<br />
== Political career ==<br />
Kennedy opposed the [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]]-installed monarchy in [[Imperial State of Iran (1925β1979)|Iran]] and refused to visit Iran on a trip around the world. His brother, John F. Kennedy, had threatened to end U.S. support for the [[Mohammad Reza Pahlavi|Shah]] and publicly criticized his corruption.<ref name=":0">{{Web citation|author=[[Jeremy Kuzmarov]]|newspaper=[[CovertAction Magazine]]|title=New Evidence Implicates CIA, LAPD, FBI and Mafia as Plotters in Elaborate βHitβ Plan to Prevent RFK From Ever Reaching White House|date=2022-06-05|url=https://covertactionmagazine.com/2022/06/05/new-evidence-implicates-cia-lapd-fbi-and-mafia-as-plotters-in-elaborate-hit-plan-to-prevent-rfk-from-ever-reaching-white-house-2/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230519134221/https://covertactionmagazine.com/2022/06/05/new-evidence-implicates-cia-lapd-fbi-and-mafia-as-plotters-in-elaborate-hit-plan-to-prevent-rfk-from-ever-reaching-white-house-2/|archive-date=2023-05-19}}</ref><br />

== Assassination ==<br />
[[Sirhan Sirhan]], a 24-year old [[State of Palestine|Palestinian]] living in [[Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan|Jordan]], allegedly assassinated RFK while acting alone. As a child, Sirhan was traumatized by the [[State of Israel|Zionist occupation]] that destroyed his home in al-Quds. Sirhan was angry at RFK for sending 50 bombers to Israel.<br />
<br />
RFK's children, [[Robert F. Kennedy Jr.]] and [[Kathleen Townsend]], as well as [[Paul Schrade]], one of RFK's closest advisors, believed Sirhan was innocent. Sirhan's defense lawyer, Grant Cooper, worked for [[Johnny Rosselli]], who ran the CIA's anti-[[Fidel Castro|Castro]] program. In addition, Sirhan's gun only had eight bullets even though ten bullets were fired.<br />
<br />
According to RFK Jr., the real assassin was [[Thane Eugene Cesar]], who worked for [[Lockheed Martin Corporation|Lockheed]]. Cesar called the Kennedys, "the biggest bunch of crooks that ever walked the earth".<ref name=":0" /><br />
