SouthernWorldwide.com – Israel has reportedly shared intelligence with the United States, suggesting that Iran is planning a new assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump.
This intelligence indicates a potential escalation of long-standing threats from Iran, which has repeatedly vowed retaliation for the 2020 U.S. strike that killed General Qassem Soleimani of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
TRUMP FACES UNPRECEDENTED THIRD ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT
“They want to take out the US leader — me. I’m on whatever list. I saw this morning I’m on every single one of their lists. And so far, I guess I’ve been a bit lucky, but maybe that doesn’t last very long. These are evil, sick people. And we have to root out that cancer. That cancer. You know what you do? You’ve got to cut out cancer early. And that’s the way I feel.”
The intelligence emerged amid recent divergences between Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu regarding the approach to Iran following last month’s conflict. Netanyahu has favored continued military pressure on Tehran, while Trump has sought to maintain a fragile ceasefire after U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities.

A statement from Netanyahu’s office indicated that Trump and Netanyahu spoke on Thursday and agreed to maintain coordination between their countries. Trump also reportedly briefed the Israeli leader on recent U.S. activities in the Gulf.
During a funeral for Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, Iranian mourners were reported to have chanted calls for Trump’s death and displayed a banner stating, “We Will Kill Trump,” according to the report.
Iran has publicly pledged for years to seek retribution against Trump for the U.S. operation that resulted in the death of Soleimani, the former commander of the Quds Force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, in Baghdad in January 2020.
