Israel shared intelligence with Washington this week indicating that Iran had recently devised a new plan to assassinate President Donald Trump, according to the Wall Street Journal and CNN, both citing anonymous sources.
Details remain scarce. One CNN source said the warning arrived this week. Another said US intelligence had already picked up scattered signals of a possible plot in recent weeks, but that Israel's warning was new and concerned a specific threat.
Asked for comment, the White House did not deny the report, instead pointing to remarks Trump made Wednesday: "They want to take out the US leader, me. I'm on whatever list. I saw this morning I'm on every single one of their lists."
The reported threat follows longstanding US warnings that Iran could target Trump in retaliation for the 2020 drone strike that killed Iranian general Qasem Soleimani, and comes as a fragile ceasefire between the US and Iran shows signs of strain, with both sides having recently traded fresh strikes.
