Israel Shared Intelligence with U.S. on Alleged Iranian Plot Against Trump

Israel has reportedly alerted the United States to an alleged Iranian plot aimed at assassinating former President Donald Trump, according to The Wall Street Journal. Citing sources familiar with the matter, the report indicates that Israel transmitted intelligence regarding the supposed conspiracy to U.S. authorities, though specific details about the plot or its potential perpetrators have not been disclosed.

The warning comes at a time of escalating tensions between Washington and Tehran, marked by recent military confrontations and mutual threats. Trump himself acknowledged on Wednesday during a NATO summit in Ankara that he remains a target of potential Iranian attacks, stating, "They want to finish the leader of the United States, meaning me." He added, "I am on all the lists. I saw it this morning: I am on each and every one of their lists. And, so far, I guess I've been a little lucky, but that might not last for a long time."

Trump linked these threats to the 2020 U.S. operation that resulted in the death of Iranian General Qasem Soleimani, a key figure in the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps who was killed in a U.S. drone strike in Baghdad. U.S. authorities had previously pointed to Iranian threats against Trump related to Soleimani's death.

This latest intelligence warning emerges as the U.S. and Iran are experiencing one of their most intense periods of recent tension. Washington launched new strikes against Iranian targets after accusing Tehran of threatening commercial navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, prompting Iran to respond with attacks on U.S. facilities in the region. The report on the alleged plot adds to existing security concerns surrounding the former U.S. president, who has repeatedly identified Iran as a direct threat.
