The US Justice Department has charged an Iranian man in connection with an alleged plot ordered by Iran's Revolutionary Guards Corps to assassinate President-elect Donald Trump. Farhad Shakeri, an IRGC asset residing in Tehran, was tasked with providing a plan to kill Trump. Two New York residents, Carlisle Rivera and Jonathan Loadholt, have also been charged for helping Shakeri plot to kill a US citizen of Iranian origin in New York. The charges reflect ongoing efforts by Iran to target US government officials on US soil.
