Jewish Breaking NewsBREAKING: Israel Shared Intelligence Warning U.S. of New Iranian Plot to Assassinate President Trump
Israel has reportedly shared fresh intelligence with the United States indicating that Iran may be preparing a new plot to assassinate President Donald Trump, according to sources familiar with the matter. If accurate, the intelligence would represent a major escalation in the confrontation between Washington and Tehran.
Iran has repeatedly vowed to avenge the 2020 U.S. drone strike that killed IRGC Quds Force commander Qassem Soleimani, an operation ordered by Trump during his first term.

The Israeli Embassy in Washington declined to comment on the report, while Iran’s mission to the United Nations did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The White House referred reporters to remarks Trump made on Wednesday.
Speaking to reporters in Ankara, Trump acknowledged the alleged threats, saying: “They want to take out the U.S. leader—me. 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.”
The report comes as relations between Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have reportedly become more strained over their differing approaches to Iran. Netanyahu has pushed to continue military operations against the Islamic Republic, while Trump has favored finding an off-ramp to the conflict, citing concerns over the global economic impact. The two sides reached a fragile ceasefire last month.
Despite those differences, Trump and Netanyahu spoke by phone on Thursday. According to the Israeli Prime Minister’s Office, the two leaders agreed to continue close coordination, with Trump also updating Netanyahu on recent U.S. operations in the Gulf.
Meanwhile, anti-American rhetoric has continued in Iran. At a recent funeral ceremony for senior Iranian leaders, crowds chanted “Death to Trump,” and banners threatening the U.S. president were displayed.
Although Trump and Netanyahu remain in regular contact, recent conversations have reportedly reflected growing disagreements over the future direction of the conflict with Iran.
