Iranians charged with spying on Jews in U.S. raise specter of assassination plots here
The Justice Department has brought charges against two Iranians for spying on Jewish and opposition groups in the U.S. in 2017-18.
Court documents raise the possibility that Tehran’s hard-line Islamic regime is hunting for bombing and assassination targets, which would represent a huge escalation in hostility toward the West. Iran has targeted foes in Europe for eradication.
Ahmadreza Doostdar and Majid Ghorbani were indicted on charges of being illegal agents of a foreign power — Iran.
On a wiretap, Mr. Ghorbani, a California resident, is heard singling out an opposing figure for assassination. “M…..F needs one, one shot,” he said. He is scheduled for a detention hearing on Tuesday.
The charges come as President Trump has embarked on a get-tough policy toward Iran, whom the U.S. deems the No. 1 state sponsor of terrorism. Mr. Trump pulled out of the Obama-era nuclear deal and is urging allies to re-apply economic sanctions.
