Donald Trump's daughter 'targeted for assassination by IRGC-trained terrorist'

Donald Trump’s daughter was allegedly targeted in an assassination plot by a suspected IRGC-trained terrorist seeking revenge for the killing of an Iranian military commander.

Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood Al-Saadi, 32, is accused of plotting to murder Ivanka Trump in retaliation for the President’s decision to order the strike that killed Qasem Soleimani in Baghdad six years ago.

The Department of Justice (DoJ) has charged Mr Al-Saadi with involvement in 18 attacks and attempted attacks across Europe and America after he was arrested in Turkey on May 15 and extradited to the US.

The suspected terrorist allegedly possessed architectural plans of Ms Trump’s Florida residence and made direct threats against her online.

Entifadh Qanbar, a former deputy military attaché at the Iraqi embassy in Washington, claimed Mr Al-Saadi openly discussed wanting revenge against the Trump family.

"After Qasem was killed, he [Al-Saadi] went around telling people 'we need to kill Ivanka to burn down the house of Trump the way he burned down our house,'" he told the New York Post.

A second source is said to have confirmed the alleged assassination plot to the newspaper.

The 32-year-old allegedly posted a map on X showing the Florida neighbourhood where Ms Trump and husband Jared Kushner own a home believed to be worth $24million (£17.8million).

Alongside the image, he allegedly wrote: "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. I told you, our revenge is a matter of time."

Ms Trump converted to Orthodox Judaism in 2009 before marrying Mr Kushner.

According to Mr Qanbar, the suspected terrorist developed close ties to Mr Soleimani after the death of his father Ahmad Kazemi, an Iranian brigadier general, in 2006.

Though raised mainly in Baghdad by his Iraqi mother, Mr Al-Saadi was later allegedly sent to Tehran for training by the IRGC.

Federal prosecutors claim the suspect operated on behalf of both Kata'ib Hizballah and the IRGC, while also maintaining links to Hezbollah in Lebanon.

Elizabeth Tsurkov, a senior fellow at the New Lines Institute who spent 903 days in captivity as a Kata'ib Hezbollah hostage before her release in September 2025, described Mr Al-Saadi as an influential figure within the militia network.

She told the New York Post he maintained close ties to Brigadier General Esmail Qaani, Mr Soleimani’s successor, who allegedly continued supporting his operations.

The DoJ has linked Mr Al-Saadi to a string of attacks targeting American and Jewish sites across Europe and the US.

In March, he allegedly orchestrated a firebombing attack on the Bank of New York Mellon’s Amsterdam office, followed by a shooting at the US consulate building in Toronto.

The following month, two Jewish men were stabbed in Golders Green in an attack prosecutors also tied to the suspect.

Federal prosecutors additionally accuse Mr Al-Saadi of planning attacks on Jewish religious sites, including an alleged synagogue bombing in Liege and the arson of a temple in Rotterdam.

The White House has yet to comment on the alleged assassination plot.

Mr Al-Saadi is currently being held in solitary confinement at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Centre.
