OP is paywalled:
Iran has been publicly pledging to assassinate Trump since the US killed Iranian IRGC Quds Force Gen. Qassem Soleimani in 2020, with calls for the US president’s death featuring prominently in the ongoing mourning commemorations for slain supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
However, two US officials told Channel 12 news that the information related to general dialogue between Iranian officials on potentially assassinating the US president, rather than a specific plot.
The officials said that they believed Israel gave the information to the US to improve ties between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Trump and to try and influence Washington’s policies on Iran.
Amid the fears of an assassination attempt, Trump unexpectedly left Turkey this week aboard an older Air Force One rather than the newly renovated Qatari-donated jet that brought him there. The New York Times reported that this was done at the recommendation of the US Secret Service as a security precaution.

A large sign saying “We will kill Trump” is carried by funeral-goers in Mashhad, Iran, where supreme leader Ali Khamenei was being buried on July 9, 2026. (via X, used in accordance with Clause 27a of the Copyright Law)
