Iran’s Permanent Mission to the UN stated that Trump is a criminal who ordered the assassination of Iranian General Qasem Soleimani. Iran argues that Trump should be tried and punished. In addition, Iran has preferred legal means to ensure justice.
The statement emphasized that assertion that US officials had obtained intelligence that Iran would attempt to assassinate former President Trump were baseless and malicious. It was stated that the US Secret Service had taken additional security measures to protect Trump in recent weeks.
