According to Israel Hayom, the Mossad reportedly passed the CIA intelligence about an Iranian drone attack plan targeting Donald Trump and several senior US officials. US agencies had requested the verification, and several officials were moved to secure sites, while Trump’s public appearances have been reduced.

The Mossad, Israel’s intelligence service, passed the CIA, the US intelligence agency, information that Iran is preparing a drone attack targeting US President Donald Trump and senior members of his administration. The intelligence was shared after US intelligence agencies asked the Mossad to verify the threat, according to the Israeli newspaper Israel Hayom, which cites senior Israeli and US officials.

In response, senior US officials were reportedly moved to secure sites, Donald Trump’s public appearances were reduced and exceptional security measures were put in place, again according to Israel Hayom.

This information comes as Iran threatened to widen the conflict if it were attacked, on 12 November. Donald Trump could also suspend strikes on Iran without a new provocation.
