The Wall Street Journal, citing people familiar with the matter, reported that Israeli intelligence recently shared the information with U.S. officials. However, the report did not disclose the nature of the intelligence or the evidence supporting the alleged plot, and the claims have not been independently verified.

Iran has long maintained that it reserves the right to avenge the killing of General Qassem Soleimani, the commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps  Quds Force, who was killed in a U.S. airstrike on January 3, 2020. U.S. officials have previously warned of potential Iranian threats linked to retaliation for Soleimani s death.

The Israeli Embassy declined to comment on the report, while Iran s mission to the United Nations had not issued an immediate response at the time of publication.

The White House also declined to comment directly on the report, instead referring reporters to President Trump s recent remarks during the NATO summit in Ankara, Türkiye. Trump said he believes Iran wants to target him and claimed he has appeared on multiple alleged hit lists. He added that while he has remained safe so far, he could not predict what might happen in the future.

According to the report, Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also held a phone call to discuss the regional security situation, defense cooperation, and continued coordination between the two allies. Both leaders reportedly agreed to maintain close consultations.

The developments come amid renewed tensions between Iran and the United States following recent military exchanges and incidents involving commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, which have heightened concerns over regional security.

Iranian officials have claimed they targeted U.S. military facilities in Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, and Jordan in response to U.S. strikes. However, those claims have not been independently verified. Meanwhile, U.S. officials continue to monitor military developments and maintain heightened defensive readiness across the region.

The growing confrontation between Iran and the United States has fueled international concerns over regional stability, global energy supplies, and the broader world economy, with several countries continuing to call for diplomacy and renewed negotiations to prevent a wider conflict.
