Iranian Plot to Assassinate Donald Trump Thwarted by U.S. Authorities

The U.S. Justice Department has announced serious charges against individuals involved in an Iranian conspiracy to assassinate Donald Trump. The plot, which included murder-for-hire schemes, was reportedly ordered by Tehran and aimed at Trump during his election campaign. Three individuals, including an Iranian operative, have been charged, while one remains at large in New York City. The FBI was able to foil the assassination attempt, highlighting concerns over foreign threats to U.S. political figures. This development comes in the wake of heightened tensions following the U.S. killing of Iranian military leader Qassem Soleimani.
