The Wall Street Journal reported Friday morning that Israel shared intelligence with the United States indicating an alleged Iranian plot to assassinate former President Donald Trump, and that Trump referenced the issue during the NATO summit on Wednesday. According to the report, the intelligence was the reason Trump raised the matter at the summit.
As The Zioneer reported earlier today at 09:51, the initial WSJ story stated that Israel had provided intelligence pointing to a fresh Iranian assassination plot. A subsequent article published at 00:44 also covered the same intelligence sharing. The new detail added in this report is the specific link to Trump's remarks at the NATO summit, which took place Wednesday.
The report is single-sourced from the Wall Street Journal, citing unnamed officials. The allegation of an Iranian assassination plot remains unconfirmed by other outlets, and the term "alleged" (לכאורה) is used throughout. No independent corroboration has been reported as of this writing.
