Israel shared new intelligence with the U.S. that it said indicated a fresh Iranian plan to kill President Trump, people familiar with the matter said, a finding that would mark an escalation in the war between Washington and Iran.
Iran for years has vowed openly to retaliate against Trump for the assassination of Qassem Soleimani, who was a top general in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, in the presidents first term.

(9,540 posts)one could see why he might want to keep Trump pissed off and willing to keep a war going. Anything Israel under their own madman says needs a lot of outside verification.

(18,296 posts)don't get me wrong, it would be foolish for Iran to try to assassinate Trumpedo, that would give him all the excuse he needed to drop a nuke on Iran, but Trumpedo opened that box when he started assassinating Iran's leaders.

It wouldn't be easy, but it can be done.
As I said, I hope they don't due to the insanity of Trumpedo and his criminal cabal.

(78,408 posts)He is a mad man who has killed thousands of Iranians in his unnecessary war to distract from
Epstein. Just for the murder and wounding of all those Iranian school girls and teacher because
Peter Thiels Palantir sold outdated targeting information to the U.S. Military he should be a target
of the Iranians.

(29,480 posts)One can certainly see why the Iranians might want to to do this, but I hope they're too smart to do it. The last thing they should want to do is make Trump a martyr & risk getting more of the world on the side of Trump's war.
What has worried me is that those around Trump, who are too cowardly to use the 25th Amendment, may stage another "attempt" on Trump and blame it on the Iranians or whoever the enemy of the day is.
