Mossad Warns Washington of Iranian Plot to Assassinate Trump with Bomb-Drones

The U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) received a warning from Israel’s Mossad intelligence agency that Iran had plotted to assassinate U.S. President Donald Trump using drone bombs.

The report comes at a time when the president has not appeared publicly since Wednesday, following a series of consecutive public gatherings ahead of the midterm elections.

The Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth claimed that Mossad provided intelligence to the CIA indicating that Iran intended to target Trump, months after the president was forced to change his plane due to concerns over an assassination plot.

Mossad head Ronen Bar held talks with CIA Director John Ratcliffe in Washington last week.

Senior Israeli and U.S. officials said these plots have led to a cooling of peace talks between Washington and Tehran in recent days. One official stated that Israeli intelligence claims the plot involves the use of drone bombs.

In early November, Iran unveiled a banner reading “We will kill Trump” above Revolution Square in central Tehran.

Earlier this week, it was reported that Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent became the latest cabinet member to be relocated from his home in Washington, D.C., amid threats to his life from Iran.

Attorney General Todd Blanche, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio were also moved to military residences.

Trump has not held any public events for several days, but he is scheduled to travel to the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in the Chinese city of Shenzhen, an unprecedented gathering of the leaders of the world’s largest nuclear powers.

There, Trump is expected to hold trilateral meetings with his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping, and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
