Multiple outlets report that Israel has provided the United States with intelligence suggesting Iran is considering or developing a fresh plan to assassinate U.S. President Donald Trump. The reporting is based on information described as new and, in some accounts, “specific,” and it is attributed to Israeli intelligence officials who relayed the warning to the Trump administration earlier in the week. The initial public disclosure in these accounts traces back to The Wall Street Journal, which cited people familiar with the matter.
Several stories say the alleged threat is occurring amid continued heightened tensions between Washington and Tehran, as hostilities in the region resume and a fragile U.S.-Iran ceasefire is described as weakening. Trump is also reported to have referenced that he may be a target, including remarks made as he departed a NATO summit in Turkey.
Across the coverage, no official confirmation or detailed evidence of the plot is provided by the White House or by Iranian officials in the cited reports. The articles also note uncertainty around the intent and context of the intelligence sharing, with at least one outlet describing discussion among U.S. officials about whether the warning could relate to broader U.S. decision-making on potential escalation against Iran.
