The US Justice Department has accused a senior official from Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) of involvement in a plot to kill an Iranian American dissident in New York City. According to the indictment, Ruhollah Bazghandi and three other Iranian citizens contracted members of an Eastern European criminal organization to carry out the murder-for-hire scheme. The target of the alleged plot was not named publicly until Masih Alinejad, a journalist and activist, confirmed that she was the potential victim.
