Israeli intelligence warned the CIA about Iran's plans to assassinate US President Donald Trump and senior American officials, according to Israel Hayom.
Intelligence data provided by the Mossad to the CIA indicates that Iran intends to attack Trump and high-ranking members of his administration with drones loaded with explosives.
The agency's sources note that this information was also confirmed by another Western intelligence agency. At the same time, it was precisely Israeli intelligence that became one of the main factors influencing Trump's change of position regarding negotiations with Tehran.
According to sources, the prospects for concluding even a preliminary agreement between the US and Iran have significantly deteriorated in recent days.
Due to potential threats, senior US officials have begun limiting public appearances at outdoor events. Some administration officials have temporarily moved from their homes to safer locations.
Trump's own public appearances have also been restricted, and additional security measures have been implemented for them.
The threat from Iran has become one of the reasons why the White House has changed its approach to negotiations with Tehran.
Currently, the US side is attempting to reach an agreement based on the memorandum of understanding signed in May.
Recently, disagreements within the US over how to proceed with the war in the Middle East have intensified.
Some of Washington's allies have insisted on new strikes against Iran, while others have opposed escalation.
The administration of US President Donald Trump has begun to lean toward continuing economic pressure on Tehran rather than resuming full-scale hostilities.
Trump himself stated that he might refrain from launching new large-scale attacks if Iran or the Houthis it supports do not resort to provocations.
