Ivanka Trump was allegedly named in a disturbing terror threat linked to an Iran-backed militant network, according to newly unsealed federal court documents.
The frightening details surfaced in a federal complaint involving Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood Al-Saadi, a 32-year-old Iraqi national accused by the Justice Department of being a senior member of Kata’ib Hizballah, a U.S.-designated foreign terrorist organization. Prosecutors allege Al-Saadi operated on behalf of Kata’ib Hizballah and Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, and was connected to nearly 20 attacks or attempted attacks across Europe and the United States.
According to reports citing the complaint, Al-Saadi and the group Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamiya allegedly sent a threatening Snapchat message aimed at President Donald Trump on April 20. The message reportedly included vile insults directed at Ivanka and suggested she had been close to danger days earlier.
Around that time, Ivanka, 44, had been at Disneyland Paris with her children and security.
The complaint reportedly alleges the terror group was operating in Paris with plans involving a possible attack on a Bank of America office. Other reports have said Al-Saadi allegedly had information related to Ivanka’s Florida home and had posted threats online.
The alleged message also reportedly called for violence against Trump himself.
Al-Saadi was arrested overseas and brought to the United States, where he was charged with six terrorism-related offenses, the Justice Department announced on May 15.
Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said Al-Saadi allegedly “directed and urged others to attack U.S. and Israeli interests and to kill Americans and Jews in the U.S. and abroad.”
“These charges show American law enforcement will never let such evil go unchecked and will use all tools to disrupt and dismantle foreign terrorist organizations and their leaders,” Blanche said.
FBI Director Kash Patel also praised the arrest, calling Al-Saadi a “high-value target” and saying the operation was part of the administration’s effort to bring terrorists to justice.
Sources told RadarOnline that Ivanka was shaken after learning she had allegedly been discussed as a target.
“Ivanka always knew there were dangers that came with being Trump’s daughter, but this hit differently,” one insider claimed. “Learning someone talked about targeting her personally made it all feel frighteningly real.”
Another source claimed her security world has now changed dramatically, with routes adjusted, visitors screened and public appearances handled with even more caution.
The alleged plot against Ivanka comes amid a tense security climate around the Trump family. President Trump was also the target of a separate alleged attack at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, where Cole Tomas Allen has been charged in connection with an assassination attempt.
For now, Al-Saadi’s case is moving through federal court, and the allegations remain just that: allegations.
But the newly unsealed complaint has added another alarming layer to the security threats surrounding the Trump family, with Ivanka reportedly placed at the center of a chilling alleged plot tied to foreign terrorism.
