35. So the FBI phoned Iran, and Shakeri happily admitted "yeah, I was plotting assassinations in the USA"?

This is not how such plots are normally discovered. OK, they realised (informants, surveillance, whatever) that Loadholt and Rivera were up to no good - planning the assassination of Masih Alinejad, and maybe Trump too, and those 2 were arrested. Either they gave up Shakeri's name, or surveillance etc. got that too. So they phone him in Iran, and he just says "yeah, I was arranging murder in your country - what you gonna do about it?"? Weird. I mean, people say "don't admit anything to the authorities" when you've been arrested, but when you're safely in an enemy country, and the authorities in that country won't want details of their plots going public? Seems a really dumb move to cop to it all.
