Iran’s imposition of “sanctions” on dozens of Americans amounts to an assassination threat against members of former President Donald Trump’s administration, according to a senior U.S. official who threatened “severe consequences” for any harm done to them.

“Make no mistake: the United States of America will protect and defend its citizens,” White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan said Sunday. “This includes those serving the United States now and those who formerly served.”

Iranian officials have made explicit their interest in killing one of the people involved in the U.S. strike that killed Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Gen. Qassem Soleimani. The regime observed the second anniversary of his death last week, which occasioned a flurry of truculent rhetoric and the unveiling of economic sanctions by Iran that U.S. observers take as a proxy for a threat of violence.

The means the FBI/Stasi have been ordered to stage a false-flag assassination.

My first thought as well.

Yes, and if the Iranians killed some former member of the Trump Administration, including Trump himself, those "severe consequences" would likely amount to a letter saying that the Ayatollah is a very naughty boy.

This Administration wouldn't do a damn thing other than probably drink a toast when they thought nobody was looking. Or at least, nobody other than their own friends in the press who likely would toast it as well.

Agree.

Projecting, telegraphing.

So obvious, and, they don’t even care how obvious they are, anymore.
