First Daughter Ivanka Trump was targeted for assassination by an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) trained terrorist in a twisted plot to avenge the president taking out his mentor, The Post has learned.<\/p>\n

Recently captured Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood Al-Saadi, 32, made a \u201cpledge\u201d to kill Ivanka and even had a blueprint of her Florida home, sources claimed.<\/p>\n

The Iraqi national was allegedly targeting President Donald Trump\u2019s family in response to the killing of Iranian military chief Qasem Soleimani in a US drone strike in Baghdad six years ago.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter Qasem was killed, he [Al-Saadi] went around telling people \u2018we need to kill Ivanka to burn down the house of Trump the way he burned down our house,’\u201d Entifadh Qanbar, a former deputy military attach\u00e9 in the Iraqi embassy in Washington told The Post.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe heard that he had a plan of Ivanka\u2019s house in Florida,\u201d Qanbar added. A second source also confirmed Al-Saadi\u2019s plot to kill Ivanka.<\/p>\n

Al-Saadi also posted a picture of a map showing the enclave in Florida where Ivanka and husband Jared Kushner have a $24 million home on X, alongside a chilling threat in Arabic which translates to: \u201cI say to the Americans look at this picture and know that neither your palaces nor the Secret Service will protect you. We are currently in the stage of surveillance and analysis. I told you, our revenge is a matter of time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Al-Saadi is said to be a high-ranking figure in Iraq-Iran terror circles, arrested in Turkey on May 15 and extradited\u00a0to the US where he is charged with 18 attacks and attempted attacks throughout Europe and the United States, per the Department of Justice.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s been behind attacks on US and Jewish targets including the firebombing of the Bank of New York Mellon in Amsterdam in March, the stabbing of two Jewish victims in London in April and a shooting at the US consulate building in Toronto, also in March, according to the DoJ.<\/p>\n

He also \u201cplanned, coordinated\u201d and allegedly took responsibility for attacks against Jewish people including the bombing of a synagogue in\u00a0Li\u00e8ge, Belgium,\u00a0the arson of a temple in Rotterdam in March, according to the feds, as well as various other foiled counter-attacks in the US in response to the current conflict in the Middle East.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ivanka, 44, converted to Orthodox Judaism in 2009 prior to her marriage to property magnate Kushner. The White House did not respond to The Post\u2019s request for comment on the assassination plot.<\/p>\n

Al-Saadi is said to be an operative of both Kata\u2019ib Hizballah and Iran\u2019s IRGC.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis [Al-Saadi\u2019s] relationship with Soleimani was obviously a big coup for the Iraqi militia groups he worked with,\u201d said Elizabeth Tsurkov, a Senior Fellow at the Washington DC-based New Lines Institute who was kidnapped in Bagdad in 2023 and held hostage by Kata\u2019ib Hezbollah for 903 days before her release in September 2025.<\/p>\n

She said she did not know if Al-Saadi was one of her kidnappers as she only saw them masked.<\/p>\n

Tsurkov told The Post Al-Saadi maintained a close relationship with Soleimani\u2019s replacement, Brigadier General Esmail Qaani, who continued to provide him with resources for his terror networks.<\/p>\n

A lawyer for Al-Assadi did not respond to The Post\u2019s request for comment.<\/p>\n

According to Qanbar, Al-Saadi was close to Soleimani, a major general in the IRGC and head of the elite Quds Force, and looked up to him as a father figure after the death of his own dad, Ahmad Kazemi, an Iranian brigadier general, in 2006.<\/p>\n

Al-Saadi grew up in Baghdad, and was largely raised by his Iraqi mother, but was sent to Tehran to train with the IRGC, said Qanbar, now president of Future Foundation, a nonprofit whose mission is to strengthen alliances between the US and Iraqi Kurds.<\/p>\n

Al-Saadi later established a travel agency, specializing in religious trips allowing him to travel around the world to \u201cconnect with terror cells,\u201d Qanbar alleged to The Post.<\/p>\n

When arrested in Turkey last week, Al-Saadi also had an Iraqi service passport, a special travel document issued to government employees and civil servants of that country, which can only be obtained with the consent of the Iraqi Prime Minister, Qanbar told The Post.<\/p>\n

The passport allowed him to travel freely, go through minimal or no security checks at Iraqi airports and have access to a VIP airport lounge.<\/p>\n

Although passport holders would still be required to go through security screenings elsewhere, Al-Saadi could easily obtain visas to the different countries where he allegedly planned terror attacks, he said. Al-Saadi was in transit to Russia when he was arrested, according to reports.<\/p>\n

Surprisingly for an alleged prominent terror figure, Al-Saadi was very visible on social media. Posts show him standing next to tourist attractions including the Eiffel Tower in Paris and the Petronas Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpur as well as selfies kayaking and posing in front of a missile with his hand over his heart.<\/p>\n

The federal indictment against Al-Saadi also includes photos of him consulting with Soleimani, at what appears to be a military facility, poring over maps and other equipment, which he had posted on his Snapchat account, according to the court documents.<\/p>\n

In August, 2020, seven months after Soleimani was killed, Al-Saadi posted to his X account an image of Soleimani and another military figure killed in the same US drone strike held by a militant with an AK-47, captioned: \u201cI will leave social media and turn off all my phones until the American enemy is defeated \u2026victory or martyrdom,\u201d according to federal court documents.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

However, the social media blackout didn\u2019t last long for the digital blabbermouth. In a 2025 post to his X account, which he described as his \u201clast tweet,\u201d Al-Saadi referred to Soleimani and other Iranian military leaders killed in US strikes as \u201cmartyrs.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI address you while in great shock and intense weakness, a feeling I have never experience in my life except once, at the martyrdom of \u2026Qasem Soleimani,\u201d he wrote, according to court documents.<\/p>\n

Al-Saadi also targeted and threatened potential victims with Snapchat messages and social media posts, in many cases sending them a photograph of a pistol with a silencer, according to messages seen by The Post.<\/p>\n

The suspected terrorist, who also allegedly has links to Lebanese paramilitary force Hezbollah, is currently in solitary confinement at Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, which houses other high-profile inmates like accused CEO shooter Luigi Mangione and captured Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro.<\/p>\n
