A federal trial in New York is underway for Asif Merchant, a Pakistani national accused of plotting to hire hit men for a US politician in 2024. Prosecutors link the scheme to Irans Revolutionary Guard, with potential targets including then-candidate Donald Trump. Evidence includes photos of Trump and Biden on Merchants laptop and testimony from an FBI agent about a Revolutionary Guard handler. Merchants defense argues the governments story is flawed, pointing to unrecorded interviews and Merchants denial of terrorism charges. Merchant was arrested in Texas before returning to Pakistan. The trial unfolds amid heightened US-Iran tensions and a pattern of Iranian plots against Americans.
