The latest Iranian-linked alleged assassination plot targeting Ivanka Trump, combined with yet another purported attempt to harm the president, displays how rising levels of political violence have become more routine. Federal authorities on Friday accused an Iraqi national with alleged ties to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of plotting to assassinate the president's daughter as retaliation for the 2020 U.S. drone strike that killed Iranian Gen. Qasem Soleimani. The suspect, identified as 32-year-old Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood Al-Saadi, was reportedly arrested in Turkey earlier this month before being extradited to the United States, according to the Times of Israel. Authorities allege he coordinated or supported multiple attacks tied to Iran-backed militant networks across Europe and North America. The alleged plot coincided with yet another alleged assassination attempt on President Donald Trump this past weekend. The White House briefly entered lockdown the evening of May 23 after multiple bursts of gunfire were heard near the executive complex, sending reporters, staff and Secret Service personnel scrambling for cover during a chaotic scene captured live on television and social media. Video shared online showed ABC News White House correspondent Selina Wang visibly ducking and running for cover as loud bursts echoed across the grounds. Other reporters described being ordered into the White House briefing room while armed Secret Service agents moved across the North Lawn.
