This claim is true and confirmed by an article from the New Delhi Television news site. However, the sources of the article refer to are not made especially clear, especially in how quotes are sourced and in what context. Regardless, the charge of an "Iranian asset" in an ostensible threat on Donald J. Trump's life is confirmed by this press release from U.S Department of Justice(https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/justice-department-announces-murder-hire-and-related-charges-against-irgc-asset-and-two)

This is a great fact check! I like how you found an article from the government as this claim strongly relates to it. My only suggestion would be to add one other article that backs this up with clearer detail, such as CNN's recent article
