Israel reportedly shared intelligence with the U.S. about potential plans by Iran to kill President Donald Trump.
The warning about the alleged plot, reported by The Wall Street Journaland CNN, comes amid growing tension between the U.S. and Israel over what the next phase of the Iran war and peace process should like.
The Independent has contacted Iran’s mission to the United Nations and the Israeli embassy in Washington for comment.
When asked about the alleged intelligence tip, the White House pointed to President Trump’s comments yesterday claiming that he was under threat from Iran.
“They want to take out the U.S. leader — me,” Trump said. “I’m on whatever list. I saw this morning I’m on every single one of their lists. And so far, I guess I’ve been a bit lucky, but maybe that doesn’t last very long. These are evil, sick people. And we have to root out that cancer. That cancer. You know what you do? You’ve got to cut out cancer early. And that’s the way I feel.”

President Donald Trump told reporters on Wednesday that embattled Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner was “in a bind” but added that the seriousness of the situation hinged on whether “you believe the woman” after Platner faced an accusation of sexual assault.
The president made the comments Wednesday evening as he gaggled with reporters on Air Force One as he returned to the U.S. from Ankara, Turkey, where he attended the Nato summit this week.
Trump was asked by reporters if Platner should be made to withdraw from the race after a woman he previously dated came forward with her experience of Platner coming into her home uninvited and forcing himself upon her. Her account was corroborated by contemporary remarks to friends, as well as a therapist. Platner, in a video message, denied the woman’s claims, calling them “troubling and false.”
The president also said that Maine Democrats were facing a tough situation, but appeared to suggest that there was room for people to believe Platn..

Maine oysterman Graham Platner has dropped his bid to unseat Republican Sen. Susan Collins after an allegation of sexual assault led to prominent Democrats abandoning his campaign.
Platner, a political novice, saw his campaign rocked when Politico reported that he had sexually assaulted an ex-girlfriend, which he vehemently denied. The revelation, however, came after several other reports of potentially troubling behavior and past history dogged Platner throughout his campaign.
Platner put out a video where he continued to deny the accusations.
“We're not doing it because of the allegations,” he said in a video posted on X. “We're doing it because of the structures that are being taken away from us by those in power.”
