Israel recently shared intelligence with the United States indicating Iran had developed a fresh plan to assassinate President Donald Trump, according to a Wall Street Journal report Thursday citing people familiar with the matter.<\/p>\n

The reported intelligence would mark an escalation in the longstanding threats against Trump, who Iran has repeatedly vowed to retaliate against over the 2020 U.S. strike that killed Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Gen. Qassem Soleimani. <\/p>\n

The White House referred Fox News Digital to Trump’s remarks Wednesday when asked about the report.<\/p>\n

“They want to take out the U.S. leader \u2014 me. I\u2019m on whatever list. I saw this morning I\u2019m on every single one of their lists,” Trump said. “And, so far, I guess I\u2019ve been a bit lucky, but maybe that doesn\u2019t last very long. These are evil, sick people. And we have to root out that cancer. That cancer. You know what you do? You\u2019ve got to cut out cancer early. And that\u2019s the way I feel.”<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital has also reached out to Israel’s Embassy in Washington and Iran’s Mission to the United Nations for comment.<\/p>\n

The Journal reported the intelligence surfaced as Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have diverged in recent weeks over how to proceed after last month’s conflict with Iran. Netanyahu has advocated for continuing military pressure on Tehran, while Trump has sought to preserve a fragile ceasefire after U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear sites.<\/p>\n

Iranian mourners at the funeral for Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei chanted for Trump’s death and displayed a banner that said, “We Will Kill Trump,” according to the Journal.<\/p>\n

Iran has publicly vowed for years to retaliate against Trump over the U.S. operation that killed Soleimani, the former commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ Quds Force, in Baghdad in January 2020.<\/p>\n
