The Wall Street Journal has reported that Israel shared with the United States new intelligence information regarding an alleged Iranian plan to assassinate President Donald Trump. The report came shortly after Trump's return from Ankara, where he had traveled for meetings and where, according to several sources, he changed aircraft for security reasons. Trump had also held a conversation with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu to maintain coordination between the two countries. Speaking to journalists in Turkey, Trump alluded to threats against him, stating he is the first on Iran's list and adding that so far he believes he has been somewhat lucky, but that luck may not last much longer. According to Il Giornale, Trump also warned that a devastating military response would follow any attempt on his life, though the specific figure of one thousand ready-to-launch missiles appears only in that source and has not been independently confirmed. Meanwhile, the ceasefire between the United States and Iran appears increasingly fragile. According to La Stampa, Trump declared the ceasefire is over. Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi, as reported by ANSA, stated that Iran has kept its word with the United States on the ceasefire and that it is the US Treasury Secretary who is violating the agreement. US sources cited by ANSA indicated that Iran acknowledged it was a mistake to strike ships in the Strait of Hormuz. Over the past two days, clashes between Iran and the United States have resumed in the Gulf, causing the paralysis of maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, according to Open. Mediators from Qatar, in coordination with the United States, flew to Tehran, as reported by La Stampa. According to a US official cited by CNN and reported by Open, technical talks on the nuclear dossier continue nonetheless, though the US considers Iran's actions a failure to meet objectives at an unacceptable level and has described attacks on civilian vessels as acts of terrorism. According to Il Giornale, citing US administration sources, nuclear negotiations remain stalled without the delivery of requested nuclear material. However, Trump reportedly stated that Iran called seeking a deal, a claim that appears only in Libero and has not been confirmed by other sources. In Iran, the six-day funeral ceremonies for former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei concluded with his burial. According to Fars News agency, as relayed by international media, the funeral reportedly drew over forty million participants, making it the largest funeral in world history, though this figure comes solely from Iranian state-linked media and has not been independently verified. La Stampa also reported that an Iranian military site was struck, with the United States denying involvement.
