REPORT: Mossad Shared Intelligence on Iranian Threats Against Trump and Senior U.S. Officials
Reports say Israeli intelligence supplied to the CIA described specific Iranian threats, including possible drone attacks, against President Trump and senior administration officials.
The Mossad has shared intelligence with the CIA about Iranian plans to target President Donald Trump and senior members of his administration, according to reports published Saturday citing senior Israeli and American officials.
According to the report, American intelligence agencies asked Israel to help verify information about the threats. The report said another Western intelligence agency also corroborated the intelligence.
The newspaper described the threats as specific and recent, including the possibility of attacks using drones carrying explosives. It did not publish the underlying intelligence.
The report said Mossad Director Roman Gofman was visiting the United States and had met with CIA Director John Ratcliffe as the agencies continued close coordination.
The report said heightened security measures had included moving some senior U.S. officials to protected facilities and reducing outdoor public appearances. It also said the threats had contributed to Trump's harder line toward negotiations with Tehran.
These details remain attributed to the report's unnamed sources. The report did not include an on-the-record confirmation from the White House, CIA or Mossad about the alleged plot.
