Summary

Israel has shared intelligence with the US indicating Iran has developed a new plan to assassinate President Donald Trump, according to a report by the Wall Street Journal. The intelligence suggests an escalation in threats against Trump, whom Iran has repeatedly vowed to retaliate against over the 2020 US strike that killed Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani. Trump has stated that he is aware of the threats and has referred to Iran as “evil, sick people.” The White House has not commented on the report, but Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have agreed to continue coordination between the two countries.

As expected, the matter has reached another stage.

The US and Israel continue to coordinate on Iran, despite recent divergence on how to proceed. Trump and Netanyahu spoke and agreed to continue working together. Meanwhile, Iranian mourners chanted for Trump’s death and displayed a banner reading, “We Will Kill Trump.” The cycle of threats and retaliation continues, with Trump stating that he is aware of the threats and referring to Iran as “evil, sick people.” The familiar pattern of escalation and rhetoric persists.
