- Israel shared intelligence with the U.S. about an Iranian assassination plot against Trump.
- U.S. officials worry Israel provided partial intelligence to provoke conflict with Iran.

A massive billboard was erected in Tehran's Revolution Square showing former U.S. President Donald Trump lying in a coffin, accompanied by the message in Persian and English: "We will kill Trump." This display coincided with the funeral procession of Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, which was marked by calls for revenge against the United States. The billboard is part of a broader campaign by the Iranian regime to threaten Trump, reflecting heightened tensions following his order to assassinate Quds Force commander Qasem Soleimani in 2020.
Last week, the Wall Street Journal reported that Israel had recently shared intelligence with the United States indicating that Iran was considering an assassination attempt on Trump. The intelligence suggested that Iran's intent to target Trump dates back to the Soleimani killing during Trump's first term. The day after the report, U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Herzog confirmed that Israeli intelligence had warned the White House about a specific assassination plot against Trump.
However, some U.S. officials expressed concern that Israel may have shared only partial intelligence to push for renewed conflict with Iran. These concerns influenced Trump's decision to return early from the NATO summit in Turkey aboard the older Air Force One plane, as the newer aircraft gifted by Qatar reportedly lacked adequate defensive systems. Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is planning a visit to Washington early next week, where Trump reportedly told him that Israel should withdraw from Syria.
