US Justice Department Files Charges in Alleged Iranian Plot to Assassinate Trump
ai generated text
The US government has accused Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) of plotting to assassinate former US President Donald Trump. According to the allegations, Farhad Shakeri, an Afghan national believed to be in Iran, was tasked by the IRGC with devising a plan to kill Trump. Two other men, Carlisle Rivera and Jonathon Loadholt, who are US residents, have also been charged in connection with the alleged plot.
In recent months, Shakeri has used a network of criminal associates he met in prison in the United States to supply the IRGC with operatives to conduct surveillance and assassinations of IRGC targets.
The charges announced today expose Iran's continued brazen attempts to target US citizens, including President-elect Donald Trump, other government leaders and dissidents who criticize the regime in Tehran.
We're committed to using the full resources of the FBI to protect our citizens from Iran or any other adversary who targets Americans.
President Trump understands that the chief driver of instability in today's Middle East is the Iranian regime.
There are few actors in the world that pose as grave a threat to the national security of the United States as does Iran.
