Fareed Zakaria asks Iranian foreign minister about alleged Trump assassination plot

Fareed Zakaria sat down with Iran’s acting Foreign Minister Ali Bagheri Kani and pressed him on the CNN reporting of an alleged Iranian assassination plot against former President Donald Trump. The reporting stemmed from US authorities obtaining intelligence on the alleged plot from a human source in recent weeks, a development that led to the Secret Service increasing security around the former president in recent weeks, multiple people briefed on the matter told CNN. The Permanent Mission of the Islamic Republic of Iran to the United Nations denied the accusation. Zakaria’s full interview with Kani will air Sunday at 10 a.m. ET on “Fareed Zakaria GPS.”
