DOJ charges three in Iranian plots to assassinate Donald Trump, other targets inside US

[essentialsaltes]

According to court documents, Iranian officials asked one of the men charged, Farhad Shakeri, in September to focus on surveilling and ultimately assassinating Trump. Shakeri is still at large in Iran, the Justice Department said.

This is a newly disclosed plot and marks yet another alleged attempt on Trump’s life by the Iranian regime.

Prosecutors allege Shakeri – who participated in recorded conversations with law enforcement – was originally tasked by Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps to carrying out other assassinations against US and Israeli citizens inside the US. But IRGC officials told Shakeri on October 7 to focus only on Trump, court documents say, and that he had seven days to formulate an assassination plan.

The two other individuals charged, Carlisle Rivera and Jonathon Loadholt, who are American citizens, were arrested in New York and are accused of helping the Iranian government surveil a separate US citizen of Iranian origin.

I don’t believe Iran wants to kill Trump and risk getting wiped out by the most powerful war machine on the planet and start WWIII. But there are plenty crazies in the US govt and Israel that want the US to invade Iran and start WWIII. Staging some sort of false flag to blame it on Iran and drag US into a war is a serious threat. However, I think Trump is smart enough to not blindly trust anything coming out of the current Dem regime, the DOJ and the “fake news”.
