Irani man charged in alleged plot to kill former national security adviser John Bolton
The United States has claimed to have stopped the assassination plot of former National Security Adviser John Bolton.
According to a report of the American news agency, Shahram Poursafi, an alleged member of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, has also been indicted in his absence. The US Department of Justice has said that Shahram Poursafi, alias Mehdi Rezai, tried to plan Bolton’s murder.
According to the report, the accused wanted to avenge the death of General Qasem Soleimani in the US drone strike. Shahram alias Mehdi Rezai had offered up to $300,000 to people in Washington or Maryland to kill Bolton.
John Bolton thanked the US Department of Justice and intelligence agencies for the reports that foiled the assassination plot. John Bolton said in his statement that there has been no change in the anti-American goals of the Iranian rulers.
The former national security adviser said that Iran’s promises are worthless and the global threat posed by it is increasing, the Biden administration should not restore the 2015 nuclear deal.

The US Department of Justice details the charges, detailing how the Iranian man asked an American citizen he met online to take down photos of John Bolton, allegedly for a book he was writing. The unidentified citizen then introduced Poursafi to another man who was later asked to kill former President Trump’s national security adviser John Bolton and provide video evidence of the killing.
It should be noted that two years ago on January 2020, the 62-year-old head of the Quds Force of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, General Qassem Soleimani, was killed in an American attack on Baghdad Airport in Iraq. The attack was ordered by former US President Donald Trump.
