Israeli intelligence has reportedly warned the CIA about an alleged Iranian plan to attack President Donald Trump and senior members of his administration using drones, raising fresh security concerns amid escalating tensions between Washington and Tehran.
The latest warning, reported by the Israeli newspaper Israel Hayom, follows American media investigations revealing that US intelligence agencies had previously questioned the reliability of several Israeli warnings about assassination plots targeting the president. According to Israel Hayom, which cited unnamed senior American and Israeli officials, the Mossad provided specific intelligence about the alleged operation after US intelligence agencies requested assistance in assessing the threat.
Additional protective measures had been introduced, including restrictions on Trump’s public appearances and the relocation of senior officials to more secure facilities.
The reports come as American authorities confront documented threats attributed to Iran. On November 11, CBS News confirmed that Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent had relocated from his Washington-area residence to a military base following threats against his life. The development followed an October warning from Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton that Iranian efforts to target American personnel abroad had intensified, with some alleged plots reaching advanced stages.
Mossad chief visits Washington amid renewed pressure over Iran
The new report coincides with a visit to Washington by Mossad Director Roman Gofman, whose discussions with senior Trump administration officials have focused on Iran and the possibility of renewed military operations. Axios reported on November 13, citing three sources familiar with the matter, that Gofman was meeting CIA Director John Ratcliffe and was expected to hold additional talks with White House envoy Steve Witkoff in Miami.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been urging Trump to resume military operations against Iran, while the American president has so far resisted those requests, preferring continued economic and naval pressure alongside efforts to explore a diplomatic agreement.
