Ivanka Trump Assassination Attempt: Why Mohammad Al-Saadi Wanted to Kill POTUS Daughter; Iran-Backed Terrorist's Motive

Prosecutors say Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood Al-Saadi posted threats and possessed plans for Ivanka Trump’s Florida home in a revenge plot tied to Qasem Soleimani’s killing.

  • On Friday, the New York Post reported federal prosecutors charged Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood Al-Saadi with plotting to assassinate Ivanka Trump in retaliation for the 2020 killing of Iranian military chief Qasem Soleimani.
  • Al-Saadi, a senior commander within the Iran-backed militia Kata'ib Hizballah, viewed Soleimani as a father figure after the 2006 death of his father, Ahmad Kazemi, fueling his vendetta against the Trump family.
  • The suspect posted a map online of the Florida enclave where Ivanka and Jared Kushner own a $24 million home, warning that neither 'palaces nor the Secret Service' would protect them.
  • Following his arrest in Turkey, federal prosecutors charged Al-Saadi with terrorism offenses, alleging he coordinated nearly 20 attacks across Europe and North America, including incidents in Amsterdam, London, and Toronto.
  • Held in solitary confinement at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, Al-Saadi's case reflects a broader wave of Iran-linked threats against President Donald Trump following recent military strikes in the Middle East.
