US Frames Charges Against Iran Armed Forces Associate For Trump Assassination Plot

ABP News  

The US has charged an Afghan national in connection with an alleged Iranian plot to assassinate Donald Trump before he was elected the President of the US for the second term. The charges were unsealed by the Department of Justice on Friday against Farhad Shakeri, 51, alleging he was tasked with “providing a plan” to kill Trump. The prosecutors alleged in a criminal complaint filed in Manhattan court that an official of Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps directed Shakeri in September to devise a plan to surveil and kill Trump. In a statement, US Attorney General Merrick Garland said: “The Justice Department has charged an asset of the Iranian regime who was tasked by the regime to direct a network of criminal associates to further Iran’s assassination plots against its targets, including President-elect Donald Trump." Shakeri told law enforcement that he did not intend to propose a scheme to kill Trump within that seven-day timeframe so the plan was put on hold by the IRGC, according to prosecutors.
