Iran has a new plan to kill Trump, Israel warns: Sources - CNN Erin Burnett Outfront



Israel shared intelligence with the United States that Iran had recently devised a new plan to assassinate Donald Trump, two sources familiar with matter told CNN. One of the sources said the warning came this week. Another source said the US had picked up a steady drumbeat of intelligence in recent weeks about possible plans to assassinate Trump, but the warning from Israel was new and concerned a specific plot.

The details of that plot were not immediately clear, nor was it clear if the US had detected it separately from the Israeli warning. Asked for comment on the Israeli warning, which was first reported by the Wall Street Journal, the White House pointed to Trump’s recent comments on Iran’s desire to kill him. - Aired on 07/09/2026.

That might be enough cholesterol to finally trigger the big one.

Previously, Soleimani

And all those little children.

Dunno if you're into classical music, but this is my feeling about all his murders and his reprehensible treatment of the Obamas.



Day of Wrath.
HIS despicable world of greed, lies, pedophilia, blackmail, hate, money laundering and more will dissolve into ashes.

Wonder Why

He still thinks those fake attacks were real. So he must be invincible. Egad!

i instinctively thought the fake assassinations were trump productions and that he knew the script. but there is a possibility that his team produced the scenes as a surprise to the boss?

nah. the secret svc was in on it. he had to know.

I'm afraid deference to Netanyahu is baked into our policy in the region until he erases any reference to Palestine in the present. Or until he moves on.
