The United States has accused Iran of attempting to assassinate President Donald Trump. US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said that a unit linked to Iran tried to carry out the attack, but the attempt was stopped by American forces. He also said that the leader of the group involved in the plot was killed by US troops. This statement came during a press conference held yesterday amid rising tensions in the Middle East. According to Hegseth, more than a thousand people have been killed in Iran following recent military strikes carried out by the United States and Israel. In response, Iranian forces have been targeting US military bases located in several Middle Eastern countries. The US defense secretary also accused Iran of not acting honestly during negotiations and using the time to plan attacks. He said President Trump took strong steps to protect America’s security and claimed that Iran’s nuclear and military infrastructure had been severely damaged during the conflict.
