Iranian Plot to Assassinate Trump Foiled, DOJ Charges Three

The US Department of Justice has charged Iranian national Farhad Shakeri with plotting to assassinate Donald Trump, allegedly under the direction of Iran's Revolutionary Guard. Shakeri, believed to be in Iran, was tasked with devising a plan to kill Trump, but reportedly did not meet the timeline set by Iranian officials. The indictment also names two others allegedly recruited to kill an American journalist critical of Iran. The plot was paused with the belief that it would be easier to target Trump after the election.

Israeli Airstrike Kills Iranian Revolutionary Guard Adviser in South Damascus

An Iranian Revolutionary Guard adviser was reportedly killed in an alleged Israeli strike on Damascus, while rocket sirens sounded in northern Israel and seven people were detained in Turkey for allegedly selling information to Israel's Mossad spy agency. The U.S. and Israeli defense chiefs discussed the future of the war in Gaza and Lebanon, and Iran's President Raisi stated that Iran does not want to start a war but will respond strongly to any aggression. Additionally, Algeria has pushed for a UN Security Council resolution demanding a Gaza ceasefire, and around 1,000 people are participating in the annual conference of Standing Together, an Israeli-Palestinian grassroots movement.

Mossad and Cyprus foil Iranian plot to attack Israelis

The Mossad has assisted in the arrest of two Iranians in Cyprus who were suspected of planning attacks on Israeli citizens. The Mossad stated that Iran has been escalating its attempts to harm Israelis worldwide since October 7. The individuals were in the early stages of gathering intelligence on potential Israeli targets and were political refugees in contact with someone linked to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. Cyprus, a popular destination for Israelis, has previously experienced Iranian attacks against Israeli targets.
