The FBI in Miami is seeking an Iranian intelligence officer wanted in connection with the targeting of U.S. government officials for assassination.
Majid Dastjani Farahani is wanted for questioning in connection with the recruitment of individuals for various operations in the United States, the FBI in Miami said in a wanted poster issued Friday.
Farahani is believed to be connected with the targeting of current and former U.S. officials as revenge for the killing of Iranian Commander Qasem Soleimani.
Soleimani, who headed the expeditionary Quds force of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps, was killed in a U.S. drone strike in Baghdad in January 2020 that was approved by then-President Donald Trump.
Iraq later issued an arrest warrant for Trump over the killing.
Farahani, believed to be 41, speaks Farsi, English, Spanish, and French, and has ties to Iran and Venezuela, the FBI said.
