[72010] Assassination attempt on Ivanka Trump: Activist acting on behalf of Iran arrested

Thwarting an assassination attempt on Ivanka Trump

US law enforcement authorities have thwarted a plot to assassinate Ivanka Trump and arrested a key suspect who acted on behalf of Iran.

• Identity of the suspect: Mohammed Baqer Saad Daoud al-Saadi, a 32-year-old Iraqi citizen.


• Organizational affiliation: Al-Saadi operated within a network linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and was described by sources as an "Iraqi Hezbollah" operative.


• Motive and evidence: The plot was planned as revenge for the elimination of Qasem Soleimani in a US strike six years ago. Detailed blueprints of Ivanka Trump's home in Florida were found in the terrorist's possession.

The affair highlights the ongoing effort by Iran and its proxy terrorist organizations to harm figures identified with the US administration that authorized the elimination of Soleimani.
