A Western intelligence entity reportedly passed the warning to American authorities that Iran planned to assassinate President Donald Trump during his visit to Turkey last week, leading to the replacement of his aircraft for the return flight, according to the initial report. The detail adds to earlier revelations by journalist Yaron Abraham.
A new report specifies that a Western intelligence body was the source of the warning that led to the replacement of President Donald Trump's aircraft during his visit to Turkey last week. The detail, reported this evening, builds on earlier revelations by journalist Yaron Abraham, who first disclosed at 20:36 Jerusalem that foreign intelligence had intercepted an Iranian plot to assassinate Trump during the Ankara visit and alerted U.S. authorities, prompting the plane swap.
At 20:36 Jerusalem, N12's Yaron Abraham reported that foreign intelligence intercepted the plot and warned the Americans, leading to the aircraft replacement. An accompanying analysis noted that Vice President J.D. Vance would be the one to decide on a potential military response if the assassination occurred. At 21:41 Jerusalem, The Zioneer published those details. The thread has evolved from a single-source report to a more specific attribution: a Western intelligence entity, though its identity remains undisclosed.
The Zioneer reported on July 10 that Israel shared intelligence with the U.S. on an alleged Iranian plot to assassinate Trump, according to a Wall Street Journal article. Background context includes rising tensions between the U.S. and Turkey, with analysts warning of Ankara's strategic challenge to Israel and the region. The plot was reportedly timed for Trump's visit to Turkey, a NATO ally with increasingly strained relations with Washington.
The identity of the Western intelligence entity has not been disclosed, and the full timeline of the warning — including when it was passed and how it was acted upon — remains under scrutiny. The exact operational details of the alleged plot have not been independently confirmed.
