On Friday, US prosecutors said Farhad Shakeri was tasked by the IRGC with 'providing a plan' to kill Trump, with the plot being revenge for Soleimani's death.
Federal officials said the charges, unsealed shortly after Trump's defeat of Kamala Harris, highlight ongoing Iranian efforts to target US officials, including Trump, on American soil.
Attorney General Merrick Garland emphasized that 'there are few actors in the world that pose as grave a threat to the national security of the United States as does Iran.'
FBI Director Christopher Wray stated that 'the charges announced today expose Iran's continued brazen attempts to harm U.S. officials and challenge our sovereignty.'
