Israel shared intelligence with the United States that Iran had recently devised a new plan to assassinate President Donald Trump, two sources familiar with the matter told CNN, adding another layer of tension as a ceasefire deal between the countries comes under strain. One of the sources said the warning came this week. Another source said the US had picked up a steady drumbeat of intelligence in recent weeks about possible plans to assassinate Trump, but the warning from Israel was new and concerned a specific plot. Other American officials suggested the Israeli report could be an effort to sway Trump’s decision-making as he weighs whether to intensify American military action against Iran. The details of the plot that Israel warned about were not immediately clear, and two sources familiar with the matter said the US had not vetted it themselves nor were they tracking it before the Israeli warning. The US government has long warned that Iran may try to kill Trump in retaliation for the 2020 drone strike he ordered which killed a top Iranian general, Qasem Soleimani. Asked for comment on the Israeli warning, which was first reported by the Wall Street Journal, the White House pointed to Trump’s recent comments on Iran’s desire to kill him. “They want to take out the US leader — me,” Trump told reporters Wednesday. “I’m on whatever list. I saw this morning I’m on every single one of their lists. And so far, I guess I’ve been a bit lucky, but maybe that doesn’t last very long. These are evil, sick people. And we have to root out that cancer. That cancer. You know what you do? You’ve got to cut out cancer early. And that’s the way I feel.” Later, Trump said he’d recently learned of a new list that ranked him as Iran’s top assassination target. It’s not clear if he was referring to the new Israeli intelligence information. Over the weekend, crowds of Iranians called for Trump’s death during funeral proceedings for the slain Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was killed at the start of the war. Tensions have ramped up between the US and Iran in recent days, with the two sides trading threats and strikes as a 60-day ceasefire ending hostilities is in tatters. Two sources familiar with recent US intelligence said that the intelligence community is tracking several actors who have discussed attacks but haven’t taken action, and one said that US intelligence agencies have been concerned that Iran would target a number of current and former senior officials. But that source said that the Israeli report is viewed — in part — as piece of a broader Israeli effort to influence Trump’s decision making on Iran. Some in the intelligence community are always skeptical of Israeli reporting, the source said. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has voiced deep doubts toward Trump’s efforts at diplomacy with Iran, and he has clashed with Trump over Israeli military action in Lebanon, which had complicated the talks. The two men spoke by phone Thursday, and Netanyahu is expected to visit Washington soon for talks with the president. SOURCE: https://cnn.it/4f2nzDW

Lol! Israel always coming up with these stories to keep dragging the US into more wars. That was how they said Iraq had weapons of mass destruction and dragged the US to a war that left over one million people dead, till today weapons of mass destruction we no see. |

Once you've been targeted for destruction, either true or false, you can't escape the narrative agenda. |

That's why he swapped planes and let the Qatari plane fly to London without him. You dey fear death abi? But the pilot should risk his life. By the way, na so Israel dey do. They've managed to dog walk Trump. Using fear to control him. |

Bluna:that's hilarious. Is it not the same Iran that have plotted to assassìnate Trump on two failed occasions? Was it Israel that asked Iran to carry out such attempts in order to get Trump to attack Iran? No body can blame Israel for what Iran decided to do. May God destroy the Islamic tērrorist regime of Iran! It is wise for Trump to listen to Israel, the Ally of the United States, than to listen to Tērrorists and their sympathizes. |

richiemcgold:Unfortunately they might. This is not the first time Intel came about them wanting to kill Trump. They wanted to during Trump's electioneering campaign even before he became president I guess that was one of the reasons Trump decided to change planes from the yeye Qatari plane back to the previous Airforce one |

It's only in Iranian and Iran dream can they kill America President, most especially sitting president it's not possible we all know that. First they know the consequence, secondly they don't have the resources to do that. The worst I can anticipate Iran can do, is kill many America Service Men. Isreal should come out and tell us it's their own plot. |
