WASHINGTON
\nUS prosecutors announced charges on Friday in an alleged Iranian plot to assassinate former president Donald Trump.
\nThe foiled assassination plot was allegedly directed by Iran\u2019s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps to avenge the death of Iranian general Qassem Soleimani, who was killed in 2020 in a US strike ordered by then-president Trump, the Justice Department said.
\nFarhad Shakeri, 51, who is believed to be in Iran, was \u201ctasked\u201d on October 7 by the IRGC with providing a plan to kill Trump, who defeated Vice President Kamala Harris in Tuesday\u2019s US presidential election, the department said in a statement.
\nThe agency said Shakeri and two other men were charged separately with plotting to kill a dissident Iranian-American journalist in New York.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
