Iran Denies Plotting to Murder Donald Trump

Previously: US Charges Three for Alleged Iranian Plot to Murder Donald Trump

In 2016, we had Russian hacking.

This is a very different year, and now we have “Iranian assassination plot.”

These things are actually quite similar, as they both signal the direction that the people who run the government/media are planning to take a Trump election.

Iran has denied US accusations that it attempted to orchestrate a plot to assassinate President-elect Donald Trump before the November election. It has dismissed the allegations as a hoax orchestrated by pro-Israel actors in a bid to exacerbate tensions between Washington and Tehran.

On Friday, the US Department of Justice claimed that Iranian officials had asked a man named Farhad Shakeri to “provide a plan” to kill Trump, adding that he was also tasked with carrying out assassinations of US and Israeli citizens inside the US. Shakeri was described as an Afghan national residing in Tehran after being deported from the US in 2008 following a lengthy prison sentence for robbery.  

The indictment also implicated two American citizens, Carlisle Rivera and Jonathan Loadholt, who were accused of helping Tehran track a US citizen of Iranian origin. “The charges announced today expose Iran’s continued brazen attempts to target US citizens, including President-elect Donald Trump, other government leaders and dissidents who criticize the regime in Tehran,” FBI Director Christopher Wray said in a statement.

You can trust him.

Right MAGA?

On Saturday, the spokesperson for the Iranian Foreign Ministry, Esmaeil Baghaei, categorically rejected the accusations, calling them “completely baseless.” “Such claims at this juncture [are] a malicious conspiracy orchestrated by Zionist and anti-Iranian circles, aimed at further complicating the issues between the US and Iran,” he added.

Baghaei also recalled that Iran had denied similar “false” allegations in the past. He was apparently referring to an indictment by the US Department of Justice from August in which a Pakistani national was accused of being sent to the US by Iran to carry out murders. One of the planned attacks was allegedly aimed at Trump.

This entire story is sickeningly ridiculous.

They hired a street criminal from Afghanistan to plan and carry out the attack? They also hired two random Americans?

The FBI somehow interviewed this guy, even though he’s not even in America? And that’s how they know about the plot? From the interview?

How did they interview him? They called him on the phone?

What even is this?

Murdering him or trying to would do nothing at all for Iran. No one thinks someone can get away with that and not get caught, so it would absolutely mean expediting the war with Iran, with no benefits.

The US government always portrays their enemies as both evil and retarded, which gives them the ability to claim anything at all.
