Israel has reportedly provided the United States with new intelligence indicating that the Iranian regime has developed a new plot to assassinate President Donald Trump.

According to reports published Thursday by the Wall Street Journal, Israeli intelligence recently alerted U.S. officials to a specific assassination plot targeting President Trump.

Sources familiar with the intelligence said the warning was delivered this week and involved information that U.S. agencies had not previously identified independently. Details of the alleged plot have not been publicly disclosed.

Wall Street Journal reported:

Israel shared new intelligence with the U.S. that it said indicated a fresh Iranian plan to kill President Trump, people familiar with the matter said, a finding that would mark an escalation in the war between Washington and Iran.

Iran for years has vowed openly to retaliate against Trump for the assassination of Qassem Soleimani, who was a top general in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, in the president’s first term.

The Israeli embassy in Washington declined to comment. Iran’s Mission to the United Nations didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. The White House referred The Wall Street Journal to comments the president made on Wednesday.

Trump and Netanyahu spoke on Thursday, according to the Israeli prime minister’s office, which said they had agreed to continue “coordination between the countries.” Trump also updated Netanyahu on recent U.S. activity in the Gulf, the statement said.

Iranian mourners at the funeral for slain Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei chanted for Trump’s death, with mourners unveiling a banner that read “We Will Kill Trump.”

The revelation comes as President Trump has openly acknowledged the ongoing threats against his life while attending the NATO summit in Türkiye.

President Trump on Wednesday told reporters numerous times that Iran is plotting to assassinate him and addressed questions about potential security concerns in a press conference after conspicuously changing his travel plans.

Trump had said earlier during a meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte that Iran is still targeting him for assassination, slamming the Iranians as “evil, sick people.”

“They want to take out the US leader, me, I’m on every list. I saw a thing this morning; I’m on every single one of their lists,” Trump said. “And so far, I guess I’ve been maybe lucky, but that maybe doesn’t last very long because that’s the way it goes.“

“I’ve been number one on their list for years, and they’re a bunch of scum,” he also said earlier in the meeting.

Trump went on to announce that he would not be flying on Air Force One back to the United States this evening, prompting speculation of security concerns.

The White House Press Pool was advised to keep the window shades on Air Force One closed while en route to the United States after taking off from Ankara, Turkey, at 8:43 pm local time. It is still unclear if this is due to security concerns. This comes as US forces execute strikes in Iran.

President Trump was seen boarding the old Air Force One jet en route to the US.
