Ivanka Trump was allegedly the target of a suspected assassination plot linked to networks associated with Iran’s Revolutionary Guards, according to reports published by the New York Post citing unnamed security and intelligence sources.

The case involves a 32-year-old Iraqi national who was recently arrested in Turkey and later extradited to the United States. Authorities allege that the suspect had expressed intentions to retaliate for the killing of Iranian General Qasem Soleimani, who was killed in a US drone strike in 2020.

According to the report, the suspect is believed to have conducted surveillance activities and gathered detailed information about Ivanka Trump’s residence in Florida, where she lives with her family. Investigators claim he also shared threatening messages online, including references to revenge and surveillance operations targeting US figures.

US media sources cited by the report say the suspect has been linked to multiple violent incidents and attempted attacks across Europe and North America, including arson attacks, stabbings, and shootings targeting various locations. These allegations are part of an ongoing federal investigation.

Security experts describe the case as part of a broader pattern of international threats involving politically motivated violence and transnational militant networks. Authorities in the United States have increased monitoring of individuals suspected of connections to extremist groups operating across different regions.

Ivanka Trump, the daughter of former US President Donald Trump, has not issued a public statement regarding the reported threat. Security around high-profile political figures in the United States remains a sensitive issue, particularly amid rising geopolitical tensions in the Middle East.

Officials emphasize that investigations are ongoing and that the suspect is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
