Iranian charged in alleged plot to ***** Trump

The US government has brought charges against an Iranian man in connection with an alleged plot to ************ Donald Trump before he was elected the next president.

The Department of Justice on Friday unsealed an indictment against Farhad Shakeri, 51, alleging he was tasked with “providing a plan” to ***** Trump.

The US government said Mr Shakeri has not been arrested and is believed to be in Iran.

In a ********* complaint filed in Manhattan court, prosecutors allege that an official in Iran’s Revolutionary Guard directed Mr Shakeri in September to devise a plan to surveil and ***** Trump.

“The Justice Department has charged an asset of the Iranian regime who was tasked by the regime to direct a network of ********* associates to further Iran’s ************** plots against its targets, including President-elect Donald Trump,” US Attorney General Merrick Garland said in a statement.

The justice department added that it had charged two others also allegedly recruited to ***** an ********* journalist who was an outspoken critic of Iran.

The other two individuals were identified by the justice department as Carlisle Rivera, also known as “Pop”, 49, from Brooklyn, and Jonathon Loadholt, 36, from Staten Island.

The two appeared in court in the Southern District of New York on Thursday and are being detained pending a trial.

According to prosecutors, Mr Shakeri told them that he did not intend to propose a scheme to ***** Trump within the timeframe the Iranian government wanted, so officials in the *********** Guard paused the plan.

Mr Shakeri was asked to come up with a plan to ***** Trump in seven days, the indictment alleges. If he was unable to do so, Mr Sakeri said Iranian Revolutionary Guard officials told him it would be easier to try to ************ Trump after the election, because they believed he would lose, prosecutors said.

In addition to the ********* journalist and Trump, the indictment alleges the Iranian government sought to ***** two ******* ********* businesspeople living in New York City, who were supportive of ******* on social media.

Mr Shakeri also told prosecutors that his Iranian contacts asked him to plan a mass ********* event to target ******** tourists in Sri Lanka in October 2024, a year after the ****** attacks on *******.
