The Wall Street Journal reported Friday that President Donald Trump received Israeli intelligence during his visit to Turkey about an Iranian plan to assassinate him. According to the report, several senior advisors were warned by intelligence agencies that Iran was attempting to harm them, leading some to stop using ride-hailing and rental vehicles. Trump himself was updated with intelligence from Israel about a new plan being weighed in Tehran. In response, security for Trump and senior officials was tightened, and an investigation was opened into a leak from the White House. The Zioneer has previously covered Iranian assassination threats against Trump, including a plot involving IRGC units during the Ankara NATO summit in July, which led to changes in security for Trump's return flight. The current report, citing unnamed sources, adds to the ongoing security concerns surrounding the president and his administration.
