The U.S. Justice Department on Friday unveiled criminal charges against an Iranian scheme aimed at assassinating President-elect Donald Trump before this week's election.
Documents filed in Manhattan's federal court detail allegations against an unidentified Iranian Revolutionary Guard official, who reportedly directed a contact in September to create a surveillance and assassination plan targeting Trump.
According to the complaint, Farjad Shakeri, the contact, told the FBI he would not meet the seven-day deadline to propose a murder plan, indicating a strategic pause until after the election, assuming Trump would lose.
This development underscores ongoing threats by Iran against U.S. officials, including Trump, on American soil, highlighted by federal authorities.
