New York. There is less than a month left until the US presidential election. Voting will take place here on November 5th and the election campaign is in full swing. But Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is now facing death threats from Iran. In view of the threats from Iran, Trump’s allies have called for strict security precautions. This also includes military aircraft used to transport the former president from one place to another that can fire surface-to-air missiles.

During the election campaign, former US President Donald Trump called for the use of military aircraft that can shoot down surface-to-air missiles. This demand from Trump is considered very extraordinary. According to reports in the New York Times and the Washington Post, Trump has called for extending flight restrictions to his residence and rallies and for multiple military vehicles to be made available for transportation.

This is the first time a candidate has asked for a military aircraft
This is the first time in recent memory that a presidential candidate has called for the use of military aircraft in the election campaign. Current Vice President Kamala Harris has military security. She travels on Air Force Two, a military aircraft. This is because he is the current vice president.

Trump spokesman Steven Cheung said in a statement last month that the intelligence director’s office had warned Trump about threats from Iran aimed at destabilizing America and spreading anarchy there. Cheung said at the time: “Intelligence officials have noted that such planned attacks have increased in recent months.”

Iran’s hand behind the attack on Trump!
Trump repeated this claim on his social media platform Truth Social and also wrote: “Some attempts were made by the Iranian side but they failed.” But they will try again. However, there is no evidence to support these claims. The FBI has also not confirmed that Iran was behind the attack on Trump.

American intelligence officials believe that the Iranian leadership is trying to avenge the death of its military commander, General Qasim Sulemani. General Soleimani was killed in a US drone strike in Baghdad in 2020. At that time, Trump was the President of America. Officials believe Iran’s ability to attack inside the United States is limited.

On the other hand, the Secret Service emphasized on Friday that Trump was already receiving the “highest level of security.” On the other hand, President Joe Biden told reporters that he would be happy to approve Trump’s request. He said that if Trump wanted to use military aircraft in the final phase, he could do so as long as “he doesn’t ask for F-15s.”
