Israel shared intelligence with the United States indicating that Iran is developing a new plan to assassinate President Donald Trump, according to a Wall Street Journal report cited by Israeli security analyst Yair Goldblatt. The report did not provide specific details on the nature of the alleged plot. The disclosure follows an earlier WSJ report, confirmed by Israeli media, that Israel had previously shared intelligence on an alleged Iranian assassination plot against Trump.
The Wall Street Journal reported overnight that Israel has shared intelligence with the United States indicating that Iran is developing a new plan to assassinate President Donald Trump. The report was flagged by security and Middle East analyst Yair Goldblatt, who cited the WSJ on his the source. No additional details on the scope, timeline, or target of the alleged plot were provided.
As The Zioneer reported earlier tonight (00:42 and 00:44 Jerusalem), the WSJ first disclosed at 00:42 that Israel shared intelligence on an alleged Iranian assassination plot against Trump. That initial report was confirmed by N12 at 00:49, though without adding new details. The current disclosure appears to be a separate, updated element of the same intelligence thread — the WSJ now reporting that Iran is developing a *new* plan beyond the previously reported plot, which the desk's earlier version at version 2 (also at 00:42) described as an 'additional' assassination attempt.
The intelligence-sharing channel between Jerusalem and Washington on threats to the former president remains active. The White House and the Israeli Prime Minister's Office have not commented publicly on the latest report. The development follows a broader pattern of US-Israel coordination on Iranian threats; as The Zioneer reported on Jul 8 2026, a US-informed Israel of powerful strikes on Iran, and on Jun 28 2026 the US expanded airstrikes on southern Iran. Analyst Yair Goldblatt, in separate remarks at 00:56 Jerusalem (Jun 19 2026), assessed that Iran may use Trump as leverage to pressure Israel on Lebanon — a framing that could contextualize Tehran's incentive for such plots.
It remains unclear whether the new plan described by the WSJ represents a distinct operational phase or a revised iteration of the earlier threat. No corroboration from Israeli or US official sources beyond the newspaper's reporting and the N12 confirmation has emerged.
