MOSSAD WARNS OF IRANIAN PLOT TO ATTACK TRUMP

JERUSALEM, NOVEMBER 15 /SRNA/ - Israel's intelligence agency Mossad has shared information with the US Central Intelligence Agency /CIA/ indicating that Iran is planning to attack US President Donald Trump and senior members of his administration using drones, the Israel Hayom newspaper reported.

The newspaper said that the chances of an agreement between the US and Iran have fallen sharply in recent days, partly due to intelligence information shared by Mossad with the CIA.

The information prompted US authorities to step up security measures, limit Trump's public appearances, and move some senior officials to secure locations.

Israeli and US sources told the newspaper that the intelligence was among the factors that influenced Trump's recent shift in approach to negotiations with Tehran.

Earlier this week, the US news outlet Axios reported that Mossad Director Roman Gofman had arrived in Washington for talks with officials in the US administration.

Axios said that Gofman, one of the closest associates of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, visited Washington as Netanyahu was pressuring Trump to continue military operations against Iran.

Trump said this week that Washington was refraining from taking tougher action in its conflict with Iran at the request of several Middle Eastern countries, including Saudi Arabia, TASS reported.
