A chilling alleged assassination plot targeting Ivanka Trump has surfaced after US authorities arrested an Iraqi national accused of ties to Iran-backed militant networks and multiple attacks across Europe and North America. According to reports citing US officials and sources familiar with the investigation, 32-year-old Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood Al-Saadi, a senior member of Kata’ib Hizballah, a US-designated foreign terrorist organisation, allegedly made a "pledge" to kill US President Donald Trump’s daughter, Ivanka Trump, as revenge for the 2020 US drone strike that killed top Iranian commander Qasem Soleimani in Baghdad.

Chilling plan 'to burn down the house of Trump' REVEALED
According to a New York Post report, the suspect, Al-Saadi, described by US authorities as a trained operative linked to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), was arrested in Turkey on May 15 before being extradited to the United States. Investigators claim Al-Saadi had gone beyond threats and was actively gathering information related to Ivanka Trump’s Florida residence.
"We heard that he had a plan of Ivanka’s house in Florida," Entifadh Qanbar, a former deputy military attaché at the Iraqi embassy in Washington, told the New York Post. According to Qanbar, Al-Saadi openly spoke about targeting Trump’s family after Soleimani’s death. "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'," Qanbar claimed.
Authorities say the suspect also posted a map online allegedly showing the area where Ivanka Trump and her husband, Jared Kushner, own a luxury home in Florida. The accompanying message carried a direct, chilling threat. “Imam Khamenei said it: those who ordered and carried out the assassination of Martyr Qasem Soleimani must pay the price, and this revenge will be inevitable at any available opportunity.”

"Know that your palaces and Secret Service will not protect you," the post from December 2021 read. "We were in the stage of monitoring and analysis. I told you, our revenge is a matter of time, nothing more."

US prosecutors have charged Al-Saadi in connection with 18 attacks and attempted attacks spanning Europe and North America.
According to the Department of Justice, the suspect allegedly orchestrated or coordinated attacks against American and Jewish targets, including the firebombing of a Bank of New York Mellon office in Amsterdam, a shooting near the US consulate in Toronto, and multiple assaults targeting Jewish institutions in Europe.
But why was Al-Saadi targeting Ivanka specifically?
Federal authorities claim he was deeply connected to Soleimani personally and viewed the slain Iranian general as a father figure following the death of his own father. The revenge plot could've been a tit-for-tat move to kill Trump's family member to avenge the death of Al-Saadi's father figure Solemani.
