FBI Issues Alert for Iranian Agent Accused of Plotting Assassinations
IranWire ^ | March 5, 2024

Posted on 03/09/2024 8:08:41 PM PST by Freeleesy

The US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is seeking Majid Dastjani Farahani, a 41-year-old Iranian national and intelligence agent, accused of orchestrating assassination plots against US officials.

"Majid Dastjani Farahani, an Iranian intelligence officer, is wanted for questioning in connection with the recruitment of individuals for various operations in the United States, to include lethal targeting of current and former United States Government officials as revenge for the killing of IRGC-QF Commander Qasem Soleimani," it said in a report on March 5.

Soleimani was killed in 2020 in Baghdad by an American airstrike.

He was commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corp (IRGC) Quds Force – an expeditionary force Iran uses for military actions across the region.

The FBI released Farahani's picture and details, accusing him of plotting to murder former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Brian Hook, a former U.S. special envoy to Iran.

American officials believe both individuals are on the Islamic Republic's target list and are currently under permanent FBI protection.

The FBI said Farahani frequently travels between Iran and Venezuela and speaks English, Spanish, and French in addition to Persian.

According to their report, Farahani recruited individuals to surveil religious institutions, businesses, and other facilities in the United States.

The agency suspects Farahani's activities were carried out on behalf of the Iranian Ministry of Intelligence.

This is the FBI setting the stage. So they can claim they were looking at him after he accomplishes his mission. If he hits Trump, they’ll be pleased. They would be just as thrilled to hit Biden. It would deify him and get a sympathy vote and there would try to hang it on Trump.

a real iranian agent would go after various high end military members and top political leadership ordering attacks on iran.

of course, this opens to door for a deep state hit on President Trump... even tho a real agent wouldn’t target Trump

Trump needs to beef up security and be hyper aware they’re looking for any opportunity to strike.

No, I suspect rather this is the basis for saying someone
other than our security agencies got to Trump just like
they warned.

They are scared to death.

If the FBI was still what it was several decades ago, this Iranian terrorist hitman that they seek would already have been taken into custody.

Hell, the dirty feebs probably flew him into the country on a nice executive jet, put him up at a 5 star hotel, gave him a car, a gun, a map, and some walkin’ around money.

************************************************************

...this article is a crock and the author very suspicious. Iranian Muslims are taught from birth to HATE the United States and thus don’t need any excuse to kill Americans. They’ve proved that beyond all doubt.

The only goal of this article is promote and develop campaign propaganda for mindless democrats.

That pic strongly resembles a foreign agent.

Is he on the FIB Watch List?
