Doesn't look like the UK Prime Minister needs to worry about the Iranian playbook.
Citizen from Pakistan suspected of assassination plot against Donald Trump. The U.S. Department of Justice writes in a statement that the man is said to have close ties to Iran.
The man is said to have flown from Pakistan to the United States and contacted a person who he thought could help with the arrangement, after which the person contacted American authorities. As a result, the man instead tried to recruit hitmen who turned out to be FBI agents working undercover, and made it possible for the man to be brought to justice. FBI Director Christopher Wray describes the assassination plot as "straight out of the Iranian playbook." Watch the feature on SVT News.
