The Trump campaign launched a new ad in response to Iran’s missile attack on Israel, accusing Vice President Kamala Harris of incompetence and claiming Iran is working to help her win the 2024 election.
The Trump campaign has released a new advertisement following Iran’s ballistic missile barrage aimed at Israel, attacking Vice President Kamala Harris and suggesting that the Islamic Republic sees her as incompetent. The ad, which was aired on Tuesday, alleges that new intelligence reveals Iran’s intentions to support Harris in the upcoming U.S. presidential election.
The ad opens with footage of the missile attacks launched from Iran, followed by a voiceover declaring, “Iran thinks Harris is so incompetent. New intel shows they are trying to help Harris win the election.” The ad continues to suggest that Harris’s foreign policy failures have emboldened adversaries like Iran, painting her as unprepared to handle international crises.

This ad comes amid escalating tensions in the Middle East, as the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed that Iran had fired multiple missiles toward Israel on Tuesday, prompting immediate warnings to residents to take cover in bomb shelters. Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari of the IDF told Israelis that the military would do everything necessary to protect civilians.
Trump responded to the situation directly on Truth Social;:
The Trump campaign’s ad underscores its efforts to highlight foreign policy issues as a key focal point in the 2024 election, positioning former President Donald Trump as a leader capable of handling global threats. The campaign has repeatedly criticized the current administration’s approach to Iran, citing its failure to prevent escalations like the missile attacks.
In the weeks leading up to the election, the Trump campaign is expected to continue to focus on national security and Harris’s perceived inadequacies in dealing with international threats, using incidents such as the recent missile strike to galvanize support.
