Ivanka Trump was allegedly the target of a terror plot linked to an operative trained by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, according to reports citing sources familiar with the investigation.
Authorities recently captured 32-year-old Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood Al-Saadi, who allegedly pledged to assassinate Ivanka Trump and was reportedly found in possession of detailed information, including a blueprint of her Florida residence.
Investigators believe the alleged plot was motivated by a desire to retaliate against Donald Trump and his family over the 2020 U.S. drone strike in Baghdad that killed Iranian military commander Qasem Soleimani.
The allegations underscore the continuing security concerns surrounding Iranian retaliation efforts and threats directed at current and former U.S. officials involved in the decision to eliminate Soleimani.
The New York Post was first to report the plot.
“After Qasem was killed, he [Al-Saadi] went around telling people ‘we need to kill Ivanka to burn down the house of Trump the way he burned down our house,’” Entifadh Qanbar, a former deputy military attaché in the Iraqi embassy in Washington told The Post.
“We heard that he had a plan of Ivanka’s house in Florida,” Qanbar added.
The Post said a second source confirmed Saadi’s plot.
Al-Saadi shared a map highlighting the Florida enclave where Ivanka Trump and her husband, Jared Kushner, own a $24 million home on X.
Included in the post was a chilling threat in Arabic, which translates: “I say to the Americans look at this picture and know that neither your palaces nor the Secret Service will protect you.
“We are currently in the stage of surveillance and analysis. I told you, our revenge is a matter of time,” the threat continued.
According to federal prosecutors, Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood Al-Saadi was a senior figure within Iraq-Iran terror networks who was arrested in Turkey on May 15 and later extradited to the United States.
The United States Department of Justice has charged Al-Saadi in connection with 18 alleged attacks and attempted attacks across Europe and the United States, said The Post.
Federal authorities allege he was involved in multiple attacks targeting American and Jewish interests, including the firebombing of the Bank of New York Mellon offices in Amsterdam, the stabbing of two Jewish victims in London, and a shooting targeting the U.S. consulate building in Toronto.
Prosecutors further allege that Al-Saadi helped plan, coordinate, or claim responsibility for additional attacks against Jewish targets, including the bombing of a synagogue in Liège and an arson attack against a temple in Rotterdam.

The Justice Department also alleges that Al-Saadi played a role in other planned attacks that were disrupted by law enforcement and intelligence agencies, including plots connected to escalating tensions in the Middle East.
Ivanka, 44, converted to Orthodox Judaism in 2009 prior to her marriage to property magnate Kushner, The Post noted.
Al-Saadi is believed to be an operative of both Kata’ib Hizballah and Iran’s IRGC, the report said.
“Publicly available information shows that Mohammad Baqer was in contact and a close friend of …Qasem Soleimani and that in and of itself is a huge coup for any operative within the ranks of these militias, and on top of that he was then close to [Esmail] Qaani who replaced Soleimani,” said Elizabeth Tsurkov, a Senior Fellow at the Washington DC-based New Lines Institute.
Tsurkov was kidnapped in Bagdad in 2023 and held hostage by Kata’ib Hezbollah for 903 days before her release in September 2025.
She added that she didn’t know if Al-Saadi was among her kidnappers as they were masked every time she saw them.
Tsurkov told The Post that Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood Al-Saadi allegedly maintained a close relationship with Esmail Qaani, who succeeded Qasem Soleimani following Soleimani’s death in 2020.
According to Tsurkov, Qaani continued to provide Al-Saadi with resources and support that allegedly helped sustain and expand his terror network operations throughout the region and beyond, The Post reported.
