US sets reward for info on Iranian behind plot to assassinate John Bolton

2024-09-27

[IsraelTimes) State Department offers $20 million after it discovered in 2020 that IRGC member Shahram Poursafi had paid someone $300,000 to kill Trump’s former national security advisor

The US State Department announced a $20 million reward on Thursday for information leading to the arrest of the alleged Iranian criminal mastermind behind a plot to assassinate former White House official John Bolton.

US officials said in August 2022 that they had uncovered a plot by Shahram Poursafi, a member of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), to kill Bolton, who served as national security advisor to former US president Donald Trump
...They hit him with slander, they impeached him twice. Nancy Pelosi tore up his State of the Union address on national TV. They stole an election and put his adherents in jail. They vilified him. They couldn't crucify him, so they shot him. Still, they can't keep him down...
The State Department’s "Rewards for Justice" program "is offering a reward of up to $20 million for information leading to the arrest or conviction" of Poursafi, a notice said Thursday.

The move comes as 78-year-old Trump, who is running for a new White House term, claimed there are "big threats" on his life by Iran.

Doesn’t he say that because he was told so by the Biden administration?

Bolton, considered a foreign policy hawk, is a fierce critic of Iran
Iran

...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate ~~Jews~~ ~~Zionists~~ Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
and advocated that Trump unilaterally withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal in 2018.

Poursafi allegedly offered an unidentified person inside the US $300,000 to kill Bolton in the capital area.

The plan was likely set in motion after the US killing of top Guards commander Qasem Soleimani in Iraq in January 2020, the Justice Department said at the time.

But it never made headway because the ostensible assassin became an informant of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Iranian authorities have dismissed the allegations as "fiction."

The US designated the entire Revolutionary Guard a "foreign terrorist organization" in 2019, after previously designating its external operation, the Quds Force.
