US Ambassador Confirms Israel Warned Trump of Iranian Assassination Plot

Mike Herzog, the US Ambassador to Israel, confirmed in a Fox News interview that Israel provided intelligence to former President Donald Trump about a specific Iranian plan to assassinate him. Herzog emphasized the seriousness of the threat, stating, "This is serious, you cannot make up such claims." The intelligence was shared with Trump and other American officials earlier this week.

This revelation follows Trump's public warnings to Iran amid escalating tensions. During a visit to Ankara, Trump openly acknowledged being targeted by Iranian assassination lists, saying, "They want to eliminate the US leader, me. I am on every list." He also issued a direct threat on the social media platform TRUTH, declaring that 1,000 missiles were ready to launch at Iran, with thousands more prepared if Iran attempted any assassination.

In response, Iran's regime issued a strong message through Mojtaba Khamenei, son of the late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. Mojtaba vowed revenge for his father's death and for all casualties in two wars, promising that the perpetrators would not find peace. The message, though unverified regarding Mojtaba's status, underscored Iran's commitment to retaliate soon, regardless of the presence of its leaders.

The exchange of threats and intelligence highlights the heightened tensions between the US, Israel, and Iran, with both sides preparing for possible escalations. The confirmation by the US ambassador underscores the gravity with which Washington and Jerusalem view the Iranian threat against Trump.
