U.S. Could Not Independently Verify Israeli Warnings of Iranian Plots Against Trump
U.S. intelligence agencies received multiple warnings from Israel over the past year about alleged Iranian plots to assassinate former President Donald Trump, including plans involving a sniper, a knife attack, and a missile threat during the NATO summit in Turkey. However, U.S. and Turkish officials could not independently verify these specific threats. Despite the lack of corroboration, U.S. security agencies remained cautious given Iran's longstanding hostility following the killing of Iranian commander Qassem Soleimani in 2020.
