The Republican presidential candidate was briefed "regarding real and specific threats from Iran to assassinate him in an effort to destabilize and sow chaos in the United States", the campaign said in a statement.
It did not elaborate on the claims, and it was not immediately clear if the threats it referred to were new or had been previously reported.
The Iranian government did not immediately respond to a request for comment, but Tehran has previously denied US claims of interfering in American affairs.
Trump posted on the social media site X, formerly Twitter, that there are "big threats on my life by Iran."
