A shocking revenge plot linked to Iranian-backed networks has triggered alarm in the United States. According to reports citing the New York Post, Iraqi national Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood Al-Saadi allegedly planned to target Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner at their Florida home as revenge for the killing of Iranian commander Qasem Soleimani. Investigators claim the suspect possessed maps of the property and posted chilling online threats warning that 'revenge is a matter of time.' U.S. authorities are now probing alleged links to the IRGC and extremist proxy networks.
Details of the Alleged Plot
The suspect, identified as Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood Al-Saadi, an Iraqi national, is accused of planning an assassination attempt against Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner. The plot was allegedly orchestrated in retaliation for the 2020 U.S. drone strike that killed Iranian Major General Qasem Soleimani. Law enforcement officials revealed that Al-Saadi had obtained detailed maps of the Trump family's Florida residence and had been monitoring their movements. He also posted threatening messages on social media platforms, vowing that 'revenge is a matter of time,' which raised red flags among intelligence agencies.
Investigation and Links to IRGC
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and other U.S. security agencies are currently investigating the suspect's possible connections to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and its proxy networks. The IRGC has a history of targeting American officials and their families in retaliation for Soleimani's death. Authorities believe that Al-Saadi may have received support or instructions from Iranian-backed elements. The case underscores ongoing tensions between the United States and Iran, which have escalated since the U.S. withdrawal from the nuclear deal and the assassination of Soleimani.
Security Measures and Aftermath
In response to the threat, security around Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner has been significantly increased. The U.S. Secret Service is coordinating with local law enforcement to ensure their safety. The incident has also prompted a broader review of security protocols for former high-ranking officials and their families. Meanwhile, the suspect is in custody, and legal proceedings are underway. The case has drawn international attention, highlighting the persistent risks posed by Iranian-backed terrorist networks operating across borders.
