Summary
Israeli intelligence recently told Washington that Iran had developed a fresh plot to assassinate President Donald Trump, according to a Wall Street Journal report.
Trump said he was "on every single one of their lists," tying the threat to Iran's long-running vow to avenge the January 2020 U.S. strike that killed IRGC General Qassem Soleimani.
The report surfaced as Trump disclosed Israel had backed away from a 2020 plan to kill Soleimani, leaving the United States to carry out the strike itself.
Trump and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke Thursday and agreed to keep coordinating, even as they have recently diverged over whether to sustain pressure on Tehran or preserve a fragile ceasefire after last month's conflict.
