Trump says assassination attempts ‘may or may not involve Iran’

Donald Trump has claimed that the two attempts to assassinate him "may or may not involve Iran." Speaking at a rally in North Carolina on Wednesday, 25 September, the former president told attendees: "As you know, there have been two attempts on my life, that we know of, and they may or may not involve — but possibly do — Iran. "But I don't really know, can't be sure." His comments came after a federal grand jury in Florida charged Ryan Wesley Routh with attempting to assassinate Mr Trump. In July, a would-be assassin grazed the former president’s ear during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
