According to the FBI, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, through their intermediary Farhad Shakeri, an Afghan man, hired “Pop” Rivera,A 49-year-old welder from Brooklyn, New York, as one of the individuals allegedly involved in an assassination plot.In November 2024, after Trump won the election, the FBI’s investigation uncovered damning evidence, including text messages, photos, and voice recordings that detailed surveillance and assassination plans.But why would Iran want to assassinate President Trump.It all started back in 2020 when three U.S. Reaper drones, armed with Hellfire missiles, lay in wait for an Airbus A Three Twenty from Damascus to land.It was here that two cars arrived to pick up one of the Middle East’s most feared generals, Qassem Soleimani of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard.At that moment, the Reaper drone launched three Hellfire missiles at the two vehicles, sending them airborne.
