Israel shared intel about 'new' Iran plot to kill Trump: Reports

Israel has reportedly shared intelligence with the United States detailing a specific and new Iranian plot to assassinate former President Donald Trump. This warning emerged as US-Iran tensions escalated, raising concerns about a potential return to open conflict.

US media outlets, citing unnamed sources familiar with the matter, reported that Washington had been monitoring a consistent stream of intelligence regarding potential assassination plans against Trump. However, the intelligence provided by Israel was described as new and concerning a specific plot. This development follows Iran's long-standing vow to retaliate against Trump for ordering the assassination of Iranian General Qassem Soleimani in January 2020.

Former President Trump himself acknowledged awareness of threats from Iran. "They want to take out the US leader - me. I'm on whatever list. I saw this morning I'm on every single one of their lists," Trump told reporters. His remarks came as he departed Turkey following a NATO summit.

Adding to the intrigue, Trump utilized an older Air Force One aircraft for his departure from Turkey, sending his newer, Qatari-gifted jet ahead to Britain. While speculation arose that the switch might be due to security concerns with the new plane, particularly in light of fresh US strikes against Iran, the US Secret Service stated the change was made as a security precaution.
