# US Could Not Verify Israeli Warnings of Iran Plots Against Trump 2026-08-13T06:47:08+00:00 | World & Diplomacy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets The US intelligence community could not verify repeated Israeli warnings over the past year that Iran planned to assassinate President Donald Trump, according to current and former US officials. The warnings, passed to US agencies and directly to the White House, included alleged sniper, knife, and shoulder-launched missile threats. The most detailed tip came before the July NATO summit in Ankara, prompting the Secret Service to move Trump from Air Force One to a different aircraft as a deception. The CIA assessed low confidence in some Israeli intelligence, and Turkish intelligence also found no evidence. Some US officials said Israel aimed to influence US policy on Iran. Israeli embassy denied the claim. ## Coverage - ndtv.com - hindustantimes.com Tags: Iran, Israel, kill plot, Trump, Turkey, US intelligence Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/israels-unverified-iran-kill-plot-warning-led-to-trump-jet-switch/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
