Reports indicate that Israel issued a warning to former U.S. President Donald Trump regarding an alleged assassination plot orchestrated by Iran. The purported plot was reportedly intended to avenge the killing of Iran's top general, Qasem Soleimani, who was assassinated in a U.S. drone strike in January 2020.

Details surrounding the nature of the warning and the specifics of the alleged Iranian plot remain scarce. The reports suggest that Israel shared intelligence with Trump concerning the threat, though the exact timing and content of this communication have not been fully disclosed.

The alleged assassination plot, if confirmed, would represent a significant escalation in the ongoing tensions between Iran and the United States, particularly following Soleimani's death. General Soleimani was a highly influential figure in Iran, leading the Quds Force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
