A man has been charged in connection with an alleged Iranian plot to assassinate US President elect Donald Trump before he was elected as the next president.

The US Justice Department says Farhad Shakeri was an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps asset tasked with planning a way to kill Donald Trump - who was referred to as 'victim 4'.

The plot is consistent with what federal officials say are ongoing efforts by Iran to target U.S. government officials on American soil.
