Let’s not forget the Iranian plot to assassinate Donald Trump. The Iranian regime is the enemy. Our enemy.
Funny how the bloviating Chatsworth Osbourne Jr, the Charles Koch-heads, and their isolationist ilk rarely mention this. We will never forget.

🤖 Conclusion [85/100]: The statement that there was an Iranian plot to assassinate Donald Trump is strongly supported by multiple high-quality sources, including CNN, ABC News, and AP News, all reporting on the Department of Justice's announcement of charges related to an Iranian-linked assassination plot against Trump. On the other hand, the claim that the Iranian regime is the enemy of the United States is more nuanced. While many sources and the historical record indicate that the Iran-US relationship is highly adversarial and that the regimes often clash in rhetoric and action, there is no formal declaration of 'enemy' status. That portion of the statement reflects an opinion common in US political discourse but is not strictly factual in a legal or diplomatic sense. Therefore, the overall statement is mostly truthful, especially regarding the assassination plot, but conflates opinion with fact in assessing Iran as 'our enemy.'
