This is CBS, I am the world, I'm John Batcher.

Threats by the Islamic Republic of Iran and its surrogates.

What is to be done? I welcome Ben and Ben Talibou

of the Foundation for the Defense of Democracy to help me sort through the

serial threats that right now appear to be coming from all directions.

Why is also compelling?

Benham, a very good evening to you.

I go to the New York Times because assassination is much on the mind of America,

given the tragic events of these last days,

and what may or may not be ahead of us with turmoil.

However, this looks like it needs interpretation.

U.S. detected potential Iranian plot to kill President Trump, former President Trump,

separate from Saturday shooting.

Subhead, American intelligence agencies were tracking an Iranian threat even before the attack on former President Donald J. Trump.

But officials said the two were unrelated.

Let me pursue the Iranian threat the I atoll

himself has been associated with threatening overseas leaders the Satan

talked however is this unusual for Iran to be plotting against a

political figure of the scale of Mr. Trump in a year like this given the war in the Middle East or is this something

that is representative and they do this for domestic use? Who's the audience for this?

Good evening to you.

A very good evening to you, John.
