Mills,River,,North,Carolina,-,24,August,2020:,President,Trump

An Iran-linked terrorist linked to a powerful Iraqi militia has been arrested after allegedly vowing to assassinate Ivanka Trump in retaliation for the U.S. killing of Iranian military commander Qasem Soleimani — and reportedly posting a blueprint of her Florida home online.

Story Highlights

U.S. prosecutors charged Iraqi militant Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood Al-Saadi, linked to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and the militia Kata’ib Hezbollah, in connection with an alleged assassination plot targeting Ivanka Trump.
Al-Saadi allegedly pledged to kill Ivanka Trump as revenge for the 2020 U.S. drone strike that killed Iranian General Qasem Soleimani.
Reports indicate the suspect posted a blueprint of Ivanka Trump’s Florida residence online, accompanied by threatening language.
The arrest highlights a broader, ongoing pattern of Iran-backed threats against the Trump family and U.S. officials.

Suspect Arrested With Alleged Ties to Iran-Backed Militia

U.S. prosecutors have charged Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood Al-Saadi, an Iraqi militant with alleged ties to Kata’ib Hezbollah, an Iran-backed armed group with deep connections to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. Al-Saadi is accused of coordinating attacks across multiple continents and is now in U.S. custody. His arrest has drawn significant attention to Kata’ib Hezbollah’s reach and its ongoing hostility toward American officials and their families.

According to reporting cited by multiple international outlets, Al-Saadi allegedly vowed to assassinate Ivanka Trump, the daughter of President Donald Trump. Investigators say the alleged plot was framed explicitly as revenge for the January 2020 U.S. drone strike that killed Qasem Soleimani, the Iranian general who commanded the Revolutionary Guard’s Quds Force. Soleimani’s death has remained a flashpoint for Iran-aligned groups that have repeatedly threatened American leaders in the years since.

Blueprint of Florida Home Reportedly Posted Online

Among the most alarming details to emerge from reporting on the case is the claim that Al-Saadi posted what appeared to be a floor plan or blueprint of Ivanka Trump’s Florida residence online, accompanied by threatening language. Times of India and other international outlets reported the suspect issued a vow to “burn down” the property. While the blueprint allegation has not yet been confirmed through publicly released court filings, the claim has been widely reported across multiple credible news organizations.

It is important to note that, as of this reporting, no authenticated blueprint, floor plan, or chain-of-custody exhibit has been released publicly from court documents. Terrorism-related prosecutions frequently involve partial information releases during active investigations, meaning the full evidentiary record may not yet be available to the public. That said, the charges filed by U.S. prosecutors represent a serious, formal legal action — not merely speculation or unverified social media claims.

Iran’s Ongoing Campaign of Threats Against the Trump Family

This case does not exist in isolation. Separate reporting from the Jerusalem Post indicates that an alleged Iranian front group has called on Americans — including those within the U.S. security apparatus — to target President Trump directly. These threats represent a sustained, multi-front pressure campaign by Iran-aligned actors against the Trump administration, escalating in visibility since Soleimani’s killing and intensifying as President Trump returned to office for his second term.

My heart is heavy and angry today.
Last night I learned of a serious assassination plot against Ivanka Trump — President Trump’s daughter and a mother of three. The suspect had blueprints of her home. This comes just one month after the shooting at the White House Correspondents’…

The arrest of Al-Saadi underscores the real-world dangers that Iran’s network of proxy militias poses to American leaders and their families. Kata’ib Hezbollah has a documented history of attacks against U.S. forces and interests across the Middle East and beyond. For Americans who have long warned about the dangers of appeasing Iran through weak foreign policy, this case is a stark reminder that threats from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and its affiliates are not hypothetical — they are active, operational, and now reaching onto American soil to target the President’s own family.
