Iran rejects accusations of involvement in plot to kill Donald Trump
Iran today described as “totally unfounded” US accusations that Tehran is involved in assassination plots in the United States, targeting in particular President-elect Donald Trump.
“The spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Esmail Baghai, considers it completely unfounded and rejects the accusations that Iran is involved in an assassination attempt on former or current American officials,” says a statement from Iranian diplomacy.
The US Justice Department on Friday filed criminal charges over a foiled Iranian plot to kill Donald Trump ahead of this week’s election.
A criminal complaint filed in Manhattan federal court alleges that an unnamed employee of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard instructed a member last September in a plan to surveil and ultimately kill Trump.
If the man, identified as Farjad Shakeri, failed to create a plan before the election, according to the complaint, Iran would suspend his plan for some time, as it was believed that Trump would lose the presidential election, making him an easier target to shoot. . below.
