Iran’s imposition of “sanctions” on dozens of Americans amounts to an assassination threat against members of former President Donald Trump’s administration, according to a senior U.S. official who threatened “severe consequences” for any harm done to them.

“Make no mistake: the United States of America will protect and defend its citizens,” White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan said Sunday. “This includes those serving the United States now and those who formerly served.”

Iranian officials have made explicit their interest in killing one of the people involved in the U.S. strike that killed Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Gen. Qassem Soleimani. The regime observed the second anniversary of his death last week, which occasioned a flurry of truculent rhetoric and the unveiling of economic sanctions by Iran that U.S. observers take as a proxy for a threat of violence.

“Wherever it is needed, we will provide for the basis of revenge against the Americans from within their houses and by people by their side without us being present,” IRGC Quds Force Commander Sardar Esmail Qaani said in remarks published by Iranian media. “If wise people in America are found who deal with those who committed the atrocity of assassinating Commander Soleimani, this action will be much less burdensome for America than if the offspring of the Resistance Front, who know no bounds, to themselves go and take this revenge.”

This type of threat is quite normal especially from Iran.

What is the saddest thing is Jake Sullivan making it news with his false bravado of 'look, we don't want Trump assassinated' We aren't that rotten----

Or are they?

I can't tell if it is a plain political troll, or a patsy named because they want Trump JFKed-Or they just enjoy saying the two arse word with Trump's name?

Because there have been threats like this towards every President.

It is extremely tacky to publicize it and make news with it.

It was a "you know we're the only thing keeping you safe from Iranian assassins so you better fall in line" attempt. They fail to see that only works on spineless Republicans.

Sounds like American spooks are about to assassinate a bunch of Trumpers and blame it on Iran.

How stupid do they think we are? Will one fricking Bret from Fox News report how this is a serious break from the norm for the WH to publicize this as a veiled threat?

Do they think anyone believes this, okay yeah we hate Trump SO BAD but we won't let Iran get you for taking out some scumbag we used to run as our geo=political Iran bagman of the swamp?

The fearmongering over Iran is ridiculous. If Trump is assassinated, we'll know who did it and it won't be Muslims.

It's the Brandon's plotting to blame the Iranians for their attach on Trump.

It's exactly their playbook.

If you are the current National Security Advisor and in an interview asked "Do you have any information about a plot to kill former Trump officials? What would your administration do if such an attack took place?"...

How else could he answer the question besides the way he did?

"Nah, no threat, no biggie, yawn, next question please.."

Or

"Well we are all hoping that such an attack happens"

Or

"Huh? Hadn't heard about that, was out of the office for the holidays, my bad."

Or

"We have heard about this, oh boy, I gotta admit, we really are scared about this, anybody got any ideas?"

I mean...what else could he say but what he said?

100% correct.

Trump and Co. will definitely be on full alert. but they already know what these wicked swampdwellers are about.
