The Department of Justice USA This Friday he accused a man linked to the Revolutionary Guard of Iran of hatch a plan to murder to the then Republican candidate donald trump before the elections.
In a statement, the attorney general Merrick Garland explained that the Iranian regime commissioned the accused “to direct a network of criminal associates to fuel murder plots of Iran against its targets, including President-elect Donald Trump.
The main accused is Farhad Shakeri51, described in the lawsuit as an Afghan living in Tehran who He spent a decade in prison New Yorkwhere he met his associates, before being deported – he is now supposed to be in Iran -, and that he is an “active” member of the Revolutionary Guard.
The Department of Justice assures that Shakeri voluntarily participated in a telephone conversation with the FBIin which he assured that on October 7 he was commissioned prepare a plan to kill Donald Trump the following week, but he never thought about preparing that plan “in the time frame proposed by the Revolutionary Guard,” without making that contradiction very clear.
If Shakeri did not have that plan ready by then, as he claimed he did, the Iranian militia would pause its mission until after elections because They believed Trump would lose them and that “later it would be easier” to kill him, he adds.
The accusation comes after the Trump campaign said in September that US intelligence officials had warned the then-candidate “about real and specific threats by Iran with the aim of assassinating him.
FBI Director Christopher Wray said in the note that the lawsuit “exposes Iran’s blatant attempts against American citizens, including President-elect Donald Trump, other government leaders and dissidents who criticize the Iranian regime.”
