US reveals shocking Iran-linked plot targeting Trump and activist

In a high-stakes case‚ US prosecutors charged Farhad Shakeri - a Tehran-based IRGC asset with planning assassination of president-elect Donald Trump (the task he got just last month but didnt follow through)

Iranian officials quickly denied these claims: their response came thru spokesperson Esmail Baghaei who blamed outside forces for trying to damage US-Iran relations

The 51-year old Shakeri has quite a background - he moved to America as kid but got kicked out about 15 years ago after doing some robbery; now hes somewhere in Iran avoiding US law-enforcement

Two more people got mixed up in this mess: Carlisle Rivera and Jonathan Loadholt from NY (who met Shakeri while doing time) are now in custody for helping plan attack on Iranian-American activist. This same person was already targeted before - first about 3 years ago when 4 Iranians tried kidnapping them and then last year when cops caught someone with gun near their house

This is a repulsive plot by Israel and Iranian opposition outside the country to complicate matters between America and Iran

Iranian Foreign Ministry statement

The case shows how IRGC keeps trying to hit targets on US soil; even tho they dont always succeed their attempts are getting more bold - from kidnapping plans to straight-up assassination plots
