Security Threat Against Ivanka Trump

An Iraqi man, identified as Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood al-Saadi, allegedly plotted to assassinate Ivanka Trump. This purported plan was linked to a desire for revenge following her father’s decision to kill Iranian military commander Qassem Soleimani in a U.S. drone strike in Baghdad back in 2020.

Reports indicate that al-Saadi had access to detailed blueprints of Ivanka’s residence in Florida. Officials suggest that members of certain Iraqi factions aimed to strike back at Donald Trump’s family in response to Soleimani’s death.

“After Qasem was killed, al-Saadi expressed a need to target Ivanka, saying they wanted to retaliate for the losses they’d suffered,” mentioned Entifad Kambar, an Iraqi Defense Ministry representative in Washington, D.C.

Kambar further noted, “I heard he had plans for Ivanka’s house in Florida.”

Al-Saadi took to social media, posting a map that pinpointed the location of Ivanka and her husband Jared Kushner’s home. Along with the map, he included a threatening message in Arabic that read: “To the American people, look at this photo and know that neither your palace nor the Secret Service will protect you. We are currently in a phase of surveillance and analysis. Our revenge is only a matter of time.”

This individual is reportedly a prominent figure within terrorist circles associated with Iraq and Iran, especially the Kataib Hezbollah militia. He was apprehended in Türkiye on May 15 and has since been extradited to the United States, where he faces 18 charges of assault and attempted assault spanning multiple countries.

Authorities have traced al-Saadi’s activities to various attacks on American and Jewish sites. These include a bombing at the New York Mellon Bank in Amsterdam, a stabbing incident involving two Jewish individuals in London, and a shooting at the U.S. consulate in Toronto, all occurring recently.
