US perceived possible threat to Trump from Iran as not entirely credible — WSJ

NEW YORK, July 12. /TASS/. US officials believed that the information about Iran’s alleged plot to assassinate President Donald Trump, received from Israel, was not entirely credible, The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) wrote, citing sources.
