The FBI is hunting for an alleged Iranian spy who is accused of plotting 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.

Pompeo and Brian Hook, former President Donald Trump’s special envoy for Iran, were given around-the-clock security following news of the threat, Semafor reported.
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.
