US accuses Iran of plot to assassinate ex-NSA, Bolton

Authorities in the United States have accused Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of plotting to assassinate former US National Security Advisor, John Bolton, in retaliation for the killing of Iran’s General Qassem Soleimani in 2020.

Al-Jazeera reported that the US Department of Justice is accusing Tehran of offering an unidentified US-based individual $300,000 to carry out the alleged killing in Washington DC or neighbouring Maryland. US attorney for Washington, Matthew Graves, said in a statement that, “Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, through the Defendant, tried to hatch a brazen plot: assassinate a former US official on US soil in retaliation for US actions.”Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kanaani said, as reported by the Reuters news agency, “Iran strongly warns against any action against Iranian citizens under the pretext of these ridiculous and baseless accusations”.

Whenever the US's best attempts to make Iran surrender to Washington's conditions fail, they invent a media hype to delegitimize Iran & level up their pressure campaign. We've not forgotten the Adel Al-Jubeir assassination comic strip yet. So predictable.
