Federal Jury Convicts Iranian Operative for Plot to Assassinate U.S. Officials
A federal jury has found Asif Merchant, an Iranian intelligence operative, guilty of murder for hire and plotting a terrorist act across borders. The plot targeted President Donald Trump and other top U.S. officials during the 2024 election cycle. Merchant, who received training in spy tactics from Irans Revolutionary Guard Corps, arrived in the U.S. in April 2024 and began recruiting help later that year. He was arrested on July 12, 2024, before leaving the country. The case highlights the U.S. intelligence communitys efforts to disrupt foreign threats before they become deadly.
