The Iranian government responds as U.S. authorities detail claims of an assassination plot linked to the Revolutionary Guard Corps.

In a significant development, Iran has broken its silence following allegations that an Iranian national was connected to a murder-for-hire plot aimed at former President Donald Trump.
