Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood Al-Saadi, a 32-year-old Iraqi national linked to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), was arrested in Turkey and extradited to the US on terrorism charges. Authorities allege he plotted to assassinate Ivanka Trump to avenge the 2020 US drone strike killing Iranian commander Qasem Soleimani. Al-Saadi reportedly possessed a blueprint of Ivanka's Florida home and coordinated multiple attacks against American and Jewish targets across Europe and North America. The plots were reportedly foiled, and investigations continue.
