Iranian general charged in plot to murder US-based dissident journalist
Justice department says eight were charged ‘for their efforts to silence and kill a US citizen because of her criticism of the Iranian regime’
A general in Iran’s Revolutionary Guards has been charged in New York in connection with an alleged plot to assassinate a dissident Iranian American journalist.
The target of the alleged assassination plot was not named in unsealed court documents, but she has been widely identified as Masih Alinejad, who lives in New York.
“The justice department has now charged eight individuals, including an Iranian military official, for their efforts to silence and kill a US citizen because of her criticism of the Iranian regime,” said Merrick Garland, the attorney general.
“We will not tolerate efforts by an authoritarian regime like Iran to undermine the fundamental rights guaranteed to every American,” Garland said in a statement.
If Iran had asked the Saudis to do it, they'd be fine.
I don't know if I can trust the US Government's characterization of an enemy of Israel.
Just kidding. Iran sucks.
