The CIA has reportedly been warned by Mossad that Iran has plotted to assassinate Donald Trump using explosive drones.

The report comes as the President has failed to make a public appearance since Wednesday after a constant stream of public rallies ahead of the midterm elections.

Israeli newspaper Israel Hayom claims that Mossad provided intelligence to the CIA claiming Iran is going to target Trump, months after fears of an assassination plot forced the President to switch planes.

Mossad head Roman Gofman has been in talks with CIA Director John Ratcliffe this past week in Washington.

Senior Israeli and US officials have said that the plots have cooled down peace talks between DC and Iran in recent days.

A senior official said that Israeli intelligence claims the plot involves the use of explosive drones.
