DOJ Charges Iranians in Alleged Plot to Assassinate Trump

The U.S. Justice Department has charged an Iranian man, Farhad Shakeri, in a murder-for-hire plot to assassinate former President Donald Trump, allegedly orchestrated by Iran's Revolutionary Guard. Shakeri, who remains in Iran, reportedly planned the assassination before the recent election, believing it would be easier if Trump lost. The plot is part of broader Iranian efforts to target U.S. officials, including Trump, on American soil. Two other men were arrested for related plots against Iranian-American journalist Masih Alinejad. The case highlights ongoing tensions between the U.S. and Iran.
