# Iran plotted to kill Trump at Turkey summit: Israel intel 2026-08-14T10:55:16+00:00 | World & Diplomacy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Israel gave the White House intelligence that Iran planned to assassinate US President Donald Trump during the NATO summit in Ankara last month, Reuters reported, citing sources. The plot allegedly involved a shoulder-launched missile aimed at Air Force One. Trump secretly swapped planes during the trip, flying out on a smaller C-32A aircraft. The tip was one of several Israeli warnings over the past year about Iranian assassination schemes, including sniper and knife attacks, according to the report. However, the CIA has not corroborated the specific threats, and Turkish intelligence said it found no evidence of any Iranian plot. The White House and Secret Service took precautions anyway. ## Coverage - hindustantimes.com Tags: Iran, Israeli intelligence, NATO summit, Trump assassination plot, Turkey, US Secret Service Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/iran-plotted-to-kill-trump-at-turkey-summit-israel-intel/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
