Iran Revolutionary Guard Member Charged for Plotting to Kill Trump National Security Advisor

-

A Department of Justice indictment unsealed in federal court reveals that DOJ has charged Shahram Poursafi, a member of 's (IRGC), with plotting to kill John Bolton.

Bolton has a long history of public service dating back to the George W. Bush administration. He most recently served as the 26th National Security Advisor under former President .

The indictment alleges that the plot to kill Bolton materialized while the and European Union worked to revive the .

Hot Air's Ed Morrisey reports:

The indictment alleges that Poursafi and others in the IRGC plot attempted to find assassins for that $300K contract on Bolton's head. Poursafi was willing to pay up to $15,000 for surveillance of Bolton, although apparently he preferred to transfer the money in Iran rather than the US, for obvious reasons. This person went to the FBI with the information at some point, becoming a “confidential human source” in the investigation.

After that, Poursafi tried to get the informant to find a hitman to do the contracted hit:

Needless to say, the amount of money involved makes it clear that Poursafi wasn't just playing around with petty cash. This kind of money and the machinations employed to conduct this operation clearly indicates that the IRGC ran it.

According to reports, much of the Bolton assassination plot occurred between October 2021 and February 2022 when Biden made multiple appeals and concessions attempting to revive the Iran nuclear deal.

Among them was a proposal to remove the IRGC from the State Department's Foreign Terrorist Organization's list.

Morrisey concludes:

Was the Biden administration unaware of this FBI investigation into an IRGC assassination plot against a former US official while negotiating a normalized status for it? Or did they just not care and were willing to overlook an assassination plot against Bolton to get Iranian oil on the market and stuff Russian pockets with cash?

Many questions remain unanswered. In the meantime, Poursafi remains free somewhere abroad. If captured, he faces the possibility of up to 10 years imprisonment.

  1. given how bolton snit-fitted his way out of the trump administration, this doesn’t strike me as bad. . .until the dems try to pin an Iranian hoax on trump. . .

  2. If Iran is plotting to kill you & you are an American official, you can sure bet that you are doing something right! You sure don’t hear about them plotting to kill anyone in the Obama or Obama led Biden regimes, do you?!
