Israel provides intelligence on reported Iranian plot against Donald Trump

Israel has shared intelligence with the United States regarding a new and specific Iranian plot aimed at the assassination of Donald Trump, according to reports from CNN and the Wall Street Journal. U.S. intelligence agencies have reportedly monitored a consistent stream of threats from Tehran for years, following the 2020 U.S.-led killing of Iranian General Qasem Soleimani. While details regarding the specific nature of this new plot remain limited, officials noted that these intelligence assessments come amidst heightened tensions between Washington and Tehran. During a NATO summit in Turkey, Donald Trump publicly addressed these threats, stating that he is on the targets list of the Iranian leadership. The White House referred media inquiries regarding the matter to Trump's recent statements. Meanwhile, the Israeli embassy declined to comment, and the Iranian mission to the United Nations has not provided an official response. The reports emerged following observation of Trump using an older aircraft for his departure from Turkey, sparking further questions about his security measures.
