바카라 게임 웹사이트It바카라 게임 웹사이트s something we take very, very seriously. We바카라 게임 웹사이트re looking at it very carefully,바카라 게임 웹사이트 Blinken said.
Law enforcement officials have been concerned about the persistent threat of Iran potentially attempting to assassinate former Trump officials and the former president himself, multiple sources familiar with the matter have previously told CNN.

바카라 게임 웹사이트Big threats on my life by Iran. The entire U.S. Military is watching and waiting. Moves were already made by Iran that didn바카라 게임 웹사이트t work out, but they will try again,바카라 게임 웹사이트 Trump said in a early Wednesday morning.
Iran has repeatedly vowed revenge for the U.S. military바카라 게임 웹사이트s killing of Qasem Soleimani, the commander of the Iranian military바카라 게임 웹사이트s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, who was killed by a U.S. airstrike at Baghdad International Airport in January 2020. And former senior Trump administration officials who worked on national security have had tight security since leaving the government.
In his social media post on Wednesday, Trump also thanked Congress after the Senate unanimously passed a bill Tuesday guaranteeing that Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris receive the same level of Secret Service protection as a sitting president. The bill directs the Secret Service director to apply uniform standards for protection of presidents, vice presidents and major presidential and vice presidential candidates.
Congress is considering additional money for the Secret Service as part of its effort to keep the government funded ahead of a Sept. 30 deadline. An additional $231 million for the Secret Service is included in a continuing resolution the House could vote on as soon as Wednesday.
