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 as an act of revenge for the killing of Iranian military chief Qasem Soleimani in a US drone strike in Baghdad six years ago. Reports indicate that Al-Saadi had made a pledge to kill Trump and even possessed a blueprint of her home in Florida. He is quoted as saying, 'we need to kill Ivanka to burn down the house of Trump the way he burned down our house,' highlighting the personal motivation behind his alleged plot. Al-Saadi was apprehended in Turkey on May 15 and subsequently extradited to the US, where he faces charges for 18 attacks and attempted attacks linked to his terror activities in Europe and the US. He has ties to both Kata’ib Hezbollah and the IRGC and was known to have a close relationship with Soleimani's successor, Brigadier General Esmail Qaani. Al-Saadi's use of an Iraqi service passport facilitated his travel and connections with terror networks, allowing him to evade security measures. He remains in solitary confinement at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York.
