2 New Yorkers Busted in Plot to Stalk, Assassinate Trump Ordered by Iran, Bombshell Indictment Reveals
New York Post ^

Posted on 11/08/2024 12:01:54 PM PST by nickcarraway

The Iranian government instructed one of its agents to stalk and assassinate former President Donald Trump this past September, according to a bombshell indictment unsealed by Manhattan federal prosecutors Friday.

The indictment, which charges Iranian Farhad Shakeri and two New Yorkers with murder for hire and conspiracy, states that an unnamed official in Iran’s notorious Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) instructed Shakeri in the final weeks of the 2024 campaign to “focus on surveilling, and, ultimately, assassinating, former President of the United States, Donald J. Trump.”

Prosecutors say that when Shakeri noted that the plot would “cost a ‘huge’ amount of money,” the IRGC official said that “we have already spent a lot of money … [s]o the money’s not an issue.” In a phone conversation with an FBI agent, Shakeri said he was instructed by the IRGC on Oct. 7 of this year to have a plan in place to kill Trump “within seven days.” If Shakeri did not meet his deadline, the IRGC contact allegedly said, the hit on Trump would be postponed until after the election, which Tehran assessed that the Republican nominee would lose “and, afterward, it would be easier to assassinate [him].”

That’s an act of war.

Be interesting to see how President Trump responds.

That may be what some in the IC want.
At least part of the reason Bush the Junior went to take out Saddam was for trying to kill Bush the Elder.

If Biden was a leader of any sort, he would be sending missiles into Tehran as we speak.

Why do they say “two New Yorkers”? Are we supposed to believe it’s a couple of guys with names like Vito or Ricardo or Shlomo?

The article doesn’t clarify how Shakeri recruited the pair he met in prison.

My read on this:

They let Shakeri flee to Iran before charging the 3 (hence the delayed charges).

And this is what the death penalty is for.

There’s nothing else safe to do with them.

They're covering for the illegals as they always do.

The MSM always tried to portray illegals as homegrown.

It’s like the guy who murdered the little girls in the U.K. The press described him as being Welsh, since he was born in Wales, name of Axel Rudakubana.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the Ayatollah’s demised has been planned down to the smallest detail just waiting for a green light from Bibi.

The complaint, which refers to the president-elect as “Victim-4,” also charges Brooklyn native Carlisle Rivera, 49, and Staten Islander Jonathan Loadholt, 36, with murder-for-hire, conspiracy to commit murder-for-hire and money laundering conspiracy.

RE: Two of the New Yorkers trying to eliminate Trump....

Search the phrase Hochul threatens Trump

and it adds Letitia James threatens Trump

and Governor Newsom threatens Trump.

Along with Hochul stories to fight Trump.
