They’re denying it now, but they’ve admitted it in the past. In Feb. 2023, Fox News reported that Iran had renewed its threats against Trump and the others, and even stated them in Islamic religious terms. Amir Ali Hajizadeh, head of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps aerospace force, declared: “God willing, we are looking to kill Trump [and] Pompeo… and military commanders who issued the order should be killed.”
As The Complete Infidel’s Guide to Iran explains, the concept of taqiyya was formulated during the time of the sixth Imam, Jafar al-Sadiq, in the middle of the eighth century, when the Shi’ites were being persecuted by the Sunni caliph al-Mansur. Taqiyya allowed Shi’ites to pretend to be Sunnis in order to protect themselves from Sunnis who were killing Shi’ites. Until the conversion of Persia to Shi’ism, taqiyya was an important element of Shi’ite survival. Sunnis, in the majority almost everywhere, would not infrequently take it upon themselves to cleanse the land of those whom they referred to as Rafidites, or rejecters: those who rejected the caliphates of Abu Bakr, Umar, and Uthman.
“Iran denies involvement in Trump assassination plot outlined in DOJ report: ‘Malicious conspiracy,'” by Elizabeth Pritchett, Fox News, November 9, 2024:
Iran’s Foreign Ministry dismissed a report released by the Department of Justice on Friday stating that it thwarted an Iranian plot to assassinate President-elect Donald Trump.
A criminal complaint filed in a New York City federal court stated that an unnamed official in Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps told Farhad Shakeri, 51, of Iran, to “focus on surveilling, and, ultimately, assassinating, former President of the United States, Donald J. Trump.”
“Shakeri has informed law enforcement that he was tasked on Oct. 7, 2024, with providing a plan to kill President-elect Donald J. Trump,” it added.
On Saturday, spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei “categorically dismissed allegations that Iran was involved in attempts to assassinate former and current US officials,” according to the foreign ministry.
Baghaei, who described the report as “completely baseless and rejected,” said Iran has been accused of similar scenarios in the past that have been “firmly denied and proven false.”
He said that repeating these types of claims “is a malicious conspiracy orchestrated by Zionist and anti-Iranian circles, aimed at further complicating the issues between the US and Iran.”
Baghaei concluded by saying Iran “remains committed” to using “all legitimate and legal means” at domestic and international levels to “restore the rights of the Iranian nation.”
Shakeri, who remains at large and is believed to be living in Iran, “immigrated to the United States as a child and was deported in or about 2008 after serving 14 years in prison for a robbery conviction,” according to the DOJ.
Shakeri is also accused of tasking two New York men, 49-year-old Carlisle Rivera and 36-year-old Jonathon Loadholt, with surveilling and killing an American of Iranian origin — who “is an outspoken critic of the Iranian regime” — for $100,000….

Hudders. says
Indeed @SH. That is EXACTLY what they would be doing.
Like the so called poor downtrodden ‘innocent civilians’, who danced with joy as Jewish hostages were brought captive into Gaza after the Oct 7 attacks; or those who handed out sweets & cakes to celebrate the merciless, brutal rape & slaughter of Israelis.
Oh yes, you are absolutely correct. Disgusting demonic gleeful grins contorting their faces, whilst loudly screaming frenzied thanks to allah, would have been seen & heard around the world, wherever the twisted terror loving vermin have currently chosen to curse with islamist infestation.
No wonder the whole evil foundation of the islamic horror empire is nervously shaking at the moment, for they know that with the election of Trump & thus Israel finally being given the love & support it needs/deserves, their moments of barbaric joy will certainly be few & far between.
Praise The Lord. It is about time too.

Yes, always, Praise The Lord.

Even Democrats here in America are probably not so dumb that they would believe this rot but I say it’s a close call here..
After all, Democrats stupidly went after Trump via lawfare and which only made Trump more popular. Democrats opened our borders to massive invasion. Democrats unanimously voted against the Save Act which would prevent illegals from voting in American elections. Democrats aplenty have revealed their pro-Palestinian proclivities. Democrats aplenty still think the execrable exodus from Afghanistan in August of 2021 was, and this is a direct quote from Joe Biden, “an extraordinary success.” And Democrats in huge numbers maintained that if we questioned Biden’s cognitive ability we were engaging in disinformation and “deep fakes.” Also, Democrats told us (they still are) that Kamala Harris was a wonderful candidate for President and needed to be elected to prevent the new Hitler from coming to power. And Democrats in large numbers are just fine with men in women’s sports (and bathrooms). And so on and so on.
So, Democrats might just be dumb enough to accept what the evil regime now running Iran has said about attempts to kill Trump. Yeah, they might be this dumb. After all, by now no one should not take into account how ruinous to America the modern Democratic Party has been. In brief, I give Democrats no credit. Why should I?

Questions Iranians should ask..
Ask Ali
Do you think that this war with Israel is just a distraction- like the catastrophic Iran -Iraq war 1980-1988 and that the shite supremacy is coming to an end ..which is why the supreme shite needs a war?
Could Ali and the brilliant scholars of islam explain to Iranian women why they have to wear the Chador when allah clearly doesn’t understand the biology of human reproduction which is obvious from koran 86;6-7,one of allah’s numerous scientific howlers.Any woman today knows more about Biology than allah{“the knower of ALL things” koran 2:29 ..ALL things?..excluding BIOLOGY it seems….how can any woman worship a god-clearly a human impersonator ..who knows LESS about Biology than she does?
You used to be the Persians: a sophisticated people with an enormous Empire.What happened?Oh yeah khomeini came along in 1979 ,the Dark wizard of Izlam and you went back to the 7th century..The Iranian people would very likely get on with the Israelis otherwise,{Think of the Business opportunities you would have had! }but alas….
SC says
Frankly, I trust Iran way more than I have ever trusted biden’s DOJ or it’s bastard child agencies. ( Not that I believe biden ever had anything to do with selecting any of ‘his’ appointees either ).
Sorry guys I think this time you are probably being way too trusting of the US agencies involved.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Last time, it was Soleimani. This time, Trump should ask the military to target Khamenei
Taffy says
When Ismail Haniyeh was visiting Iran from Qatar to attend the inauguration of newly elected President Pezeshkian, Israel had the perfect opportunity to wipe out the entire slate of Who’s Who in Iran. The ceremony was held in the Iranian Parliament, and a single bomb delivered by an F-35 would’ve wiped out the Ayatollah and key figures in the Republican Guard, the Quds Force, etc. Of course, there would be international outrage for a week or two, but it would soon be gone in the world would be safe.
SC says
Another missed opportunity.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
I think Israel would have risked the ire of the US had they done that, given the way the Biden administration was trying to shield Hamas w/o officially shielding Hamas. But now that that regime is on its way out, Israel should start preparing to take out Khamenei. Yeah, if there is a major event in Teheran that enables Israel to send a lot more of the Iranian leadership to allah, they should absolutely make use of it
RICK says
If there was a video of Iranian mullahs hiring assassins to kill Trump the Iranians would use the black criminal excuse: “That person on tape isn’t me!”

It would be unfortunate if we planted a 500 lb JDAM in the Supreme Leader’s lap and then said, OOPS! We didn’t really want to splatter him all over the desert.

Do to these damn mullahs and politicians in iran exactly what they want to do to Trump, use a hellfire of JDAM though. Fair is fair and payback is a bitch!!
