Two Canadians planned to conduct assassinations in the U.S. on behalf of Iran's intelligence services, according to allegations in a newly unsealed indictment.
The suspects are accused of plotting to shoot a man and woman living in Maryland, one of them a defector from Iran.
The charges unsealed Monday by the U.S. Department of Justice include details of the alleged plot, including the sum the would-be killers had charged for the job: $350,000 US.
News of the charges emerges at a time of acutely high tension with Iran, as the U.S. threatens retaliation after three U.S. military members were killed in an attack by an Iran-backed militia.
The indictment identifies one Canadian suspect as Damion Patrick John Ryan, a full-patch member of the Hells Angels criminal gang who allegedly assembled a team of gunmen in late 2020 and early 2021. He was allegedly working with another Canadian, Adam Richard Pearson, who was living illegally in Minnesota at the time.
They were hired by an accused Iranian drug-dealer who operates on the instructions of a certain officer with Iran's Ministry of Intelligence and Security, according to the U.S.
In a separate action Monday, the United States government announced financial sanctions against the network run by the alleged drug-dealer, Naji Ibrahim Sharifi-Zindashti.
American authorities say Zindashti is based in Iran and his criminal operation is given free rein by the Ministry of Intelligence and Security.
In exchange for state protection, they say, the criminal group carries out assassinations and kidnappings, on multiple continents, of dissidents and opponents of the Iranian regime; according to the U.S. Treasury Department, these operations were overseen by MOIS officer Reza Hamidiravari.

"The Iranian regime's continued efforts to target dissidents and activists demonstrate the regime's deep insecurity and attempt to expand Iran's domestic repression internationally," said U.S. Treasury official Brian Nelson.
The charges do not identify the intended targets in Maryland. Authorities said the assassination plot against them was stopped before it could be carried out.
"Thanks to the skilled work of federal prosecutors and law enforcement agents, this murder-for-hire conspiracy was disrupted and the defendants will face justice," said U.S. prosecutor Andrew Luger, based in Minnesota.
As for the suspects, both are already in prison. Ryan is currently jailed in Canada on firearms charges and Pearson was arrested by the FBI in 2021 and extradited to Canada over a murder in Alberta five years ago.
They are now charged in the U.S. with one count of conspiracy to use interstate commerce facilities in a murder-for-hire plot, as is Zindashti.
The U.S. and the U.K. released, separately, on Monday sanctions lists of Iranian officials they linked to killings and plotted killing of dissidents and journalists in Turkey, the U.K., the U.S. and the Middle East.
Pearson also faces separate firearms charges.
The new allegations have not been proven in court.
ID required, Paper Ballots all counted on the same day , restrict absentee ballots.
NOt rocket science
Dumb voting machines.
Don’t forget the dumb voting machines.
I believe that is the whole point of why Iran is treated with kid gloves.
DNC royalty sets the policy....nothng elese makes sense....I mean we cave them billions , and we freed up their oil exports.NOw thay are setting fore to the ME.
Mohammad Javad Zarif calls a lot of these espionage shots and attacks on our military.
A drone strike on Zarif’s limozine.......sounds good to me.(grin).Ooops we made a mistake!
I believe the Iranians will be used to asassinate the leading Republican nominee for president.We hope the plot fails of course, but this news piece makes me realize how much is truly at risk.
Most importantly, so the cities can’t “find” votes, all counties MUST report their votes at the exact same time.
THey want us to believe them very badly. WHY? Paper ballots worl fine. Keep it simple.
How could they smuggle a drone across our border?>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Iran is arranging for assassinations on US SOil.
And who is the #1 enemy of the DNC/Iran , John Kerry love fest?
You bet they will try.
It isn’t anti-American to point out that the USA has been taken over by communist pigs. The FBI, CIA, DOD are ALL run by filthy scumbag criminals who would kill American citizens and service men without blinking an eye.
Our money at work. /s
Correction: “wants”
But your concern is misguided:
The DS would capitalize on such knowledge and just blame it on the iranians.
Frankly I’m shocked they haven’t yet tried (that we’re aware).
$350,000 US. To whack a Iranian..? Hmmmm....
China and Russia also have assassination squads operating in many countries.
With a hammer, in underwear?
Still spreading that myth it seems.
Not one thread mention of the Hell’s Angels.
Yeah...theyu are supposed to be the good guys? They are hooled up with bad actors in CANADAM and with drug cartels.
LOL!
“Are you an enemy of the FBI, CIA, and DOD ?
I certainly am not. “
Glowie Alert !
Good money
The top ranks of the military and the Federal police agencies are enemies of America, as much as any official in Beijing, Moscow, or Tehran. Increasingly, these leaders are recruiting people with like ideologies.
