Israel shares intelligence with US alleging new Iranian plot to assassinate Trump
Israel has reportedly shared intelligence with the United States alleging that Iran recently developed a new plan to assassinate former President Donald Trump, according to CNN and The Wall Street Journal, citing sources familiar with the matter. The reported intelligence comes amid renewed US-Iran tensions in West Asia, even as the two countries continue nuclear negotiations.
The CNN report, citing a source, claimed that the warning came this week. The US had received intelligence in recent weeks about possible threats against Trump, but the information shared by Israel involved a specific alleged plan.
Iran has repeatedly vowed to retaliate against Trump over the 2020 killing of top Revolutionary Guard general Qassem Soleimani during Trump's first term. The US has not publicly confirmed the intelligence, and Iran has denied any such plot.
