President Joe Biden has warned that if Iran were to assassinate Donald Trump that it would be considered an act of war. This comes as it has been revealed that over a half dozen former Trump aides have been targeted by Iran for their roles in the assassination of Qassem Soleimani. Trump has also been the subject of two assassination attempts within the last few months.
According to Fox News, Biden has reportedly instructed to his National Security Council to signal to Iran an attempt on Trump's life will be seen by the United States as an act of war and will trigger a response. This also comes as the former president has sought higher military-grade protection.
The government has also gone to great lengths in order to protect those former Trump aides who have a target on their backs because of the drone strike on the Iranian terrorist leader. The Trump camp recently requested military aircraft that can target and shoot down missiles.
"We consider this a national and homeland security matter of the highest priority, and we strongly condemn Iran for these brazen threats," National Security Council spokesperson Sean Savitt said of heightened threats against the GOP nominee. "We have ensured that appropriate agencies are continuously and promptly providing the former president's security detail with evolving threat information. Additionally, President Biden has reiterated his directive that the United States Secret Service should receive every resource, capability and protective measure required to address those evolving threats to the former president."
When the White House was pressed last month about the issue by Fox News, Biden did not comment on whether Iran making an attempt on Trump's life would be considered an act of war. Trump as well as the aides involved in the Soleimani killing have gotten death threats, and Iran hacked the Trump campaign earlier in the summer, and subsequently tried to send it to the Biden-Harris campaign.
Trump survived one assassination attempt on July 13, when Thomas Matthew Crooks was able to take a sniper's position on the roof of a nearby building in order to shoot the GOP nominee. Crooks missed the kill shot by a fraction of an inch, hitting him in the ear. A second attempt on Trump's life occurred when he was playing golf on his course in West Palm Beach. Ryan Routh reportedly waited for nearly 12 hours to target the president. An AK-47-style weapon was found at the scene where he fled.
Biden knows exactly what he's doing.

A Kentucky woman has been arrested after law enforcement found her 68-year-old mother's dismembered body parts being cooked in a pot.
On Wednesday, Kentucky State Police responded to a report of a dismembered body found by a man working on the property of a Robertson County home, according to a police statement.
'Two units arrived on scene, discovered the deceased body in the backyard. We obtained a search warrant and called in our special response team,' said Kentucky State Police Trooper David Jones, reports WKYT.
After a 12-hour standoff, police arrested 32-year-old Torilena May Fields, who had barricaded herself in her Mount Olivet home.
Although police have not confirmed the identity of the body, several news outlets reported the victim to be her mother, Trudy Fields.
One of the workers discovered drag marks in the grass, leading to Trudy's dismembered body in the backyard. The victim's arms, legs, and head were detached from her body, per police.
He also discovered a pile of hair believed to be hers.
The man informed troopers that he had been at the property the day before and had seen both the victim and Fields.
'On [Oct. 8], [the witness] said Torilena was casting spells on them and being confrontational,' troopers noted in the citation.
Police obtained a search warrant and entered the home after they were unable to contact Torilena.
When she finally came out of hiding, she was covered in blood.
A thorough search of the property revealed a bloodied mattress containing 'multiple body parts and organs.'
The investigators also discovered a pot in the oven that contained what appeared to be cooked human body parts. The pot was still warm to the touch.
Torilena is being charged with obstruction, tampering with evidence and abuse of a corpse. She is currently being held in Bourbon County Detention Center.
Further charges may be filed throughout the investigation.
Torilena does not have a prior criminal record.
Her arraignment is scheduled for Monday afternoon.

High school students across New York plan to participate in a walkout later this month to protest transgender athletes competing in girls' sports.
The statewide demonstration, set for Oct. 24, is being organized by The Coalition to Protect Kids, a group that has strong backing from the Catholic Church and the New York Republican and Conservative parties.
"It's not right for boys to compete against girls in sports. It's a huge disadvantage for girls," said Hannah Pompeo, a 16-year soccer player at Eden High School near Buffalo, who is participating in the "Walk Off for Fairness Day."
Millie McCormack, a student dancer at Somers High School in Westchester County said she and her sister, Beatrix, would also be taking part in the protest.
"I don't think it's right for men to be in our safe spaces. We worked hard for places on our teams," she said.
"Boys have physical advantages we don't have."
The groups supporting the walkout oppose the controversial Proposition 1 measure on the ballot in the Nov. 5 election. Prop 1 — also called the "Equal Rights Amendment" — would enshrine abortion rights in the state constitution.
New York already has among the strongest abortion rights laws in the nation and critics claim the ballot measure is unnecessary and just a ruse to try to boost Democratic turnout in competitive congressional and state legislative races, as well as for the White House.
The proposal also asks voters whether they support or oppose adding language to the constitution stating that people cannot be denied rights based on their "race, color, ethnicity, national origin, age, disability, creed, religion, or s*x, including sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, pregnancy, pregnancy outcomes, reproductive healthcare and autonomy."
Opponents argue adding such expansive language would open the door to allowing athletes who identify as female and are born male to compete against women and girls, which they claim would discriminate against athletes who are born female.
"Girls are being systematically canceled in this state, and 'Walk Off for Fairness Day' will give them a safe opportunity to make their voices heard," said Coalition to Protect Kids-NY spokeswoman Ayesha Kreutz.
"So many of these young women are afraid of speaking out, so they're forced to watch as 50 years of female athletic progress gets washed away by destructive ideologues. Girls are not second class citizens, so why are they being treated that way?"
In April, the state Education Department issued draft guidance that would allow trans boys to compete on girls' sports teams.
It also would allow boys — regardless of their gender identity — to play on girls' teams if the school fails to offer a boys' team in a selected sport.
If Prop 1 passes, these regulations could be protected in the state constitution, the coalition claims.
The guidelines have been put on hold following public outcry, at least until after the election.
The Republican and Conservative parties are urging voters — including parents and their student athletes — to reject what they consider progressive overreach.
"The Prop 1 ballot amendment would roll back the protections guaranteed to women and girls under Title IX of the Education Amendments signed into law by President Nixon over 50 years ago by giving biological males a constitutional right to compete on girls teams, and taking away the scholarships and playing time these young women have worked so hard for," said state Republican Party chairman Ed Cox.
"Sixty-six percent of New Yorkers oppose this radical social-engineering change to our State Constitution, according to the latest New York Times/Siena poll. The New York Republican Party urges young athletes to join the 'Walk Off for Fairness' #GirlCott on Thursday, October 24th."
Chimed in state Conservative Party chairman Gerry Kassar, "It's hard to believe we're even having the conversation that girls sports would be for anyone other than girls.
"We fully support 'Walk Off for Fairness Day' in New York, reminding young people that there is safety in numbers. Girls Sports must remain Girls Sports, and there should be nothing controversial in that statement," Kassar added.
The main group backing Prop 1 accused opponents of running a scare campaign.
"There's no bigger bully than the Coalition to Protect Kids – lying to students and parents to scare them into turning on each other," said Sasha Ahuja, campaign director for New Yorkers for Equal Rights.
"Prop 1 is about protecting abortion permanently and preventing government discrimination, full stop — and they know it. In their desperation to make this amendment about anything else, the Coalition to Protect Kids is doing anything but."
