MINT HILL, N.C.—Former President Donald Trump said on Sept. 25 that if he were in the Oval Office, he would threaten to blow Iran “to smithereens” over threats made to the Republican nominee.
His remarks came after the Office of the Director of National Intelligence briefed the Trump campaign on Sept. 24 on “real and specific” threats from Iran to “assassinate [Trump] in an effort to destabilize and sow chaos in the United States,” according to the campaign.
