U.S. Intelligence Officials Feared Israel Was Planning to Kill Iranian Negotiators
NYT > U.S. News·Friday, 3 July 2026
U.S. officials believed Israel was plotting to assassinate Abbas Araghchi, Iran's foreign minister, and Mohammad Ghalibaf, the Iranian parliament speaker, according to a report. American officials feared such an attempt would derail ongoing peace talks with Iran. The report did not say whether any such plot was carried out.
Why It Matters
Middle East stability directly affects global oil prices and India's energy import bill, and any collapse of peace talks between the U.S. and Iran could reignite the kind of crisis that already caused the Strait of Hormuz disruption.
