first policy. We need strong leadership, not weakness.”
