Iranian Assassination Plot Unveiled

A serious plot has emerged where the Iranian National Guard allegedly aimed to assassinate President-elect Donald Trump. Federal prosecutors detailed that a man named Farhad Shikari was tasked with targeting U.S.-based figures viewed as enemies of Iran. Two men from New York were arrested for their suspected involvement in the assassination plan, which included surveillance of dissidents and critics of the Iranian regime. This criminal activity follows past attempts on Trump’s life and reflects ongoing retaliatory efforts by Iran in response to the 2020 killing of Iranian General Qasim Soleimani, ordered by Trump himself.
