3rd Attempted Assassination of Trump? "Iranian Asset" Accused of Planning Murder

An individual identified as an "Iranian asset" has been accused of participating in a purported scheme orchestrated by Iran's elite Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) aimed at assassinating Donald Trump, the incoming President of the United States, who has reportedly dodged two previous attempts on his life. The GOP leader, scheduled to resume office at the White House in January, sustained a gunshot wound to his ear in a failed assassination bid in July.

The Justice Department identified Farhad Shakeri as an "Iranian asset" assigned by the Iranian government on October 7 to orchestrate Trump's assassination. Shakeri, 51, reportedly informed authorities that he did not plan to propose an assassination plot targeting Trump within the specified timeframe established by the IRGC, as stated by an official announcement. Iran has rejected the allegations.

"The Justice Department has accused an operative of the Iranian government who was assigned by the government to lead a group of criminal accomplices to advance Iran's assassination schemes against its targets, including President-elect Donald Trump," Attorney General Merrick B Garland stated. The US has labeled the IRGC as a terrorist organization. FBI director Christopher Wray stated that the accusations indicate Iran's ongoing efforts to harm US citizens, including President Trump and other government officials critical of the Iranian regime. "The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has been collaborating with criminals and assassins to plot against and shoot Americans on US territory and that will not be accepted," he stated.

The report mentioned Shakeri had moved to the US as a kid and was expelled approximately in 2008 following his conviction in a theft incident. The prosecutors think Shakeri is currently in Iran. Shakeri - known as an Afghan national in the criminal complaint - has also been accused of recruiting two individuals in New York, whom he had encountered in prison, to murder a US citizen of Iranian descent who had openly criticized the Iranian government. The two individuals from New York, Carlisle Rivera and Jonathan Loadholt, have been accused of participating in a murder plot.

Iran denies the charge.

Iran's foreign ministry has rejected the accusations of plotting to kill Trump as "completely baseless." Esmaeil Baghaei, representative of the Iranian foreign ministry, stated that the ministry does not believe Iran is involved in any assassination attempts against past or present American officials.

Threats And Robotic Dogs

After enduring two assassination attempts and now moving towards the highest position of power, safeguarding the president-elect is now the primary focus for the US Secret Service. Automated dogs are currently patrolling Trump's residence at Mar-a-Lago in Florida.
