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

Iran is continuing to be a real nuisance for the United States.

They back terrorist groups in the Middle East and continue to oppose the United States.

The FBI has asked anyone with information to contact their local FBI office or the nearest American Embassy or consulate.

Iran vowed to take revenge on the US following the assassination of Soleimani, the commander of Iran’s Quds Force, the overseas arm of the elite Revolutionary Guards.

Soleimani was killed in Iraq in a drone strike in January, 2020, ordered by then-president Donald Trump.

Aside from Pompeo, the FBI also believes Iran is also targeting Brian Hook, Trump’s envoy to Tehran, the agency told Semafor.

Both Pompeo and Hook are currently under around-the-clock security due to the increased threat level.

Farahani was sanctioned by the Treasury department in December, which claimed he works for Iran to ‘aggressively target and stifle opponents and dissenting voices.’

Let us hope that the FBI can swiftly track this man down.
