The US Secret Service increased security around former President Donald Trump due to intelligence revealing an Iranian plot to assassinate him. This threat was separate from the recent attempt on his life at a rally in Pennsylvania. There is no known connection between the Iranian plot and the individual who shot at Trump during the rally, as sniper teams swiftly neutralized the attacker. The Secret Service had been monitoring threats since the killing of Iran's Soleimani in 2020. The information was shared with the Trump campaign, emphasizing the need for heightened security measures. The US authorities are investigating the Iranian plot independently from the rally shooting incident, maintaining vigilance to ensure the safety of public figures.
