Israel has shared intelligence with the United States about a new plot by Iran to kill US President Donald Trump, the Wall Street Journal reports, citing people familiar with the matter.
The newspaper notes Iran has been publicly pledging to assassinate Trump since the US killed Iranian IRGC Quds Force Gen. Qassem Soleimani in 2020, with calls for the US president’s death prominently featured in the ongoing mourning commemorations for slain supreme leader ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
It was unclear from the report when the intelligence was relayed, or through what channel.
Trump, who has faced several assassination attempts — including the 2024 shooting in which a bullet grazed his ear, this week referred to threats against him, saying, “I’m on every list. I saw this morning, I’m on every single one of their lists. And so far, I guess I’ve been a little bit lucky, but that maybe doesn’t last very long.”
