Criminal charges have been filed against a man for allegedly trying to assassinate John Bolton

The U.S. Justice Department has charged 45-year-old Shahram Poursafi, for planning to murder President Donald Trump’s former National Security Advisor.

U.S. authorities believe the man was motivated to kill John Bolton after the death of a commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

The commander, Qassem Soleimani, was killed in a U.S. drone strike in January 2020.

At the time, the terrorist organisation said they will take “revenge against Americans”.

“I wish to thank the Justice Department for initiating the criminal proceeding unsealed today; the FBI for its diligence in discovering and tracking the Iranian regime’s criminal threat to American citizens; and the Secret Service for providing protection against Tehran’s efforts.”

JOHN BOLTON

Prosecutors believe Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps wanted to pay USD 300,000 to an individual in order to kill Bolton.

It’s understood the Former Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo was also the target of a second assassination plot, with a USD 1 million bounty on offer.

“Iran strongly warns against any action against Iranian citizens under the pretext of these ridiculous and baseless accusations.”

Nasser Kanaani, IRAN’S FOREIGN MINISTRY SPOKESperson

Iran does not have an extradition treaty with the U.S. Poursafi remains at large, and is wanted by the FBI.

John Bolton held senior national security positions under Presidents George Bush and Trump.
