Iran’s alleged plot to assassinate former President Donald Trump and hack the Trump campaign amount to “an act of war,” according to Republican Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina.

Just days after a would-be assassin’s bullet grazed Trump’s ear in July, the FBI announced that Iran had allegedly been separately plotting to kill the former president. Federal officials later revealed that Iran had hacked and stolen confidential information from the Trump campaign.

  • In fact, there are a couple of other possibilities.

    He’s a lone wolf who just happens to have a connection to Iran.

    He’s based in Iran but actually working for Hamas or Hezbollah.

    He actually is working for Iran but not going after the former prez (being deemed too hard of a target after two assassination attempts), rather they might aim for former VP Mike Pence, or Bolton again.

    Some combination of the above (e.g. a lone wolf going after Bolton).

    I suppose we’ll just have to wait the trial and see what the investigation uncovers.
