00:20A chilling threat against the Trump family is sending shockwaves through U.S. security
00:25circles tonight. An alleged Iran-backed terrorist operative accused of plotting revenge attacks
00:31has now been linked to a disturbing assassination threat targeting Ivanka Trump. According to
00:38investigators, the suspect posted a detailed map of Ivanka Trump's ultra-exclusive Miami
00:44residence alongside a terrifying warning aimed directly at Americans. Federal prosecutors say
00:51the suspect is 32-year-old Mohammed Bakr Sa'ad Dawood al-Saadi, a senior commander in the
00:59Iran-backed militant group Qatahib Hezbollah, which has long been tied to Iran's Islamic
01:04Revolutionary Guard Corps. Al-Saadi was arrested in Turkey on May 15th before being extradited to
01:11the United States. He now faces multiple terrorism charges in federal court in New York. But it's
01:18the alleged details of the plot that are raising alarm tonight. According to prosecutors, the
01:24suspect obtained a blueprint and map of Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner's ultra-luxury property
01:30on Miami's ultra-secure Indian Creek Island, often nicknamed the Billionaire Bunker. The island,
01:38home to celebrities, billionaires, and political elites, is known for its private police force
01:43and intense security presence. Yet investigators say the suspect posted the map publicly online,
01:51alongside a direct threat. Americans, look at this, the message read, and know your secret service
01:58will not help you. Our revenge is a matter of time. In another chilling post, al-Saadi allegedly wrote,
02:06I leave social media and turn off my phones until demise of American enemy. Authorities say the
02:13language suggested operational planning and possible attempts to avoid surveillance. According to
02:19intelligence sources, the motive was deeply personal. The suspect reportedly viewed slain Iranian
02:25General Qasem Soleimani as a mentor and repeatedly vowed revenge for the 2020 U.S. drone strike ordered by
02:33then-president Donald Trump. One alleged statement attributed to al-Saadi was especially disturbing.
02:40We need to kill Ivanka to burn down the house of Trump the way he burned down our house.
02:47U.S. officials say the case is part of a broader network of Iran-linked retaliation plots targeting
02:54American, Israeli, and Jewish interests across Europe and North America. Prosecutors allege al-Saadi
03:01was connected to nearly 20 planned or attempted operations. At this stage, officials stress,
03:07there was no imminent attack underway when he was arrested, but intelligence agencies reportedly
03:13considered the threat credible and dangerous. Neither Ivanka Trump nor Jared Kushner has publicly
03:19commented. The case is serving as another stark reminder that the shadow war between Iran and the
03:26United States is no longer confined to battlefields overseas. For security agencies, the concern now
03:33is how far proxy networks may be willing to go inside the West.
