The U.S. Department of Justice recently announced that Farhad Shakuri, allegedly tasked by Iran with plotting to assassinate Donald Trump, is an Afghan national.
The criminal complaint, filed in Manhattan federal court, claims that a member of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) ordered Shakuri to devise a plan for Trump’s assassination.
The Department of Justice publicly revealed these criminal charges on Friday, attributing them to an alleged Iranian plot to kill Trump before the recent election.
