Mohsen Rezaei, the Secretary of Iran's National Security Council, stated that in his view, Benjamin Netanyahu is attempting to influence U.S. President Donald Trump's decisions by 'intimidating' him. In a recent interview with Al-Manar, he mentioned that the security threat during Trump's visit to Turkey and the mention of a supposed Iranian plan to 'assassinate Baron Trump' were orchestrated by Netanyahu. This is the first official comment from an Iranian official implicitly denying any plans to assassinate Donald Trump or his family members.
