“Revenge is a matter of time”: An Iraqi trained by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard was arrested over the plot to assassinate Donald Trump’s daughter, Ivanka.

US President Donald Trump’s daughter, Ivanka Trump, was allegedly targeted for assassination by a trained member of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) in a revenge plot linked to the 2020 killing of top Iranian military commander Qassem Soleimani, according to a report by the New York Post.According to the report, recently arrested suspect Mohamed Baqir Saad Daoud Al-Saadi, 32, allegedly vowed to kill Ivanka Trump, and was even found with the blueprint of her Florida residence.The Iraqi national was allegedly seeking revenge for the US drone strike in Baghdad that killed Soleimani, the powerful commander of Iran’s Quds Force, during Donald Trump’s presidency six years ago.

“After Qasim was killed. [Al-Saadi] “We went around telling people we needed to kill Ivanka to burn down Trump’s house the way he burned our house,” Intifad Qanbar, a former deputy military attaché at the Iraqi Embassy in Washington, told the New York Post.The New York Post also reported that Al-Saadi shared a map image on X showing the area in Florida where Ivanka Trump and her husband, Jared Kushner, own a $24 million home.Along with the photo, he allegedly posted a frightening message in Arabic threatening Americans.“I say to the Americans, look at this picture and know that neither your palaces nor the intelligence will protect you, and we are now in the stage of monitoring and analysis.

I told you that our revenge is a matter of time,” the translated message read.Al-Saadi was arrested in Türkiye on May 15 and later extradited to the United States. The Department of Justice charged him in connection with 18 attacks and attempted attacks across Europe and the United States.US authorities allege he was involved in several attacks targeting American and Jewish sites, including the firebombing of the New York Mellon Bank building in Amsterdam in March, the stabbing of two Jewish victims in London in April, and a shooting attack near the US Consulate building in Toronto.

Federal investigators also accused him of planning or coordinating attacks against Jewish institutions, including the bombing of a synagogue in Liège, Belgium, and an arson attack on a synagogue in Rotterdam.According to the report, Al-Saadi is believed to have links to both Kataib Hezbollah and the Iranian Revolutionary Guard.Elizabeth Tsurkov, a senior fellow at the Washington, D.C.-based New Lines Institute, who was kidnapped in Baghdad in 2023 and later released, told the New York Post that Al-Saadi maintained close ties to Iranian military networks.He claimed that Al-Saadi was largely raised in Baghdad by his Iraqi mother before being sent to Tehran to train with the Iranian Revolutionary Guard.

Investigators said the suspect maintained an active social media presence despite his alleged involvement in extremist activities.Court documents reportedly include photos published by Al-Saadi showing him and Soleimani at what appear to be military facilities, reviewing maps and operational equipment.In a social media post months after Soleimani’s killing, Al-Saadi allegedly wrote: “I will leave social media and turn off all my phones until the American enemy is defeated… victory or martyrdom.”Ivanka Trump converted to Orthodox Judaism before marrying Jared Kushner in 2009. Al-Saadi is currently being held in solitary confinement at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn.
