Israel recently shared intelligence with the United States indicating that Iran had developed a new plan to assassinate President Donald Trump, according to a report published Thursday by The Wall Street Journal, which cited people familiar with the matter.
The reported intelligence marks the latest development in the longstanding threats Iran has directed toward Trump following the January 2020 U.S. military strike that killed Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Gen. Qassem Soleimani in Baghdad.
Fox News Digital reported that the White House referred questions about the Journal's report to remarks Trump made on Wednesday, addressing ongoing threats against his life.

"They want to take out the U.S. leader — me. I’m on whatever list. I saw this morning I’m on every single one of their lists," Trump said.
"And, so far, I guess I’ve been a bit lucky, but maybe that doesn’t last very long. These are evil, sick people. And we have to root out that cancer. That cancer. You know what you do? You’ve got to cut out cancer early. And that’s the way I feel."
Trump made those comments during a news conference at the NATO Summit in Ankara, Turkey, on July 8, 2026.
Fox News Digital also reported that it contacted Israel's Embassy in Washington and Iran's Mission to the United Nations, seeking comment on the reported intelligence.

According to The Wall Street Journal, the intelligence emerged as Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have taken different approaches in recent weeks regarding Iran following last month's conflict.
The report stated that Netanyahu has favored maintaining military pressure on Tehran, while Trump has sought to preserve the ceasefire that followed U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities.
Despite reports describing differences over strategy, Netanyahu's office said Thursday that the two leaders spoke by telephone and agreed to continue close coordination between the United States and Israel.
According to Netanyahu's office, Trump also briefed the Israeli prime minister on recent U.S. activity in the Gulf during their conversation.
The reported assassination threat comes as Iran has continued to publicly vow retaliation against Trump for authorizing the strike that killed Soleimani, who served as commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' Quds Force.
The Journal also reported that mourners attending the funeral of Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei displayed a banner reading, "We Will Kill Trump."
According to the report, attendees at the funeral also chanted for Trump's death.
The latest intelligence report follows years of public statements by Iranian officials and affiliated groups pledging revenge for Soleimani's death.
Trump also referenced Soleimani during his remarks on Wednesday, revealing that Israel had previously declined to participate in a plan to eliminate the Iranian general in 2020 before the United States carried out the strike.
Neither the White House nor Israeli officials publicly released additional details about the intelligence referenced in The Wall Street Journal report.
No further information has been made public regarding the alleged plot, including its timing, operational details, or whether any arrests have been made.
The reported intelligence underscores the continuing security concerns surrounding threats against Trump more than six years after the strike that killed Soleimani and amid ongoing tensions between the United States, Israel, and Iran.
