Some in Iran’s new, more moderate government think the result of the presidential election provides an opportunity to make a lasting deal with the United States.

The Iranian regime fiercely denies accusations by Washington, D.C., that one of its citizens had been planning to kill U.S. president-elect Donald Trump. As Bianca Facchinei reports, an Iranian assassination plot — if found to be true — would just confirm Tehran's already deep distrust of the man who's about to reclaim the White House.

Iran has denied its involvement in an alleged plot to assassinate United States President-elect Donald Trump. An Afghanistan national has been charged by the US Justice Department in connection to the plan.
