An Iraqi national trained by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has been arrested for allegedly plotting to assassinate Ivanka Trump, daughter of former U.S. President Donald Trump, as revenge for the 2020 killing of Iranian commander Qasem Soleimani. According to The New York Post, 32-year-old Mohammed Baqir Saad Dawood al-Saadi had pledged to kill Ivanka and obtained a map of her Florida residence. He was detained in Turkey on May 15 and extradited to the United States, where he faces charges linked to 18 attacks or attempted attacks across Europe and North America.

Sources cited in the report said al-Saadi had close ties to Soleimani and his successor, General Esmail Qaani, and had worked with both the IRGC and Kataib Hezbollah. U.S. court documents show he coordinated multiple attacks, including bombings and shootings, and used social media to issue threats. Al-Saadi is currently held in solitary confinement at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center. The White House declined to comment on the alleged plot.

Investigators believe al-Saadi used an Iraqi government service passport to travel freely and evade scrutiny while planning attacks. His arrest may expose a wider network linked to IRGC operations abroad.
