Tehran wants to launch a drone attack.

Israeli intelligence warned the CIA about Iran’s plans to assassinate U.S. President Donald Trump and high-ranking U.S. officials, specifically using drones, which influenced a shift in the U.S. president’s approach to negotiations with Tehran.

This was reported by Israel Hayom.

The prospects for reaching an agreement between the U.S. and Iran—even a preliminary one—have significantly diminished in recent days, partly due to intelligence provided by the Mossad to the CIA, which indicates that Iran intends to attack President Donald Trump and senior members of his administration, the publication notes.

High-ranking Israeli and American officials told Israel Hayom that these threats were among the main factors behind Trump’s recent shift in approach to negotiations with Tehran.

According to senior officials, Israel confirmed the intelligence at the request of the Americans. The information obtained by the Mossad points to specific threats, including the possibility of attacks using UAVs loaded with explosives.

Officials told the publication that this Israeli intelligence regarding Iran’s plans was also corroborated by another Western intelligence agency.

Due to the potential threat, high-ranking U.S. officials who are potentially at risk have limited their public appearances at outdoor events. Some have even temporarily moved from their homes to safer locations.

Trump’s public appearances have also been restricted, and special security measures have been implemented for them.

Furthermore, according to the publication’s sources, Iran’s intentions to attack high-ranking U.S. officials were one of the main reasons behind Trump’s recent shift in approach to negotiations with Tehran and efforts aimed at reaching an agreement based on the memorandum of understanding signed in May.
