Vahidi has been included in lists of \u201cobstructionists\u201d within the regime who are viewed by the Trump administration as actively undermining negotiations, according to a source familiar with US planning. The US has considered directly targeting leaders on the list if full-scale war resumes, the source said.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Two US  sources familiar with the matter said recent US intelligence assessments show no indication of a new, specific Iranian plot to kill Trump, but rather a steady drumbeat of chatter about various Iranian actors wanting to do so. The desire to target Trump is not unique to Iran\u2019s leadership. Mourners at the days-long funeral for Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was killed by Israel in the opening strikes of the war in late-February, held signs calling on Iran to kill Trump.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            In a Friday interview with the New York Post Trump downplayed the significance of the Israeli intelligence, first reported by the Wall Street Journal on Thursday, saying that Iran had long threatened his life.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cIsrael came up with nothing,\u201d he said, describing himself as Iran\u2019s \u201cnumber one\u201d target \u201cfor a long time.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            The intelligence sharing by Israeli officials comes at a time when Israel has been increasingly sidelined as the Trump administration grapples with how to end its war with Iran. Two Israeli sources say the Trump administration doesn\u2019t want Israel involved in the fighting over concerns of losing control of the conflict.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            One of the sources said the prevailing Israeli assessment is that Trump does not want a return to a full-scale war and that the most he may be willing to do is to reinstate the naval blockade on Iranian ports.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Trump, on Friday, posted to Truth Social that \u201cthe United States has stated to them, in no uncertain terms, that the Cease Fire is OVER!,\u201d referencing Iranian leadership, while adding that he had agreed to continue talks aimed at restoring a pause in fighting.\n    <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/?p=5420\">Mystery spheres on beach are likely space debris that fell back to Earth<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n            Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been skeptical of Iran\u2019s intentions in ongoing talks and has never believed Tehran was negotiating in good faith. Instead, Netanyahu has favored a return to war in an effort to weaken the regime.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            US intelligence officials are broadly aware that Israel feels cut out of the decision-making process and is ramping up efforts to influence the Trump administration\u2019s thinking on Iran in multiple ways with the goal of steering them away from accepting what it considers a bad deal, according to two sources familiar with the matter.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            The sources said there is a measure of skepticism within the US intelligence community about information provided by Israel because of that perception of the desire to impact Trump\u2019s decision making.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            To that end, Israel has increasingly attempted to feed information, both through the US intelligence community and to other more friendly administration officials that they believe could impact Trump\u2019s thinking on Iran, as part of that effort. That includes how Israeli officials framed the intelligence revealed in recent reporting of the claimed new plot to assassinate Trump, the sources said.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            But fundamentally, nothing has changed as far as the threats against Trump since he took office for his second term as far as what the US intel community has been monitoring, one of the sources said.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            While US intelligence officials have been concerned that multiple Iranian actors might want to try to assassinate Trump, they have assessed that Iranians either have not been able to develop a plan or have not received approval from Iranian decision-makers to carry out a specific plot, the source added.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            During the first Trump administration, the US tracked a number of threats against former officials, including former National Security Adviser John Bolton, who is a hawk on Iran. Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo was also a target of the Iranian assassination plot, according to a federal law enforcement source familiar with the investigation and a source close to Pompeo.\n    <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/?p=5410\">Trump says he won\u2019t sign housing bill that\u2019s set to become law at midnight<\/a><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>CNN\u2019s Alejandra Jaramillo contributed to this story.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Israeli intelligence shared with the Trump administration of Iranian threats to assassinate President Donald Trump reflected a desire among elements of Tehran\u2019s hardline leadership to target the American leader, according to an Israeli source and a US official, rather than a specific, detailed plan to carry out such an operation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5425,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5426","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-politics"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
