Intelligence Analyst Says Iran Has Zero Interest in Assassinating Trump Despite Soleimani Killing

What was said

"Zero. Zero. They don't need to do that. Their goal is to drive the United States out of the Persian Gulf. They don't want to give the United States another reason to come back and attack them."

When asked directly about Iran's motivation to assassinate Trump in retaliation for killing Soleimani and thousands of Iranians, Johnson stated Iran has zero interest in such action. He argues Iran's strategic objective is removing U.S. military presence from the Persian Gulf, and assassinating Trump would contradict that goal by providing justification for renewed American attacks. Johnson suggests any future assassination attempt would more likely be staged by U.S. intelligence to justify military intervention.
