Israeli intelligence warns of an Iranian plot against Trump.
The Israeli intelligence service (the Mossad) provided the American CIA with information about the threat to US President Donald Trump and US government officials from Iran. This was reported by the Israel Hayom newspaper, which quoted senior American and Israeli officials.
"The chances of reaching an agreement between the US and Iran, even an initial one, have decreased significantly in recent days, partly due to intelligence information provided by the Mossad to the CIA indicating Iranian intentions to attack President Donald Trump and his administration officials," the story reads.
The publication notes that these threats are one of the main factors that influenced the recent change in the American leader's approach to negotiations with Tehran.
According to his sources, Israel approved the intelligence information at the request of the Americans, after American intelligence agencies asked the Mossad to verify the information.
