Ivanka Trump, the 44-year-old daughter of President Donald Trump, was allegedly targeted in an Iranian assassination plot by a man who was associated with former Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Major General Qasem Soleimani.
In January 2020, the Iranian military chief was killed in a U.S. drone strike authorized by Trump during his first term. Since then, Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood Al-Saadi pledged to kill his first daughter, according to the New York Post. The report was based on sources who confirmed the assassination plot.

Al-Saadi trained with the Revolutionary Guard and had Soleimani as his mentor. The suspected 32-year-old terrorist was very active on social media. He previously posted a photo of the blueprint for Ivanka’s $24 million home in Florida on X and issued a threat.
“I say to the Americans look at this picture and know that neither your palaces nor the Secret Service will protect you,” he wrote. “We are currently in the stage of surveillance and analysis. I told you, our revenge is a matter of time.”
Ivanka is married to Jared Kushner, who is Jewish. The couple practices Orthodox Judaism.
Al-Saadi was arrested in Turkey on May 15 and subsequently extradited to the United States, where he was charged with terrorism-related offenses in connection with nearly 20 attacks and attempted attacks throughout Europe and the U.S. The Department of Justice says he targeted U.S. citizens and interests since the Iran war began.
He was involved in 18 attacks across Europe and two additional attacks in Canada before planning to commit a similar attack in the U.S., according to federal officials.
Al-Saadi allegedly firebombed a Bank of New York Mellon building in Amsterdam, attempted to detonate explosives at the Bank of America building in Paris, stabbed two Jewish men in London, and coordinated an attack against a Jewish synagogue in New York.
