Trump ends US‑Iran ceasefire after Israeli warning of Iranian plot to kill him

President Donald Trump announced the termination of the United States‑Iran memorandum of understanding, effectively ending the cease‑fire between the two nations. The decision came shortly after Israeli officials shared intelligence with Washington indicating that Iran was contemplating a new plot to assassinate Trump.

U.S. law‑enforcement and intelligence agencies have been tracking Iranian efforts to target the president since the 2020 drone strike that killed Iranian General Qassem Soleimani. Sources said the Israeli warning arrived this week and was referenced by Trump at a NATO summit. Analysts noted the Israeli report could be intended to influence U.S. policy toward Iran, amid ongoing diplomatic talks to revive a nuclear deal.
