An Iranian "assassination attempt" against Donald Trump was foiled by the FBI, The Justice Department has revealed.
The botched attempt was disclosed by the government department ahead of this weeks election, which saw Trump emerge victorious.
In September, an unnamed Iranian official instructed a US contact to together a plan to track and ultimately kill Trump.
The attempt was foiled by FBI agents.
The man, identified as Farhad Shakeri, reportedly used a network of criminal associates to conduct surveillance and assassination operations for the Iranian government.
An official Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) had instructed Shakeri to “focus on surveilling, and, ultimately, assassinating, former President of the United States, Donald J. Trump” in the concluding weeks of the 2024 campaign.
