U.S. law enforcement and intelligence agencies have tracked evidence for years suggesting Iran seeks to target U.S. President Donald Trump and senior aides, according to reports that draw on intelligence assessments. The warnings intensify in the current phase of hostilities, with Israeli officials reportedly briefing Trump’s team shortly before Trump ends a ceasefire with Iran this week, citing intelligence that Tehran is planning additional assassination plots. The accounts describe a timeline in which the interest in targeting Trump and key aides began roughly six years ago, with activity traced to the period around Baghdad.
