Israel relayed intelligence to the United States about an Iranian plot to assassinate US President Donald Trump and senior officials in his administration, amid threats involving explosive drones. According to US and Israeli officials who spoke to Israel Hayom, these threats were among the central reasons for Trump's recent shift in stance toward talks with Iran. Israel confirmed this information to Washington at its request, and US intelligence agencies asked the Mossad to verify its accuracy. Meanwhile, Mossad Director Roman Gofman is in the United States, where he met with CIA Director John Ratcliffe, in addition to holding other meetings with US officials. The Israeli report indicated that Gofman, who is close to outgoing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, has been visiting Washington regularly since his appointment. According to a senior official, the Americans were aware of Iranian threats targeting the lives of senior officials in the Trump administration, particularly after the assassination of Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei at the start of the US-Israeli war on Iran. Israeli intelligence indicates notable threats in recent times, including the use of explosive drones.
