The Wall Street Journal reports that Israel warned the United States of an alleged Iranian plot to assassinate President Donald Trump, according to the newspaper. The report, published minutes after an earlier WSJ story on intelligence sharing about a similar plot, did not provide additional details. The warning signals ongoing Israeli–US coordination on the threat.
The Wall Street Journal reported at 00:47 Jerusalem that Israel issued a warning to the United States about an alleged Iranian plot to assassinate President Donald Trump. The report, which cites an Israeli warning, comes just minutes after a separate WSJ dispatch at 00:44 that described Israeli intelligence sharing with Washington on a similar alleged plot. Together, the two reports indicate a heightened Israeli assessment of an Iranian threat against the former president.
As The Zioneer reported at 00:44, the earlier bulletin noted that Israel shared intelligence with the US on an alleged Iranian assassination plot, without providing further details. The new warning is framed as a more direct alert, suggesting urgency. The Wall Street Journal did not specify the nature of the intelligence or the precise timing of the alleged plot.
The reports come amid a broader context of US–Israeli tensions with Iran, including earlier WSJ reports of a possible US naval blockade and Israeli preparations for a potential Iranian strike. However, the direct connection between those background items and this specific warning remains unconfirmed. The intelligence desk's assessment is that the warning is credible but rests on a single journalistic source, warranting a Developing signal pending further confirmation.
