Israel shares information on Iranian assassination plot against Trump: Report

Israeli officials shared intelligence with the United States regarding an alleged Iranian assassination plot against President Donald Trump, sources told the Wall Street Journal on Thursday, which comes amid renewed tension with the Middle Eastern country.

The president declared a ceasefire with Iran was "over" on Wednesday after Iran attacked three commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz earlier this week. The U.S. has since retaliated against Iran over the attack.

Details regarding the assassination plot were not immediately clear and the Israeli embassy in Washington has declined to comment to the Wall Street Journal. But the White House referred the outlet to comments the president made on Wednesday. 

“They want to take out the U.S. leader—me,” Trump said on his way to the U.S. from Turkey. “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 president also spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday, and the prime minister's office said they agreed to continue “coordination between the countries.”

Reports of the alleged plot comes the same day that Iranian mourners displayed banners that vowed revenge against the American president for the death Supreme Leader Ali Khameinei. Some chanted for Trump's death and others warned in a banner that they would "kill Trump." 

Other signs vowed revenge against Trump, Vice President JD Vance, War Secretary Pete Hegseth and Netanyahu for Khamenei’s death, according to the New York Post.
