Iran Named in Multiple Attempts to Harm Candidate Trump and to Interfere in US Presidential

[Patong2021]

There is now  significant evidence of Iran's multiple attempts to harm former President and presidential candidate Trump.  U.S. intelligence officials briefed Mr. Trump on Tuesday about threats from Iran to assassinate him, Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung said in a statement.

In July, the FBI had previously disrupted an attempt to  harm Mr. Trump. The  implicated assassins are alleged to have ties to Iran.    https://www.thedailybeast.com/fbi-stopped-plot-to-kill-donald-trump-with-reported-ties-to-iran

 

In addition, Iran associated hackers attacked the Trump election data system  and stole confidential information. There was an attempt to sell the information to the Harris campaign. The response was to immediately report the activity to the FBI.

 

None of the above is fake or false.  The Trump campaign did not make it up, so please do not go there.  Whatever views one holds about Trump, I think we can all agree that trying to harm a presidential candidate is wrong and not acceptable.  Nor is hacking acceptable.  Something has to be done to send a message to Iran that further activity will be dealt with in a strong  manner. What would you do? Targeted removal of the responsible parties? A  few well directed missiles? 

I think both Trump and Harris would prefer to keep conflict with Iran contained for now. A confrontation tends to bolster the popularity of a sitting government, even if by a few points. Trump doesn't want to give those points away. Failing to respond doesn't work in Harris favour. On the other hand, dropping a few  bombs on the Ayatollahs would not help Harris at the  ballot box either.    More sanctions won't work if Iran's enablers of Turkey, India, Germany and China do not cooperate. So what should the USA do? Wait until after the election? Send a message now? or just carry on?  Do you think there will be a conflict with Iran in the coming year ?
