3 charged in Iran-linked plot to assassinate Donald Trump, sources tell ABC News
Briefly

Three individuals, Farhad Shakeri, Carlisle Rivera, and Jonathan Loadholt, have been charged in an alleged plot to assassinate President-elect Donald Trump and Iranian dissidents. Law enforcement sources revealed that these men might have been hired through connections made in prison, indicating an extensive criminal network operating to support the IRGC's assassination efforts in America.
The men involved in this intricate assassination plot appear to have formed associations while incarcerated, indicating a systemic approach to convert criminal experiences into tools for IRGC operatives, as noted in the court documents.
Jonathan Loadholt and Carlisle Rivera are currently in custody, while Farhad Shakeri remains at large. Their connections are purportedly linked to a broader network designed to facilitate violence against political figures and dissidents.
This case underscores the ongoing threats posed by transnational criminal networks and their potential collaboration with state actors like Iran, posing significant risks to individuals perceived as adversaries.
