If Iran assassinated foreign political leaders then it would have made attempts on Israeli leaders but there haven't been any claims of such attempts and Israel would have certainly publicized any Iranian assassination attempts as a causus belli. The claims that Iran conspires or has even considered assassinating Trump are groundless and obviously made to manipulate American public opinion to support war against Iran.

US claims that Iran was involved in an alleged plot to kill President-elect Donald Trump, dismissing the charge as a way to "complicate matters" between the US and Iran.
On Friday, the US Justice Department https://www.cnn.com/2024/11/08/politics/doj-charges-three-iranian-plot-to-kill-donald-trump/index.html

Araghci said that Iran respects the choice the American people made in the presidential election. "The American people have made their decision. And Iran respects their right to elect the President of their choice. The path forward is also a choice. It begins with respect," he said.
Araghchi also reiterated that Iran doesn’t seek nuclear weapons and signaled Iran is willing to talk with the US about its nuclear program.
"Iran is NOT after nuclear weapons, period. This is a policy based on Islamic teachings and our security calculations. Confidence-building is needed from both sides. It is not a one-way street," he said.
Also on Saturday, Javad Zarif, Iran’s vice president for strategic affairs, https://www.voanews.com/a/iran-urges-trump-to-change-maximum-pressure-policy/7858161.html
not to continue the "maximum pressure" policy against Iran. "Trump must show that he is not following the wrong policies of the past," said Zarif, a veteran diplomat who served as Iran’s foreign minister during Trump’s previous time in office.
The previous Trump administration’s "maximum pressure" policy against Iran involved withdrawing from the 2015 nuclear deal, imposing crippling economic sanctions, and assassinating Iranian Quds Force Commander Gen. Qasem Soleimani.
Republicans have accused President Biden of being soft on Iran, but he has essentially followed the same policies. The problem for the US is that Iran found oil markets in Asia that aren’t afraid of US sanctions, a result of the US sanctioning so many different countries.

that the next Trump administration is expected to "renew" the maximum pressure on Iran. Brian Hook, who oversaw Iran policy in the first Trump administration, is reportedly in charge of the transition for the State Department.
