Israel Shares New Intelligence With US on Iranian Plot to Assassinate Trump
Israel recently provided the United States with fresh intelligence indicating that Iranian regime elements discussed plans to assassinate former President Donald Trump. A senior American official confirmed to N12 that Israel had passed on this information amid heightened tensions following public calls in Iran for Trump’s death. These calls intensified during the funeral of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, where mourners openly chanted threats against Trump and displayed signs stating "We will kill Trump."
Iran has long vowed retaliation against Trump for ordering the killing of Qassem Soleimani, a top commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, during Trump’s first presidential term. Trump himself acknowledged the threats to his life during a press briefing in Turkey, stating, "They want to eliminate the leader of the United States, me. I am on all their lists."
The intelligence sharing underscores ongoing concerns about Iran’s intentions toward Trump, reflecting the volatile aftermath of Soleimani’s assassination and the recent leadership transition in Iran. The US and Israel continue to monitor the situation closely as they assess potential security risks to the former president.
