Iran still considers Donald Trump its top assassination target, according to former US national security adviser John Bolton, who said Tehran maintains a list of current and former American officials marked for revenge.
Bolton, speaking on a podcast hosted by Sky News’ Yalda Hakim, said Iran's “terror network is really quite extensive in Europe and the United States,” and warned of Tehran’s persistent intent to avenge the killing of Qassem Soleimani, the IRGC commander slain in a 2020 US drone strike ordered by Trump.
The US Justice Department in 2022 charged Iranian national Shahram Poursafi with attempting to hire a hitman—who turned out to be an FBI informant—to kill Bolton.
