US could not verify Israeli warnings of Iran plots against Trump, sources say

US could not verify Israeli warnings of Iran plots against Trump, sources say The US has received several warnings from Israel over the past year that Iran intended to assassinate President Donald Trump, including before a secret Air Force One ruse in Turkey, that US intelligence officials could not independently verify, Reuters reported, citing a current US official and two former officials. The warnings, passed to US intelligence agencies and in some cases relayed directly by Israeli officials to senior White House officials, included possible plots to shoot Trump with a sniper or recruit someone to attack him with a knife at a large public event, the sources said. The tips began in June 2025 and intensified before the US decision to launch a war on Iran in February, the sources said.
