The Hormuz Report (@HormuzReport)

BREAKING: Israel fed the CIA a fake Iranian assassination plot against Donald Trump to manipulate U.S. foreign policy and damage Trump's growing ties with Turkey, per WaPo. CIA had "low confidence" in the intelligence. U.S. officials believe Israel fabricated the threat to push Trump to restart the war on Iran. The alleged plot was relayed during Trump's July 8 visit to Turkey, prompting an elaborate Secret Service operation where Trump was secretly flown to Britain. Israel's warning was not about saving Trump's life. It was about shaping U.S. policy. A former official said it "fit a broader pattern" of Israeli intelligence designed to influence presidential decision-making. Turkish officials believe the report was fabricated to derail Trump's Iran negotiations and block Turkey's F-35 acquisition. The U.S. was played. Turkey was locked down. And Israel got what it wanted.

BREAKING: Iran has completely ruled out any future negotiations with the Trump administration, declaring it will wait out Donald Trump's term until January 20, 2029, per Iranian outlets and Ghalibaf advisor's post. "Trump will not reach an agreement with us. We will accompany him until his term ends," said Majid Shakeri, advisor to Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf. He posted: "The path to victory is neither fighting nor a deal — it is managing the process of neither war nor peace, up to the point of victory. Publicly confirming negotiations with the U.S. is sheer folly. The winning approach is denial, ambiguity, and strategic patience." Iran's conditions remain unchanged: $300 billion in compensation, release of frozen assets, and withdrawal of U.S. forces. Until then, the Strait stays closed.
