US offers $20m bounty for Iranian accused of plans to kill Trump aide

The US is offering a $20m (£15m) reward for information leading to the arrest of an Iranian man accused of plotting to assassinate Donald Trump's former National Security Advisor John Bolton.

Shahram Poursafi, a member of Iran's Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC), is accused of trying to hire criminals in the US to kill Mr Bolton, a vocal Iran critic, in exchange for $300,000.

The reward announcement comes in the same week that Trump said he had been briefed by US intelligence about an alleged Iranian assassination plot against him.

Iran has previously denied orchestrating any plots to assassinate Trump officials or interfere in US affairs.

It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Iran Is Still Trying To Assassinate Mike Pompeo, State Department Discloses to Congress in Non-Public Memo

Iran is still actively engaged in plots to assassinate two senior Trump administration officials, including former secretary of state Mike Pompeo, according to a non-public notice sent to Congress and obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.

The notification, which the State Department transmitted to congressional leaders last week, reveals that Pompeo and former U.S. Iran envoy Brian Hook continue to face "serious and credible" threats from a foreign nation, reported to be Iran.

The findings come on the eve of a contested presidential election in which Iran's plots to assassinate former president Donald Trump have taken center stage in recent weeks. Trump was briefed late last month about real and specific threats from Iran to assassinate him in an effort to destabilize and sow chaos in the United States, according to his campaign.

Trump said last month on social media that there are "big threats on my life by Iran." He added that "moves were already made by Iran that didn't work out, but they will try again." ...
