FBI hunting for Iranian spy who allegedly plotted assassination of Mike Pompeo, other US officials

The FBI is hunting for an alleged Iranian spy who is accused of plotting to assassinate former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and other American officials.

Majid Dastjani Farahani speaks Farasi, French, Spanish and English and frequently travels between Iran and Venezuela, according to an alert Friday by the agency’s Miami field office.

The 41-year-old suspected member of Iran’s brutal Ministry of Intelligence and Security had been recruiting “individuals for operations in the U.S., to include lethal targeting of current/former [U.S. government] officials,” the FBI said.

The alert came as Iran sought to avenge the 2020 US assassination of Major General Qasem Soleimani under Pompeo’s watch.

Farahani had been recruiting individuals “as revenge” for Soleimani’s death, according to the feds.

A member of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corp was indicted in 2022 for an alleged revenge plot to kill former national security advisor John Bolton.

Shahram Poursafi, aka Mehdi Rezayi, “tried to hatch a brazen plot” to have Bolton killed, “likely in retaliation” for the assassination of Soleimani, Iran’s most recognizable battlefield commander, the feds said.

He had allegedly attempted to pay people $300,000 to carry out the murder in Washington, DC or Maryland.

Soleimani directed a network of militias that targeted American troops in Iraq, and had more “American blood on his hands” than any terrorist since Osama Bin Laden, a heavily redacted 2021 Department of Justice report on the Baghdad airstrike that killed him said.

A United Nations human rights investigator said in 2020 that the strike, which killed nine other people, “was unlawful and arbitrary under international law” and in violation of the UN Charter.
