Sources cited by the NYP claim Al-Saadi intended to attack the Trump family in retaliation for the 2020 US drone strike that killed Iranian military chief Qassem Soleimani. The report states that following his arrest, authorities disclosed Al-Saadi had pledged to kill Ivanka Trump and possessed a blueprint of her Florida residence. He had also reportedly posted a map of the area where Ivanka Trump and her husband, Jared Kushner, live on his X account.
After Qasem was killed, he [Al-Saadi] went around telling people, โWe need to kill Ivanka to burn down the house of Trump the way he burned down our house.โ
Al-Saadi, 32, is facing charges related to 18 attacks and attempted attacks across Europe and the United States, according to the Department of Justice. His alleged previous crimes include firebombing a bank in Amsterdam, stabbing Jewish individuals in London, and a shooting at the US consulate in Toronto. He is also accused of links to a synagogue bombing in Belgium and arson at a temple in the Netherlands, among other foiled terror attacks.
We heard that he had a plan of Ivankaโs house in Florida.
This is not the first time reports have surfaced of Iranian threats against Ivanka Trump. Last month, a suspected Iranian front group reportedly called for Americans to kill former President Donald Trump and claimed it had nearly murdered Ivanka.
