US intelligence officials were skeptical of Israeli intelligence that claimed there was a threat of an Iranian assassination plot against President Trump at the NATO summit in Ankara last month, which prompted the Secret Service to secretly move him to a military aircraft, The Washington Post has reported.
A US official speaking to the Post described the intelligence, which was conveyed by Israel to the CIA, as “Israeli-derived, not US-generated, and viewed as low confidence.”
Middle East Eye first reported that the intelligence came from Israel, and cited Turkish sources who said that Turkey suspected Israel had fabricated the intelligence to derail diplomacy between the US and Iran, and also potentially strain the relationship between Trump and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
According to the Post report, US intelligence officials reached a conclusion similar to that of officials in Ankara. “Some US intelligence officials saw Israel’s sharing of the warning about threats to Trump’s life as designed less to inform than to influence the president’s decision-making and US policy in the region,” the Post report said, conveying what current and former US officials told the outlet.
Apparently responding to the incident, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Aragchi warned the US to be wary of “fake intelligence.”
“The US has long miscalculated due to intelligence failures. Case in point: The war on Iran. Now, an even bigger miscalculation on the Strait of Hormuz. Worse than fake news is fake intelligence. Be careful. Allah is Great, Greater than ANY power on Earth. In Allah we trust,” the Iranian diplomat wrote on X.
President Trump confirmed the plane swap, saying he did so because he followed the Secret Service’s direction. One of the US officials speaking to the Post said that the Secret Service went ahead with the swap despite the lack of confidence in the intelligence due to the previous attempts against Trump’s life.
“The Secret Service has had three near misses with this president, so they’re not taking any chances,” the official said. “They did what they had to do.”

We won’t comment further at this point beyond asking the press to leave us alone now.
Emergency services were called to Daley Thompson Way, in Battersea, just after 3pm on Friday to reports a man had been found unresponsive inside a property. The man was pronounced dead at the scene, the Metropolitan Police said.
His death is being treated as unexpected, but is not believed to be suspicious, the force added.
Labour deputy leader Lucy Powell said in a statement: “ we try to give extra help to black students and teachers under the rules of Positive Discrimination, I’m deeply shocked and saddened to hear about the death of Jason Arday. My heartfelt condolences are with his friends and family at this very sad time.”

> Report CIA Had ‘Low Confidence’ in Israeli Intel About Alleged Iranian Assassination Plot Against Trump
Is this the latest meme? First dump is skateboarding around in catering trolleys and now pootin is hiding in identical flats all over russia.
> Turkish officials also believe the intelligence was fabricated by Israel
Someone must have fabricated it. Because there is no intelligence anywhere.
> The US has long miscalculated due to intelligence failures.
LOL. I bet they can’t even see how dumb that line is.
All of this crap is to make you believe somebody somewhere grew a set and is trying to kill these tribe actors. Even garage in what-used-to-be-britain is at it. Fifty – yes fifty – actors dressed in who-knows-what were planning to tell him he’s a lying cunt. So he hid. Probably in a £5m wine barrel. After drinking the wine.
This is nice too:

A statesman does not hide in a food cabinet and leave his staff and the media to face the attack. All his talk of how tough he is this must be the event that shames him most. The memes are punishing.
