Israel Warns U.S. Of New Iranian Plot To Assassinate Trump: Report
Israel has shared intelligence with the United States indicating that Iran has developed a new plot to assassinate President Donald Trump, according to multiple reports citing sources familiar with the matter.
The warning, first reported by The Wall Street Journal and later corroborated by CNN, marks the latest in a years-long series of Iranian threats against Trump following the 2020 U.S. airstrike that killed Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps Quds Force commander Qassem Soleimani.
According to CNN, one source said Israel relayed the warning to U.S. officials this week, while another said American intelligence agencies had already been tracking a steady stream of threats against Trump in recent weeks. The Israeli intelligence reportedly described a more specific assassination threat than previously known, though no details have been made public.
Neither the White House nor Israeli officials publicly commented on the reported intelligence. Iran’s mission to the United Nations also did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Instead, the White House referred reporters to remarks Trump made Wednesday.
“They want to take out the U.S. leader — me,” Trump said. “I’m on every list. I saw this morning, I’m on every single one of their lists. And so far, I guess I’ve been a little bit lucky, but maybe that doesn’t last very long.”
Trump added that Iran’s leaders are “evil, sick people” and compared the regime to “cancer” that must be confronted before it spreads. Iran has repeatedly vowed revenge against Trump since the January 2020 strike that killed Soleimani, one of the Islamic Republic’s most powerful military commanders and the architect of many of Iran’s regional proxy operations. Calls for Trump’s assassination have remained a recurring feature of official Iranian rhetoric.
During recent funeral ceremonies following the death of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, mourners chanted “Death to Trump” while banners declared, “We Will Kill Trump.”
The Justice Department has previously charged individuals linked to Iran’s Revolutionary Guard in assassination plots targeting former Trump administration officials, including former National Security Adviser John Bolton and former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.
While U.S. officials have not publicly confirmed the specifics of Israel’s intelligence, the reported warning underscores that threats against Trump remain an ongoing concern for American security agencies.
