Israel shares intelligence warning Iran plotted new assassination attempt against Trump: report
2026-07-10
[FoxNews] Israel recently shared intelligence with the United States indicating Iran had developed a fresh plan to assassinate President Donald Trump, according to a Wall Street Journal report Thursday citing people familiar with the matter.

The reported intelligence would mark an escalation in the longstanding threats against Trump, who Iran has repeatedly vowed to retaliate against over the 2020 U.S. strike that killed Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Gen. Qassem Soleimani.

The White House referred Fox News Digital to Trump's remarks Wednesday when asked about the report.

"They want to take out the U.S. leader — me. I’m on whatever list. I saw this morning I’m on every single one of their lists," Trump said. "And, so far, I guess I’ve been a bit lucky, but maybe that doesn’t last very long. These are evil, sick people. And we have to root out that cancer. That cancer. You know what you do? You’ve got to cut out cancer early. And that’s the way I feel."

Fox News Digital has also reached out to Israel's Embassy in Washington and Iran's Mission to the United Nations for comment.

The Journal reported the intelligence surfaced as Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have diverged in recent weeks over how to proceed after last month's conflict with Iran. Netanyahu has advocated for continuing military pressure on Tehran, while Trump has sought to preserve a fragile ceasefire after U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear sites.

A lot of support for single sourced WSJ content.
