US officials warn Iran through third parties that Israel plans to assassinate chief negotiators Abbas Araghchi and Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf during sensitive peace talks.The two men were placed on an Israeli "kill list" earlier this year and were removed after intervention by US officials as negotiations advanced; earlier Israeli strikes killed Ali Larijani and Kamal Kharazi and interrupted diplomacy.Ghalibaf's April trip to
Pakistan prompted Pakistani fighter jets to escort his plane and an emergency landing in
Mashhad, and despite protections both
Abbas Araghchi and
Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf continue meetings in Qatar and Switzerland while US officials remain wary.
