Another conspiracy to assassinate former US President Donald Trump, who registered a bumper victory in the US presidential election, has been revealed. In the case, the US intelligence department has accused an Iranian citizen named Farhad Shakeri. According to the FBI, Farhad Shakeri is an ‘Iranian asset’ and a member of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). Farhad was tasked by the Iranian government to plan Trump’s assassination on October 7. The FBI says that the IRGC had also set a deadline for this. US Attorney General Merrick B Garland says, “The Justice Department has arrested an asset of the Iranian government, this asset was tasked with running a criminal network to assassinate several American leaders, including Trump.” FBI Director Christopher Ray says that Iran is constantly trying to target American citizens, leaders and government officials. The IRGC has conspired with criminals to attack our people and this will not be tolerated. The US has declared the IRGC a terrorist organization. On the other hand, Iran has called these allegations of conspiracy to assassinate Trump false. Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Ismail Baghai said, “Iran categorically rejects the allegations of targeting any current or former US official.” Who is ‘Iranian Asset Shakeri’? According to media reports, Farhad Shakeri came to America as a child and was deported in 2008 after being convicted in a robbery case. He is currently in Iran. Apart from this, Shakeri is also accused of killing an Iranian citizen who opposed the Iranian government in New York. In 2019, Shakeri was detained in Sri Lanka on charges of heroin smuggling. Shakeri is also accused of helping several terrorist organizations. Trump’s security is a tough challenge. There have been two deadly attacks on Trump in the last 6 months. During the election campaign in July, Trump was also shot at a rally in Pennsylvania. The bullet had touched his ear and passed through. The person who fired the shot was shot dead by the Secret Service there. Two days after this, on July 16, police arrested a 21-year-old youth with an AK-47 outside his Republican Party’s convention in Milwaukee, USA. Then, just two months later, there was a second deadly attack on him. In this too, Trump’s life was narrowly saved. The accused was arrested. In such a situation, after the disclosure of this third major conspiracy against him, Trump’s security has become the first priority for the American Secret Service. Robotic dogs are being used for patrolling in Trump’s house in Florida.
