Israel Warns US of Iranian Plot to Assassinate Donald Trump

The intelligence suggests Tehran is actively planning to eliminate Trump, a claim the White House has not directly confirmed but has referenced in previous statements by President Joe Biden. The report comes amid heightened tensions between the U.S. and Iran, and follows earlier threats against Trump administration officials. The intelligence sharing underscores the close security cooperation between Israel and the U.S. on Iranian threats. No specific timeline or method of the alleged plot has been disclosed.
