Carlisle Rivera, a man who prosecutors say was hired by Iranian operative Farhad Shakeri as part of a murder-for-hire plot to assassinate Iranian dissident Masih Alinejad, was sentenced to 15 years in prison on Wednesday.
Shakeri told federal authorities that the IRGC also had tasked him with arranging to kill President Donald Trump before the 2024 election.
Two men, who prosecutors said were members of a Russian mob hired by Iran, received 25-year prison terms in October for attempting to kill Alinejad at her Brooklyn home.
After Rivera was sentenced, Alinejad told CBS News, "Justice is always beautiful.
At the same time, she recalled feeling fear, remembering how for years the Iranian regime said America is the "great Satan" and "the biggest enemy of Iran."
