Revealed: Why Iran didn't ‘assassinate’ Trump during NATO summit despite being within missile reach

Published on Jul 09, 2026 02:39 pm IST

Iran has claimed that U.S. President Donald Trump was within striking range during the NATO Summit in Turkey but was deliberately spared to avoid damaging relations with neighboring countries. The statement, made by a senior Iranian official, comes amid renewed tensions between Washington and Tehran following the collapse of the ceasefire and fresh military exchanges. Iran insists it exercised restraint despite public calls for revenge over the death of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, while the U.S. continues to increase pressure through sanctions and military action.
