Reuters, citing one current and two former US officials, reported that Washington received several warnings from Israel over the past year claiming Iran intended to assassinate President Donald Trump, but that US intelligence agencies were unable to independently verify them. One warning preceded a secret Air Force One ruse in Turkey used to protect the president's movements. The warnings were passed to US intelligence agencies and in some cases relayed directly by Israeli officials. The account raises questions about the reliability of intelligence shared between the allies during the confrontation with Iran and about how threat reporting has shaped US security decisions and the wider pressure campaign on Tehran.
