Iran sent a written message via Swiss diplomats in mid-October saying that it would not seek to kill Donald Trump, according to a U.S. official.

The message came after the Biden administration had sent a warning through Switzerland that it would view an assassination attempt against Trump as an act of war, the official said.

Washington’s private message reflected public warnings from the Biden administration about the potential grave consequences of an assassination attempt.

The Wall Street Journal first reported on Iran’s message.
