Mossad informed CIA of Tehran's plans to attack Trump and US officials with drones

Israeli intelligence passed Washington data on the plot

Israeli intelligence warned the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) of Iran's intentions to carry out an assassination attempt on US President Donald Trump and other senior officials. As the publication Israel Hayom reports, citing sources among Israeli and American officials, Tehran plans to attack targets using unmanned aerial vehicles.

According to sources, the intelligence obtained by Israel was also confirmed by another Western intelligence agency. These threats became one of the main factors that influenced the change in Donald Trump's negotiating position regarding Tehran.

Change in negotiation strategy

The article states: "The prospects of reaching an agreement between the US and Iran, even a preliminary one, have significantly diminished in recent days, partly due to intelligence data provided by Mossad to the CIA, which indicates that Iran intends to attack President Donald Trump and senior members of his administration. These threats were among the main factors in Trump's recent change of approach to negotiations with Tehran".

The publication's sources add that Israel confirmed the intelligence data at the request of the Americans. Mossad's intelligence contains specific details of the threat, including the possibility of using drones loaded with explosives.

Enhanced security for officials

Due to the presence of the threat, senior US officials who are potentially in the risk group have limited their participation in public events held outdoors. Some of them have temporarily changed their place of residence to more secure facilities.

Earlier, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent moved from his private house to a military base after receiving threats from Iran. Despite this, he stated that he is not afraid of threats from Iran.

Escalation of Tehran's intentions

Over the past weeks, American officials have concluded that Iran's preparation of plots against current and former US government representatives has moved to a new, more advanced stage. This conclusion was partly based on intelligence data regarding threats addressed to Scott Bessent. Currently, the level of seriousness of these specific threats remains unknown.
