Iran Reportedly Plotted New Assassination Attempt Against Trump, U.S. Media Say

Published
Reports say Israeli intelligence shared details of a specific Iranian plot targeting the US president, though officials have not publicly confirmed the claims

Israeli intelligence reportedly warned the United States of a new Iranian plan to assassinate President Donald Trump, according to multiple U.S. media reports. The alleged plot was shared with Washington in recent days and is believed to be linked to Tehran’s long-standing vow to avenge the 2020 killing of Iranian General Qassem Soleimani, which was ordered during Trump’s first presidency.

Neither the White House nor Israeli officials have publicly confirmed details of the reported intelligence, while Iran has not officially commented on the latest claims. The reports come amid heightened regional tensions following renewed military confrontation between the United States and Iran, with security around Trump reportedly strengthened.

Trump recently acknowledged that Iran continues to view him as a target, saying he remains on Tehran’s list of enemies. The reported assassination threat has added another layer of strain to already fragile U.S.-Iran relations, despite ongoing diplomatic efforts to prevent further escalation in the Middle East.
