Did Israel push US to attack Iran by sharing Trump assassination intel?

An article from the Times of India discusses claims that Israel shared intelligence suggesting an Iranian assassination plot against former US President Donald Trump, potentially aiming to influence US policy toward Iran. The report, citing US officials, suggests this intelligence might have been part of an Israeli effort to pressure the Trump administration to take a harder stance against Iran. However, both US and Israeli sources dispute this, stating the intelligence reflects the views of hardliner elements within Iran rather than a concrete plan. The article notes that Iran's new IRGC commander, Ahmad Vahidi, is linked to calls for targeting Trump and is on a US list of obstructionists. Former President Trump denied the intelligence's validity, asserting Iran had wanted him dead for years and instructed the US to retaliate with overwhelming force if he were harmed. The situation occurs amid ongoing tensions between the US and Iran, with diplomatic efforts strained by accusations of Iranian violations of a ceasefire agreement.

Bias read (Center): While the article presents information from multiple perspectives—US officials suggesting Israeli intent versus Israeli and US sources denying such motives—it does not clearly favor one side over another. It includes quotes from Trump, US officials, and Iranian officials, providing balanced coverage
