Israel has warned the United States of a new and specific Iranian plot to assassinate President Donald Trump. According to intelligence shared by Israel, the plan was fresh and targeted the US president.
The details of the plot may explain why President Trump chose to switch planes when leaving the NATO summit in Turkey earlier this week.
This warning arrives as the United States has resumed strikes against Iran, further increasing tensions and casting doubt on ceasefire efforts. It remains unclear how seriously Washington views the alleged threat, and the timing of the revelation has raised questions regarding whether the US deliberately allowed the intelligence to become public.
