Israel Hayom newspaper claimed that Mossad passed intelligence to the CIA indicating that Iran planned to target US President Donald Trump and senior US officials with explosive-laden UAVs. According to the report, the information was also confirmed by another Western intelligence service; Trump's outdoor events were reduced, and it was alleged that Secretary of State Rubio and Defense Secretary Hegseth were moved to a military base.
Israeli press claimed that Israel's foreign intelligence service Mossad shared intelligence with the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) indicating that Iran planned to target US President Donald Trump and senior figures in the Washington administration with an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) attack.
In a report by Israel Hayom based on unnamed senior Israeli and US officials, it was alleged that intelligence regarding Mossad's claim that Iran was planning attacks targeting US President Trump and some senior US officials was also corroborated by another Western intelligence service.
CHANCES OF A DEAL DECLINED
Officials argued that the possibility of reaching a deal between the US and Iran has decreased significantly in recent days, and that one of the reasons behind this was the intelligence Mossad conveyed to the CIA.
Officials, saying that the intelligence Israel conveyed to the CIA pointed to the possibility of an attack with explosives-laden unmanned aerial vehicles, argued that combating this method is difficult with conventional measures.
CLAIM THAT TRUMP'S SECURITY MEASURES WERE INCREASED
It was claimed that after Mossad's intelligence sharing, US officials deemed at risk sharply reduced their public visibility at outdoor events, and several were temporarily moved out of their homes and placed in secure facilities.
Officials arguing that special measures were taken for Trump's public events argued that some of these events were held in open areas before the midterm elections, but such events have now been sharply reduced.
The claim was also included that additional security measures, including special systems designed to neutralize UAV threats, were implemented during events attended by the US President.
The claim was also included that Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, the figure behind economic sanctions decisions against Iran, as well as Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who was stated to oppose a deal, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth were moved to a military base.
MOSSAD DIRECTOR HAD GONE TO WASHINGTON
Mossad Director Roman Gofman, of Israel's foreign intelligence service, had gone to Washington to discuss possible attacks on Iran with senior officials of US President Donald Trump's administration.
It drew attention that the visit took place at a time when interim Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was pressing Trump to restart attacks on Iran.
