TL;DR Summary
US authorities increased security for Donald Trump weeks ago after learning of an Iranian plot to kill him. Despite this, a gunman managed to get close enough to fire at Trump during a recent event in Pennsylvania. The Secret Service had bolstered security in response to the Iranian threat, which stemmed from the 2020 killing of Iranian commander Qassim Soleimani. An independent review and congressional probes are underway to understand how the gunman breached security.
