In a chilling revelation, U.S. intelligence uncovered a potential Iranian assassination plot targeting former President Donald Trump just weeks before a deadly shooting incident at one of his rallies. This alarming news comes as tensions between the U.S. and Iran continue to simmer.
According to reports, the FBI has been on high alert, searching for an Iranian intelligence officer, Majid Dastjani Farahani, believed to be orchestrating the plot. Farahani, wanted for recruiting operatives to carry out surveillance and assassination attempts, allegedly targeted Trump and other former officials as retaliation for the 2020 drone strike that killed Major General Qassem Soleimani, the head of Iran's Quds Force.

The intelligence report issued by the National Counterterrorism Center identified specific threats against Trump, former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, and former CENTCOM Commander General Kenneth McKenzie. Since Soleimani's death, Iran has publicly vowed to avenge the killing, seeing high-profile U.S. figures as prime targets for their retaliatory actions.
In light of these threats, the Secret Service heightened security around Trump. Despite these precautions, the former president faced a life-threatening situation when a gunman opened fire at a Pennsylvania rally. While there is no confirmed link between the assassination plot and the shooting, the timing has raised concerns among security agencies.
Now the bullshit MSM says Iran tried to assassinate Trump?
This info from the same government who couldn’t secure a roof top?
Kill Trump, blame Iran, go to war.
Deep states fantasy.
Evil clowns run this circus.

Farahani, described as having ties to both Iran and Venezuela, is believed to have been actively recruiting individuals for operations within the United States. The FBI's alert has emphasized the seriousness of the threat, urging the public to provide any information that could lead to his capture.
This plot is part of a broader strategy by Iran to avenge Soleimani's death through various means, including legal maneuvers, threats of violence, and issuing arrest warrants against U.S. officials involved in the drone strike. The ongoing conflict underscores the fragile nature of U.S.-Iran relations and the lengths to which Tehran is willing to go to settle scores.
As the situation develops, the Biden administration has reiterated its commitment to protect former officials and counter Iranian threats. This includes bolstering security measures and collaborating with international partners to mitigate risks posed by Iranian operatives.
The potential assassination plot against Trump and other key figures is a stark reminder of the enduring consequences of the 2020 drone strike and the volatile geopolitical landscape. With the FBI actively pursuing Farahani and heightened security measures in place, the U.S. remains vigilant against threats from foreign adversaries.
