Mossad reportedly warned CIA of alleged Iranian drone plot against Trump
A report says Israel’s Mossad warned the CIA that Iran was plotting to assassinate Donald Trump using explosive drones. The alleged threat comes as Trump has made no public appearance for several days, and officials say the plot has further cooled US-Iran peace discussions.
The article says Mossad chief Roman Gofman met CIA Director John Ratcliffe in Washington this week. Several senior US officials, including Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, have reportedly been moved from their Washington homes to military housing amid threats attributed to Iran; Bessent’s department says he will continue applying economic pressure on Tehran. Trump is expected to attend the APEC summit in Shenzhen, where meetings with China’s Xi Jinping and Russia’s Vladimir Putin are planned.
