Israel warned the U.S. about an Iranian plot to assassinate President Donald Trump on his flight back from last month’s NATO Summit in Turkey, The Wall Street Journal confirmed, quoting a U.S. official. In my post yesterday, I also concluded that the “timing of the incident suggests that Israel may have alerted the U.S. to the Iranian threat.” On July 10, we reported that Israeli intelligence had warned of an Iranian plot to assassinate President Trump. U.S. law enforcement foiled a 2024 plot by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) to assassinate President Trump on American soil. In 2025, Iran issued a fatwa, or an Islamic edict, calling for the killing of President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu.
