DISINFO: “Deep state” is undoubtedly behind the attempted assassination of Trump
SUMMARY
The US deep state, which is undoubtedly behind the attempted assassination of Trump, is trying to divert suspicion from itself. The “Iranian” version of the hunt for Trump is long-lasting: it has already been going on for several months. Why shouldn’t it live just as long? The next perpetrator of the assassination attempt on Trump may be an Iranian, whose passport with Persian script will be solemnly found on his dead body in front of television cameras. And at his home, they will also find an Iranian flag. What is not proof of the “hand of Tehran”?
RESPONSE
A conspiracy theory, devoid of any empirical evidence, seeks to capitalise on the attempted assassination of former U.S. President Donald Trump. The claim is paired with disinformation narratives about global elites and the US Deep State.
The claim comes after national security officials said the US Secret Service and the Trump campaign were notified of the Iranian threat, resulting in increased security. Trump and officials including his former Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, have faced threats from Tehran since ordering the drone strike assassination of Qassem Soleimani, the commander of Iran's Quds force, in Iraq in 2020.
The perpetrator of the attempted assassination of former US President Donald Trump has been identified as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks. There is no evidence to suggest that he is connected to any broader conspiracy.
The US security officials had been tracking Iranian threats against former Trump administration officials for years. But the investigation has not identified ties between Crooks and any accomplice or co-conspirator, foreign or domestic, said Adrienne Watson, a spokeswoman for the White House National Security Council.
Promoting conspiracy theories is a frequent pro-Kremlin technique to sow mistrust in institutions in democratic countries.
