Plot to Assassinate Ivanka Trump Uncovered in Major Terrorism Case
A chilling terrorist plot targeting Ivanka Trump has been uncovered following the arrest of a senior Iranian-backed militant. On Friday, U.S. authorities announced that 32-year-old Iraqi national Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood al-Saadi was extradited from Turkey to face federal terrorism charges in the United States.
Al-Saadi, a commander in the Iran-backed Kata’ib Hezbollah militia, is accused of playing a key role in the group’s overseas terror operations. Prosecutors say he was directly involved in planning multiple attacks, primarily against Jewish targets in the U.S., Canada, and Europe. His activities allegedly included directing firebombings, stabbings, and plots against synagogues.
According to sources familiar with the investigation, al-Saadi specifically targeted Ivanka Trump, the president’s elder daughter, as revenge for the 2020 U.S. drone strike that killed Iranian military commander Qasem Soleimani. Entifadh Qanbar, a former deputy military attaché at the Iraqi embassy in Washington, told reporters that after Soleimani’s death, al-Saadi repeatedly declared his intention to “kill Ivanka to burn down the house of Trump the way he burned down our house.”
Disturbingly, the militant reportedly obtained detailed blueprints of the Florida home where Ivanka Trump, her husband Jared Kushner, and their children reside on Indian Creek Island. He was allegedly open about his plans, sharing a map of the property on social media with a threatening message: “I say to the Americans look at this picture and know that neither your palaces nor the Secret Service will protect you. We are currently in the stage of surveillance and analysis… our revenge is a matter of time.”
The New York Post reported that al-Saadi made a personal “pledge” to assassinate Ivanka Trump. Court documents describe him as a highly trained operative with ties to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). He is believed to have coordinated around 18 attacks or attempted attacks in a relatively short period.
This case highlights the ongoing threat posed by Iran-backed networks seeking retaliation for Soleimani’s killing. U.S. officials emphasize that the arrest demonstrates the effectiveness of international cooperation in counterterrorism efforts. Al-Saadi faces multiple serious charges, including providing material support to a foreign terrorist organization, and could spend the rest of his life in prison if convicted.
The disturbing plot serves as a stark reminder of the persistent dangers facing high-profile American figures and the need for continued vigilance against radical extremism.
