Israel shared new intelligence with the U.S. that it said indicated a fresh Iranian plan to kill President Trump, people familiar with the matter said, a finding that would mark an escalation in the war between Washington and Iran.

Iran for years has vowed openly to retaliate against Trump for the assassination of Qassem Soleimani, who was a top general in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, in the president’s first term.

1. Are the betting markets going to start with odds....................

it would not surprise me one bit.

[ChicagoTeamster]

14. Aren't Netanyahu's sons behind polymarket

[Attilatheblond]

2. Trump deserves it, but as long as Netanyahu needs to hold power to avoid his own criminal trials problems,

one could see why he might want to keep Trump pissed off and willing to keep a war going. Anything Israel under their own madman says needs a lot of outside verification.

[SuzyandPuffpuff]

3. Just do it

Fuck almighty. Get. Him. Gone. However the fuck...make him and his cast and crew .... GO THE FUCK AWAY

[Ritabert]

4. I don't believe a word of it. They're always stirring the pot.

[paleotn]

9. At this point, I'd have a hard time believing Tel Aviv if they told us water is wet.

[Ritabert]

17. Yes!

[Joinfortmill]

5. Promises, promises.

[usonian]

6. Bet against that. IRG are trash.

They'll probably lean on Saudis to try.

I can see why the airplane upgrade. First to the original AF1, then To this:



Unfortunately, great damage to the White House has already been done.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

7. What's good for the goose is good for the gander,

don't get me wrong, it would be foolish for Iran to try to assassinate Trumpedo, that would give him all the excuse he needed to drop a nuke on Iran, but Trumpedo opened that box when he started assassinating Iran's leaders.

[hookaleft]

12. How in the hell are they going to assassinate him?

He is the most protected man in the world.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

13. If an assassin is willing to die, then anyone can be gotten to, and we know that Iran has

employed suicide bombers in the past through their proxies, Hamas, Hizbollah and a host of other terrorist org.
It wouldn't be easy, but it can be done.

As I said, I hope they don't due to the insanity of Trumpedo and his criminal cabal.

[LeftInTX]

25. They will die before they can do anything.

[hlthe2b]

21. There is always a weakness. And Trump's ignorance and arrogance is but one of those factors.

[MorbidButterflyTat]

22. There have already been several "assassination attempts"

Oddly, never mentioned again by the revenge driven asshole. They must have affected him very deeply.

[yourout]

30. Send him about 10,000 Big Macs.

[moonshinegnomie]

8. of all the thing si could be concerend about

then taking him out is pretty much at the bottom of the list.....

[Botany]

10. I don't blame them.

He is a mad man who has killed thousands of Iranians in his unnecessary war to distract from
Epstein. Just for the murder and wounding of all those Iranian school girls and teacher because
Peter Thiel’s Palantir sold outdated targeting information to the U.S. Military he should be a target
of the Iranians.

[jimmil]

11. Perhaps.....

We should start a Go Fund Me page to help Iran out.

[JoseBalow]

16. Do yourself a favor, amigo

Delete this post.

[ChicagoTeamster]

15. Are we sure it's true? But, Trump and Netanyahu did target and kill Iranian leadership and their families

[dflprincess]

18. That's what I wonder

One can certainly see why the Iranians might want to to do this, but I hope they're too smart to do it. The last thing they should want to do is make Trump a martyr & risk getting more of the world on the side of Trump's war.

What has worried me is that those around Trump, who are too cowardly to use the 25th Amendment, may stage another "attempt" on Trump and blame it on the Iranians or whoever the enemy of the day is.

[LeftInTX]

20. A plot is a plot. They wouldn't follow through with it to be a plot.

It's easier for them to do something dick-ass that gets more Americans killed

[thomski64]

27. There is established precedent for killing other people's leadership

For example the U S of Aipac did that to Iran. Also established precedent to kidnap a Country's leader as was done to Maduro..so have at it Iran, or jeez anyone else. Seems it's open season.

[SergeStorms]

23. Super-glue his lips together.

The internal pressure from the build-up of hot air will make him explode within 2 minutes.

Fecal matter and Depends shrapnel everywhere. It'll be a bloodbath.

[Dan]

24. My first thought was Who Cares! My second thought was Israel lies.

My final thought was Who Cares.

[lapfog_1]

26. Why in the hell would Iran kill Trump

He is the best thing they have going for them in the war.

[Kaleva]

28. Why? Trump is an asset to Iran

Allies did not support assassination attempts against Hitler because they felt that the war would be shorter with him alive and fucking things up for the Axis.

[ffr]

29. 🤣🤣🤣 Who is going to believe that, MAGAtts? Trump is destroying America from within, Iran's pipe dream!

With any luck, for the Iranians, if he doesn't die of natural causes, there won't anything but talk of the good ol' days, when he and his grifting con artists are through. Why would they do anything but play along with the smelly fly infested decomposing pile of shit?
