Tucker Carlson Asks Iran’s President Point-Blank If They Have Tried To Kill Trump

🏢Daily Caller News Foundation co-founder Tucker Carlson asked Iranian President Masoud Pezeshhkian if his country had ever plotted an assassination attempt against President Donald Trump.

In an attempt to convince the U.S. to take military action against Iran, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told Fox News in June that Iran’s regime wants to “kill” Trump and views him as “enemy number one.” Pezeshhkian disputed this claim, and accused Netanyahu of trying “to drag the U.S. into forever wars.”

“Has Iran ever backed an assassination attempt against Donald Trump?” Carlson asked.

“This is actually what Netanyahu is trying to insinuate and to make your people or the president of your country to believe. But this is wrong because Netanyahu, who has his own agenda, wants to drag the U.S. into forever wars as I said and to bring insecurity and instability and onwards to the whole region,” Pezeshhkian said.

In November, the Department of Justice charged Farhad Shakeri, a 51-year-old Iranian national, and others with murder-for-hire and providing material support to a foreign terrorist organization in connection to his alleged plot to kill Trump. Federal prosecutors alleged that the Iranian regime “tasked” Shakeri in October 2024 with proposing a plan to carry out the assassination on Trump and a U.S. citizen of Iranian origin.
