FBI adds IRGC operative accused in John Bolton murder-for-hire plot to its Most Wanted Terrorists list
The FBI on Tuesday placed Shahram Poursafi, a member of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, on its Most Wanted Terrorists list for allegedly soliciting the murders of two former U.S. government officials between October 2021 and April 2022, Fox News reported. Court documents detail an alleged plot targeting former National Security Advisor John Bolton, and Poursafi allegedly sought to pay people in the U.S. $300,000 to carry it out, in what was believed to be retaliation for the January 2020 killing of IRGC commander Qasem Soleimani.
