The U.S. has charged Mohammad Reza Nouri, an alleged officer of the IRGC, with orchestrating the murder of Stephen Troell as revenge for Qassem Soleimani's assassination.
Troell's assassination in 2022 was believed by Nouri to be justified due to perceived links with American or Israeli intelligence, despite Troell's actual civilian role.
Attorney General Merrick Garland emphasized, 'The Department of Justice will not tolerate terrorists and authoritarian regimes targeting and murdering Americans' as a clear message of accountability.
The charges against Nouri reflect heightened tensions between the U.S. and Iran, especially regarding sanctions and concerns over Iran's nuclear advancements.
