Iran told Biden administration it won't try to assassinate President-elect Trump: report

The Department of Justice last week outlined allegations levied at Tehran that detailed a plot by an Iranian agent to assassinate the former president from the campaign trail.

Fox News Digital could not immediately reach the White House for comment on how it will act following the department's charges last week.

Soleimani has since been dubbed a hero and a martyr. 

In response to the news that Iran has since pledged not to assassinate the now president-elect, the Permanent Mission of the Islamic Republic of Iran to the United Nations told Fox News Digital, "We do not issue public statements on the details of official messages exchanged between the two countries."

"The Islamic Republic of Iran has long declared its commitment to pursuing Martyr Soleimani's assassination through legal and judicial avenues, while adhering to the recognized principles of international law," the Mission added. 

The White House has not publicly commented on the report, and Fox News Digital could not immediately reach Trump's transition team for the president-elect's reaction to it.
