First Daughter Ivanka Trump was allegedly targeted in an assassination plot linked to a terrorist who was trained by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), according to sources cited in a new report.

Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood Al-Saadi, a 32-year-old Iraqi national who was recently captured, allegedly pledged to kill Ivanka Trump and possessed a blueprint of her Florida home, sources said in a New York Post report.

Authorities think the alleged plot was tied to retaliation for the 2020 U.S. drone strike in Baghdad that killed Iranian military commander Qasem Soleimani, a key figure viewed as a mentor by the suspect, sources claimed.
