Iran’s foreign ministry spokesman denied his country’s involvement in an assassination plan targeting Donald Trump.The U.S. Justice Department on Friday disclosed an Iranian murder-for-hire plot to kill Trump, charging a man who said he had been tasked by a government official before this week’s election with planning the assassination of the Republican president-elect.Investigators were told of the plan to kill Trump by Farhad Shakeri, an accused Iranian government asset who spent time in American prisons for robbery and who authorities say maintains a network of criminal associates enlisted by Tehran for surveillance and murder-for-hire plots.”We have openly rejected any involvement in such matters and consider the accusations completely baseless,” said Esmail Baghaei during a regular briefing.Baghaei said the accusation was another “mine” planted under the already complex relations between Iran and the U.S.”The region and the Muslim world and all countries are closely watching the current and next U.S. government’s behaviour and the international community wants an end to genocide, crimes and aggression in Palestine and Lebanon and escalation in West Asia,” Shakeri also said during the briefing.
