Trump’s fear of revenge: I am afraid Iran will kill me.
Former US President Donald Trump told his close friends that he is afraid of Iran’s retaliation for the martyrdom of General Qassem Soleimani.
New York Times reporter Peter Baker and his wife, New Yorker reporter Susan Glazer, wrote in a book that will be released next week that Donald Trump is afraid of being killed by Iran.
The “Guardian” newspaper published a report on Wednesday with the title: “According to the contents of a book, Trump is afraid of being assassinated by Iran in retaliation for the killing of (Serdar Qassem) Soleimani).
This British media wrote in its report: “Donald Trump told his friends in December 2020 that he is worried that Iran will try to assassinate him in revenge for the killing of Iranian general Qassem Soleimani, who was killed in a US drone attack a year earlier.” .
The Guardian reported that this issue was raised by two American authors in a book that is going to be released in America next week.

The book of these two American authors is going to be released on the market with the title: “Dividing Agent: Trump in the White House 2017 to 2021”.
Baker and Glazer explained the policy and positions of the Trump administration towards Iran; From his reluctance about the JCPOA nuclear agreement signed by Barack Obama to the withdrawal of the US from this agreement to the downing of the American drone by Iran and later the assassination of General Qassem Soleimani.
According to their writing, in June 2019, after Iran shot down the country’s Global Hawk drone, then US President Donald Trump initially agreed to retaliatory airstrikes against Iran, but immediately changed his decision.
Trump himself said in an interview about why he did it: “I thought about it for a moment and I said, ‘You know, they shot down a drone… and here we are (in case of airstrikes) with 150 dead, probably during Half an hour after I said go ahead (to announce my agreement to carry out airstrikes against Iran), it happens and I didn’t like it… I didn’t think it was a proportionate action.”
