Thwarting of assassination attempt on Ivanka Trump

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

• Identity of the suspect: Muhammad Baqir 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 an American strike six years ago. Detailed plans 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 target figures associated with the American administration that authorized the elimination of Soleimani.
