TL;DR

N12 reports new details on the Iranian assassination attempt against President Donald Trump, citing an assessment that Iran wanted to kill him during his visit to Turkey. Foreign intelligence that intercepted the plot and warned the Americans led to the replacement of the president's plane on his return to Washington.

01 · THE DISPATCH

The Zioneer reported earlier this evening (Sunday, 20:07 Jerusalem) that new details had emerged on the Iranian assassination attempt against President Trump, including a Western intelligence intercept of a senior Iranian official calling the attempt 'an opportunity not to be repeated.' Now, N12 correspondent Yaron Avraham adds a specific operational angle: the plot was reportedly aimed at killing Trump during his visit to Turkey, and foreign intelligence that detected the threat passed the warning to U.S. authorities, prompting the replacement of the president's aircraft for his return flight to Washington.

The report relies on a single source, an assessment cited by N12. The details have not been independently corroborated, but they align with the broader narrative of Iranian intent to target the U.S. president, which Prime Minister Netanyahu confirmed earlier this week. As The Zioneer reported Sunday at 19:42, Netanyahu stated that Israel shared critical intelligence on the Iranian plot with the United States. The new information from N12 provides the first specific time and place — the Turkey visit — and the operational response (plane swap).
