since President Trump ordered the assassination of Iranian General Qasem Soleimani in January 2020.<\/p>\n<p>In the previous year, federal prosecutors charged an operative from Iran\u2019s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, along with two individuals based in the U.S., in connection with a scheme to surveil and assassinate critics of the Iranian regime. Prosecutors assert that the IRGC operative confessed to investigators that he was being urged by senior Iranian officials to orchestrate an attack aimed at President Trump.<\/p>\n<p>U.S. law enforcement and intelligence officials have spent years alerting about Tehran\u2019s capacity to orchestrate or incite terror plots within America, a concern that has only intensified since Soleimani\u2019s demise. The FBI, Department of Homeland Security, and various other agencies have allocated substantial resources to mitigate this threat.<\/p>\n<p>Potential targets are diverse. In recent years, prosecutors have brought charges against individuals for conspiring to assassinate former national security adviser John Bolton and Iranian American journalist Masih Alinejad, both of whom are vocal critics of the Iranian regime.<\/p>\n<div class=\"google-auto-placed ap_container\"><ins class=\"adsbygoogle adsbygoogle-noablate\" data-ad-format=\"auto\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-9221018705729438\" data-adsbygoogle-status=\"done\" data-ad-status=\"unfilled\"><\/p>\n<div id=\"aswift_7_host\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" id=\"aswift_7\" tabindex=\"0\" title=\"Advertisement\" src=\"https:\/\/googleads.g.doubleclick.net\/pagead\/ads?gdpr=0&amp;client=ca-pub-9221018705729438&amp;output=html&amp;h=280&amp;adk=3484715255&amp;adf=3707475242&amp;w=820&amp;abgtt=6&amp;fwrn=4&amp;fwrnh=100&amp;lmt=1750637878&amp;num_ads=1&amp;rafmt=1&amp;armr=3&amp;sem=mc&amp;pwprc=4646703388&amp;ad_type=text_image&amp;format=820x280&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fcelebys.com%2Ffbi-increased-security-around-trump-administration-officials-ahead-of-iran-strike-2%2F%3Ffbclid%3DIwY2xjawLGuaVleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETBTTWJKQU9ob3d2WUd4QkwzAR5nML1i7yIaiW1BblUFFImbaBwt_DnNTw71jsPP-oWgx163pk7J5K3QXL1uAg_aem_YHZgh9Rq--OZ0l5gtovbqQ&amp;fwr=0&amp;pra=3&amp;rh=200&amp;rw=820&amp;rpe=1&amp;resp_fmts=3&amp;wgl=1&amp;fa=27&amp;uach=WyJXaW5kb3dzIiwiMTkuMC4wIiwieDg2IiwiIiwiMTM3LjAuNzE1MS4xMjAiLG51bGwsMCxudWxsLCI2NCIsW1siR29vZ2xlIENocm9tZSIsIjEzNy4wLjcxNTEuMTIwIl0sWyJDaHJvbWl1bSIsIjEzNy4wLjcxNTEuMTIwIl0sWyJOb3QvQSlCcmFuZCIsIjI0LjAuMC4wIl1dLDBd&amp;dt=1750719063580&amp;bpp=1&amp;bdt=607&amp;idt=-M&amp;shv=r20250617&amp;mjsv=m202506180101&amp;ptt=9&amp;saldr=aa&amp;abxe=1&amp;cookie=ID%3Dd947d8fbfc28d69c%3AT%3D1750381118%3ART%3D1750719061%3AS%3DALNI_MYpp_F5nfgaz8T3bTgkMX8_naz5gQ&amp;gpic=UID%3D000010e23745ceff%3AT%3D1750381118%3ART%3D1750719061%3AS%3DALNI_MaQeY0v2J68n3tcj4RhW6uSZD23oQ&amp;eo_id_str=ID%3D77c24d4442b18b6c%3AT%3D1750381118%3ART%3D1750719061%3AS%3DAA-AfjZkNbCeVr3gRc3H7b0swlzK&amp;prev_fmts=0x0%2C1200x280%2C820x280%2C820x280%2C820x280%2C820x280%2C820x280&amp;nras=2&amp;correlator=2839746028527&amp;frm=20&amp;pv=1&amp;u_tz=120&amp;u_his=1&amp;u_h=1080&amp;u_w=1920&amp;u_ah=1032&amp;u_aw=1920&amp;u_cd=24&amp;u_sd=1.1&amp;dmc=8&amp;adx=456&amp;ady=1919&amp;biw=1732&amp;bih=859&amp;scr_x=0&amp;scr_y=54&amp;eid=95353387%2C95362435%2C95362655%2C95364339%2C31093075%2C95364386%2C95359265%2C95364335%2C95364391&amp;oid=2&amp;pvsid=938833115851894&amp;tmod=181868918&amp;uas=0&amp;nvt=1&amp;ref=https%3A%2F%2Fl.facebook.com%2F&amp;fc=1408&amp;brdim=0%2C0%2C0%2C0%2C1920%2C0%2C1920%2C1032%2C1745%2C859&amp;vis=1&amp;rsz=%7C%7Cs%7C&amp;abl=NS&amp;fu=128&amp;bc=31&amp;bz=1.1&amp;td=1&amp;tdf=2&amp;psd=W251bGwsW251bGwsbnVsbCxudWxsLCJkZXByZWNhdGVkX2thbm9uIl0sbnVsbCwzXQ..&amp;nt=1&amp;pgls=CAEaBTYuOC4x~CAA.~CAA.&amp;ifi=8&amp;uci=a!8&amp;btvi=6&amp;fsb=1&amp;dtd=161\" name=\"aswift_7\" width=\"820\" height=\"0\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" sandbox=\"allow-forms allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox allow-same-origin allow-scripts allow-top-navigation-by-user-activation\" data-google-container-id=\"a!8\" aria-label=\"Advertisement\" data-load-complete=\"true\" data-google-query-id=\"CNqUyd7QiI4DFcpZpAQdmTs5pQ\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><\/ins><\/div>\n<p>Bolton received Secret Service protection in 2021;
