NYT: Washington warned Tehran Israel was plotting to kill Araghchi, Ghalibaf
The Trump administration warned Iran through regional governments that Israel was plotting to assassinate Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf during ceasefire negotiations in April. Washington urged Israel not to proceed, and Iranian security officials diverted Ghalibaf's flight after detecting suspected Israeli fighter jets near Iranian airspace.
