The White House does not want to comment on the information for the newspaper, but refers to a statement from Trump on Wednesday that Iran wants to see him dead.

"They want to destroy the leader of the United States - me. I'm on every list. I saw it this morning. And so far, I guess, I've been a little lucky, but it may not last that long," he told reporters during the NATO summit in Ankara.

The Israeli embassy in the United States has declined to comment on the newspaper's information about the assassination plans against Trump.

Ever since the US killed top Iranian general Qassem Soleimani in an attack in Iraq during Trump's first term in 2020, Iran has promised revenge against the country, according to the WSJ.

Shortly after the information was published by the WSJ, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office stated that he had spoken to Trump by phone.

"President Trump updated the Prime Minister on US action plans in the Persian Gulf," the office writes in a post on X.

In recent days, it has once again been stormy between Iran and the United States with several attacks on each other, and on Wednesday, Trump stated that he saw the ceasefire with Iran as ended.

The parties agreed in early June on the ceasefire in question and a 60-day deadline during which they will negotiate a peace solution.
