Israel has provided intelligence to the United States indicating that Iran has developed a new plot to assassinate President Donald Trump, according to multiple reports. The warning was first reported by The Wall Street Journal and later corroborated by CNN, marking a continuation of Iranian threats against Trump following the 2020 U.S. airstrike that killed Iranian General Qassem Soleimani.
Sources indicate that Israel communicated the warning to U.S. officials this week, while American intelligence agencies have been monitoring ongoing threats against Trump. The Israeli intelligence reportedly detailed a more specific assassination threat than previously known, although no further details have been disclosed.
Neither the White House nor Israeli officials have publicly commented on the intelligence report. Iran's mission to the United Nations has not responded to requests for comment. The White House referred reporters to remarks made by Trump, who stated, "They want to take out the U.S. leader — me... I’m on every single one of their lists."
Trump described Iran's leaders as "evil, sick people" and likened the regime to a "cancer" that must be confronted. Since the killing of Soleimani, Iran has expressed intentions of revenge against Trump, and calls for his assassination have been part of official Iranian rhetoric. During recent funeral ceremonies for Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, mourners chanted "Death to Trump" and displayed banners stating, "We Will Kill Trump."
The Justice Department has previously charged individuals linked to Iran's Revolutionary Guard in assassination plots against former Trump administration officials, including John Bolton and Mike Pompeo. While U.S. officials have not confirmed the specifics of Israel's intelligence, the warning highlights ongoing concerns regarding threats against Trump for American security agencies.
