NEW YORK, NY – During an exclusive interview at Hudson Yards, Iran’s acting Foreign Minister Ali Bagheri Kani engaged in a discussion with journalist Fareed Zakaria regarding recent allegations of an Iranian assassination plot against former President Donald Trump.
The alleged plot, as reported by US authorities, was based on intelligence provided by a human source, prompting an increase in security measures around Trump by the Secret Service. However, the Permanent Mission of the Islamic Republic of Iran to the United Nations denied these accusations.
In the interview, Zakaria probed Kani about the potential connection between the alleged plot and the assassination of Qasem Soleimani, a senior Iranian general who was killed in January 2020 during the Trump administration. Kani emphasized the intention to pursue legal and judicial means to hold accountable those responsible for Soleimani’s assassination.
When questioned about the use of violence in seeking justice, Kani reiterated Iran’s commitment to adhering to legal and judicial processes at both domestic and international levels. He emphasized the significance of bringing individuals involved in Soleimani’s assassination to a fair court of law.
Kani’s stance on pursuing legal avenues for justice in response to alleged provocations was firm throughout the interview. The full conversation between Zakaria and Kani is scheduled to air on “Fareed Zakaria GPS” at 10 a.m. ET on Sunday, offering viewers further insights into the matter.
