Israeli report alleges Iran planned drone attacks on Trump and US officials
An Israeli newspaper reported an alleged Iranian plan to target US President Donald Trump and senior US officials with explosive drones.
The report cited unnamed senior Israeli and US officials, who said another Western intelligence service had confirmed the information.
They said Mossad shared the intelligence with the CIA, as the chances of a US-Iran agreement had fallen in recent days.
US officials were said to have reduced public appearances, while some were reportedly moved temporarily to secure sites.
The report also said Trump’s public events had additional protections, including systems designed to counter drone threats.
The allegations raise concerns about security and diplomacy, but the account does not independently verify the claims.
Mossad director Roman Gofman had visited Washington to discuss possible attacks on Iran with senior Trump administration officials, and no further steps were specified.
Israel Hayom reported that Mossad told the CIA Iran was planning attacks on Donald Trump and senior US officials.
The report said the alleged attacks could use explosive drones.
The claims are based on unnamed Israeli and US officials, and Milliyet reported that another Western intelligence service had also confirmed the intelligence.
Officials cited in the reports said the intelligence had contributed to a reduced chance of an agreement between the US and Iran.
The reports also alleged that some US officials had reduced public appearances or moved to secure locations.
