Israeli intelligence warned the United States about a new Iranian plot to kill Trump, according to a report.
The warning came as tensions between Tehran and Washington remain elevated following the US-Israeli war on Iran earlier this year. Israeli officials reportedly shared intelligence with the US Secret Service and other American agencies about the alleged plot, which they believe is being orchestrated by Iranian military operatives.
The threat is said to be active and credible, though specific details about the timing, location, or method of the alleged plot have not been disclosed.
Iran’s History of Assassination Plots
This is not the first time Iran has been accused of plotting to kill a US official or American citizen on American soil. In 2022, the Justice Department charged a member of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps with plotting to assassinate former national security adviser John Bolton.
In 2024, the US charged a Pakistani national with ties to Iran in connection with an alleged plot to assassinate US politicians and officials. The Justice Department also unsealed charges in 2024 against a Pakistani man with ties to Iran for allegedly plotting to kill US officials, including Trump.
The Current Threat
The new Iranian Plot to kill Trump reportedly involves Iranian intelligence operatives seeking to target Trump, who is currently a candidate for the presidency in the 2028 election. The revelation comes as Trump faces multiple legal battles and ongoing security threats.
US officials have not publicly confirmed the Israeli warning, but the report has heightened concerns about Iran’s willingness to carry out attacks on American soil. The Secret Service has reportedly increased security measures around the former president.
The Political Context
The alleged plot comes amid a fragile ceasefire between the US and Iran, following the US-Israeli war that began in February. The ceasefire is set to expire soon, and negotiations over a broader peace deal remain unresolved.
Iran has denied any involvement in assassination plots against US officials, calling the allegations baseless. However, the country has a long history of targeting its enemies abroad, including dissidents and former officials.
The Bottom Line
Israel warned the US about a new Iranian Plot to kill Trump, according to a report. The threat is said to be active and credible. The warning comes as tensions between the US and Iran remain high, and as Trump campaigns for the presidency in 2028. The Secret Service has increased security around the former president. Iran has denied the allegations.
