Justice Department Uncovers Iranian Plot Targeting Donald Trump

The U.S. Department of Justice has filed federal charges against three individuals linked to an alleged plot by Iran to assassinate former President Donald Trump ahead of the upcoming presidential election. The charges reveal that the plot was orchestrated by Iranian operatives and aimed to surveil Trump, eventually leading to an attempt on his life.

According to information gathered , one of the accused operatives reportedly informed law enforcement that a senior figure within Iran’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard ordered him to craft a plan for tracking and ultimately killing Trump. This instruction was allegedly issued in September, with the operative instructed to proceed with preparations under the direction of the Iranian government.

The criminal complaint, filed by federal prosecutors in Manhattan, outlines how the operative was guided step-by-step to gather intelligence on Trump, setting in motion a detailed plan that could have posed a significant threat to his safety. This attempted plot highlights the high-stakes tension between the U.S. and Iran, as political dynamics continue to play out on the international stage.

The Justice Department’s quick action appears to have effectively dismantled the plan before it could progress further. Investigators are still working to understand the full scope of the conspiracy and the involvement of Iranian officials.

This story is ongoing, and additional updates will be provided as new details emerge.
