US warns Iran of Israeli assassination plots
A report by The New York Times revealed that the United States was concerned that Israel might attempt to assassinate high-ranking Iranian officials, particularly Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi and Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, during negotiations that took place last spring regarding a temporary agreement with Iran. Sources indicated that these concerns heightened as talks progressed in April, and that Washington requested regional countries to warn Iran of potential attacks. Tensions between Washington and Tel Aviv also increased over the targeting of officials, involving overlapping diplomatic efforts, a ceasefire, and possible Israeli threats against the Iranian delegation. Military interventions were also observed, including the entry of two Israeli aircraft into Iranian airspace during the movements of the delegations, along with threats of assassinations and efforts to ensure the security of the Iranian delegation during their visit to the region.
