U.S. officials believed Israel could try to assassinate Iran's top negotiators after the ceasefire between the countries was declared in April, according to a new report.
The New York Times noted that officials indirectly warned Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf about potential threats. They had been targeted during the war, but Washington asked Israel not to follow through because then there would be "no one else to talk to" about a potential ceasefire.
