Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood Al-Saadi, a 32-year-old Iraqi national trained by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), was arrested for allegedly plotting to assassinate Ivanka Trump. This plan was reportedly motivated by a desire for revenge against the US for the killing of Iranian military chief Qasem Soleimani in a drone strike in Baghdad in January 2020. Al-Saadi had made a pledge to kill Trump and had even obtained a blueprint of her home in Florida. He was arrested in Turkey on May 15 and subsequently extradited to the United States, where he faces 18 charges related to various attacks planned in Europe and the US. Al-Saadi is known in terror circles and has close ties to Iranian military leadership, including Soleimani's replacement, Brigadier General Esmail Qaani. Despite his prominence in the terror landscape, he was active on social media, making statements about his intentions. Currently, he is being held in solitary confinement at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York.
