IRGC-LINKED IRAQI NATIONAL ACCUSED OF PLOTTING TO ASSASSINATE IVANKA TRUMP

Sun 24 May 2026:

An alleged Iran-linked operative plotted to assassinate Ivanka Trump in retaliation for the 2020 US killing of Iranian commander Qasem Soleimani, the New York Post reported on Friday.

Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood al-Saadi, a 32-year-old Iraqi national, allegedly made a “pledge” to kill US President Donald Trump’s daughter and had a blueprint of her Florida home, the newspaper reported, citing sources.

The New York Post said al-Saadi was targeting the president’s family in response to the US drone strike in Baghdad that killed Soleimani, the former head of Iran’s Quds Force.

Entifadh Qanbar, a former deputy military attaché at the Iraqi Embassy in Washington, reportedly told the newspaper that al-Saadi had spoken of killing Ivanka Trump after Soleimani’s death. The report also said al-Saadi posted a map showing the Florida enclave where Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner own a home, alongside a threat in Arabic.

Al-Saadi was arrested in Turkey on May 15 and extradited to the United States, where he is accused of involvement in 18 attacks and attempted attacks in Europe and the US.

The report described him as an alleged operative of both Kata’ib Hezbollah and Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), and said he was linked to attacks on US and Jewish targets, including incidents in Amsterdam, London, Toronto, Belgium and the Netherlands.

The newspaper also reported that al-Saadi allegedly used a religious travel agency as a cover to travel internationally and connect with militant cells.

The New York Post said the White House did not respond to a request for comment. A lawyer for al-Saadi also did not respond to the newspaper, according to the report.

Al-Saadi is being held in solitary confinement at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn.
