Israeli intelligence services have shared information with US counterparts regarding a purported Iranian plot to assassinate President Donald Trump, according to a report by The Wall Street Journal.
The disclosure marks a significant escalation in the covert dimension of the conflict between Washington and Tehran, moving beyond conventional military posturing to direct threats against the American leadership.
The report comes as Trump has previously stated that he is at the top of Iran's hit list.
The sharing of this intelligence suggests that Israeli and US security agencies are coordinating closely on counter-terrorism and protective measures, reflecting the deepening alignment between the two nations in the face of shared threats from Tehran.
This development occurs against a backdrop of heightened regional volatility.
Recent Handelsavisen coverage noted that the United States and Iran have been attempting to negotiate an agreement, while separate reports indicated casualties from Israeli strikes in Lebanon.
