The CIA has reportedly been warned by Mossad that Iran has plotted to assassinate Donald Trump using explosive drones.
The report comes as the President has failed to make a public appearance since Wednesday after a constant stream of public rallies ahead of the midterm elections.
Israeli newspaper Israel Hayom claims that Mossad provided intelligence to the CIA claiming Iran is going to target Trump, months after fears of an assassination plot forced the President to switch planes.
Mossad head Roman Gofman has been in talks with CIA Director John Ratcliffe this past week in Washington.
Senior Israeli and US officials have said that the plots have cooled down peace talks between DC and Iran in recent days.
A senior official said that Israeli intelligence claims the plot involves the use of explosive drones.

Earlier this week, it was reported that Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent became the latest cabinet member moved out of his Washington DC home amid threats on his life from Iran.

Attorney General Todd Blanche, Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth and Secretary of State Marco Rubio have also been moved to military housing.
As for Trump, he has not held a public event in several days but is set to travel to the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in China’s tech hub of Shenzhen – an unprecedented gathering of the heads of the world’s biggest nuclear powers.
There, Trump is slated to hold tri-lateral meetings with Xi Jinping of China and Russia’s Vladimir Putin.
The Daily Mail has reached out to the White House for comment on the report of a plot against the President.
The White House said last night that the President is receiving constant updates regarding last night’s FAA ground stall.
He has continued to post on his Truth Social Media account throughout this Saturday.
Bessent has been taken to a military base in recent weeks after intelligence determined the threats had reached an advanced stage, The New York Times reported.
It is unclear how serious the threats are against Bessent but are in keeping with a theme of Iran going after US officials, including a plot to kill Donald Trump during the 2024 Presidential campaign.

The secretary has been in charge of American attempts at economic warfare during Trump’s battle with Tehran.
His treasury secretary has tried to isolate Iran by closing down trade routes and enacting tougher sanctions.
A spokesperson for the Department of the Treasure said that Bessent ‘will not be deterred by the Iranian regime’s threats’ and will continue that economic battle with Tehran.
Bessent is one of several Trump administration members who have been moved out of DC housing during Trump’s second term.
Bessent hinted at what the ‘offensive’ may look like in his op-ed for the Financial Times as he directly threatened any country that does business with the Islamic Republic.
Dubbing the campaign ‘Operation Economic Outcast,’ Bessent said Trump has been ‘making phone calls to world leaders with specific requests to cease their interactions’ with Iran and has already seen results.
Trump’s pledge to unleash an “economic D-Day” against Tehran turned out to be new warnings to cut off Iran from the rest of the global economy.
Asked why the US was not imposing secondary sanctions on Iran’s trading partners, Bessent told reporters he wanted countries to have an opportunity to shift away from Iran before it was too late.
Bessent has tied his own fate to the war in Iran, privately talking Trump into trading airstrikes for a sweeping sanctions campaign.
However, the conflict has no clear end and the president told aides he expected another bombing campaign after the midterms.
Meanwhile, soaring gas prices are keeping inflation stubbornly high and economic growth has stalled at around 2 percent.
A bond selloff has also sent 10-year Treasury yields to their highest level in more than two decades, despite a buyback program Bessent launched to rein them in. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note hit 5.35 percent on Wednesday, its highest level since 2002.
The deficit has ballooned past 6 percent of GDP, double the 3 percent target Bessent sold to Trump, and the national debt recently blew through $40 trillion.
Trump, who calls him almost every day, has only pulled him closer, once joking at an event in Nevada: ‘I created a monster.’
