Although Iran’s state media has aired aggressive messages during tense periods in the past, there has been no official comment from the Iranian government or its security agencies suggesting involvement in any attack.
The assassination attempt mentioned in the broadcast refers to the July 13, 2024 incident in Butler, Pennsylvania. During a campaign rally, a gunman fired shots at Trump from a rooftop, injuring his ear. The shooter — identified by the FBI as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks — killed one person and injured several others before Secret Service snipers shot him dead.
