According to a new report, the Iranian plot to assassinate President Donald Trump was intended to be carried out during his visit to Turkey last week, with foreign Western intelligence warning him in advance. An analysis published Sunday evening argues that while Trump is the target, Vice President Vance would be the one to decide on a potential military response if the assassination occurs.
A new report Sunday evening confirms that the Iranian assassination plot against President Donald Trump was intended to be carried out during his visit to Turkey last week, with foreign Western intelligence warning him in advance. The report echoes earlier details published by The Zioneer, which noted that the plot was foiled in part due to the intelligence warning, leading to a last-minute plane swap.
The Zioneer has been tracking this story throughout the evening. At 20:07, a bulletin noted that a senior Iranian official called the plot 'an opportunity not to be repeated' (N12 / Army Radio). At 20:20, an article expanded on the intercepted communication. At 20:26, former Mossad official Sagi Asulin warned of a 'real fear' of an assassination attempt during the NATO summit in Ankara. At 20:39, new details emerged that the plot was specifically set for the Turkey visit and that the president's plane was swapped as a precaution.
An analysis published alongside the new report argues that while Trump is the primary target, Vice President Vance would be the one to decide on a potential military response if the assassination were to occur. The piece notes that Vance is not included in the Iranian threat lists, placing him in a unique position to authorize retaliation.
The source of the current report is a single source, but the details align with prior multi-source coverage. The analysis remains opinion-based and has not been independently verified.
