Is Biden Keeping a Plot to Kill a Former Trump Official Quiet So He Can Strike a Deal With Iran?

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Biden administration has forged ahead in negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program despite reports that the country’s top leaders have ordered the assassinations of John Bolton and Mike Pompeo.

Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khameni considers former national security adviser Bolton and ex-Secretary of State Pompeo responsible for the assassination of Quds Force Commander Qasem Soleimani, the Washington Examiner first reported. As a result, he reportedly ordered Soleimani’s successor, Esmail Qaani, to avenge the dead general.

Both Pompeo and Bolton have had their Secret Service protections extended by Congress over the threats, despite their returns to private life. Agents in marked vehicles were seen by neighbors outside of Bolton’s suburban Maryland home in late January. Prosecutors reportedly have enough evidence to bring charges against conspirators, but no arrests have been made.

As a policy, the Justice Department and Secret Service do not comment on active investigations. (Read more from “Is Biden Keeping a Plot to Kill a Former Trump Official Quiet So He Can Strike a Deal With Iran?” HERE)

Police: Woman Accused of Stabbing Man as Revenge Against US Drone Strike That Killed Iranian Leader

/1 Comment/in , /by

A woman is accused of stabbing a man in the neck on March 5 at a hotel near Las Vegas. The 21-year-old woman said she committed the stabbing as revenge for the 2020 U.S. drone strike that killed Iranian general Qassem Soleimani, according to police. . .

Nikoubin allegedly met a man on the dating site Plenty of Fish, then lured him to the Sunset Station Hotel and Casino in Henderson, Nevada. While inside the hotel room, the couple began engaging in sexual activity. Nikoubin put a blindfold on the man, then turned the lights off. Several minutes later, the victim “felt a pain on the side of his neck,” KLAS-TV reported. She reportedly pulled out a knife from her purse and attacked the unsuspecting victim.

The man pushed Nikoubin off of him and then ran out of the 14th-floor hotel room to call the police around 10:30 that night. Nikoubin also ran out of the room, and told a hotel employee that she had just stabbed a man, police said.

Nikoubin allegedly told authorities at the Henderson Police Department that she stabbed the man as revenge for the death of Qassem Soleimani – who was killed during a U.S. Air Force drone strike on Jan. 3, 2020. Soleimani was the leader of Iran’s elite Quds Force.

Former Iranian President Praises Ukraine’s ‘Resistance,’ Rebukes Islamic Republic’s Support for Russia

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has expressed his support for Ukraine in its war with Russia.

Ahmadinejad tweeted yesterday to the “great nation of #Ukraine” and its president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

“Your honorable and almost unrivalled resistance uncovered the Satanic plots of enemies of mankind,” wrote Ahmadinejad on the social media site.

“Trust that the great nation of #Iran is standing by you, while admiring this heroic persistence,” he added. . .

The comments by Ahmadinejad, who was president of Iran from 2005 to 2013, directly contradicted the Islamic Republic’s stance on the conflict, which supports Russia. Last week, Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian blamed the war on “provocations” by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) alliance.

State Department’s Virtual Iran Embassy Uses Kamala Harris Quote to Slam US

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Biden administration’s Virtual Embassy for Iran used a quote by Vice President Kamala Harris translated into Farsi to castigate the US this week for xenophobia, anti-Semitism, homophobia and other forms of discrimination.

“The truth is: there is racial discrimination in America,” read the translated social media post from Wednesday. “There is xenophobia in America. Anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, homophobia, transphobia, all exist. Tackling injustice wherever it is, activity is ahead.”

The State Department posted an English-language version of the tweet on Jan. 17 to mark Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

“.@VP on injustice,” the post began before quoting Harris. “‘Here’s the truth: Racism exists in America. Xenophobia exists in America. Anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, homophobia, transphobia, it all exists. The work to address injustice wherever it exists remains the work ahead.’”

A White House official confirmed to The Post that the quote is taken from remarks Harris made this past May at a ceremony for President Biden signing the COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act. (Read more from “State Department’s Virtual Iran Embassy Uses Kamala Harris Quote to Slam US” HERE)

Disturbing: Iran Only ‘Months’ From Making Nuclear Bomb

/0 Comments/in , /by

Iran’s Islamic regime is trying to delay negotiations on its nuclear program because it is only 12 to 18 months away from developing a bomb, according to the top Republican on the House Foreign Affairs Committee.

U.S. Rep. Michael McCaul of Texas told Republican leaders at a briefing that Russia is trying to take the lead on negotiations and has a secret agreement with Iran.

“The Biden administration still thinks that negotiating at the table is the way to go,” he said.

The GOP leader said he suspects Tehran’s “strategy is to delay the negotiations until they can achieve a nuclear bomb.”

“By most estimates, without getting into classified, they are on the cusp of their enrichment to nuclear grade that could be delivered and a nuclear bomb within the next year to year and a half,” the Texas lawmaker said. “We have to make some serious decisions at that point.” (Read more from “Disturbing: Iran Only ‘Months’ From Making Nuclear Bomb” HERE)

Shin Bet Arrests 5 Jewish Israelis Suspected of Spying for Iran

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Shin Bet security service has arrested five Jewish Israelis accused of assisting an Iranian operative, who often pretended to be a Jewish man, in gathering intelligence and making connections in Israel, the Shin Bet said Wednesday.

In some cases, the suspects told investigators they were aware that Namdar may have been an Iranian intelligence operative, but continued their communications with him anyway, according to the security service. The five suspects — four women and one man — are all Jewish immigrants from Iran or the descendants of Iranian immigrants. Their names were barred from publication under a court-issued gag order requested by their attorneys.

According to the Shin Bet, the suspects took photographs of strategically significant sites in Israel, including the US Consulate in Tel Aviv; attempted to form relationships with politicians; provided information about security arrangements at different sites; and committed other offenses — all at the direction of the Iranian operative, who went by the name Rambod Namdar, in exchange for thousands of dollars. . .

The investigation and resulting indictments shed light on the rare and little-discussed phenomenon of Jews from Iran traveling to Israel to visit family. In one case, such a trip — by one of the suspects’ nieces — was used to transport funds from Iran to Israel in order to pay the Israelis working for Namdar, according to the charge sheet.

Twitter Allows Iranian Threats To Assassinate Former President Trump

/1 Comment/in , /by

Twitter is allowing official Iranian government accounts to issue death threats against former president Donald Trump and other Trump administration officials.

Twitter’s refusal to remove these ongoing threats is renewing congressional scrutiny on the social media platform. Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, the regime’s paramilitary fighting force that engages in terrorism and assassination plots, tweeted during the weekend that it will take revenge for the death of terror mastermind Qassem Soleimani, who two years ago was killed in Iraq in a drone strike ordered by Trump.

“The Islamic Republic of Iran considers vengeance against those responsible for the Baghdad crime to be the right of all believers; whether they are drops in the ocean or bits of sand in the desert they’ll seek vengeance next to the criminals’ homes,” the corps’s official account tweeted in Farsi, alongside a picture of Trump golfing. The post was independently translated for the Washington Free Beacon.

The tweet is the latest Iranian threat, online and elsewhere, to assassinate Trump and other senior U.S. officials—including former secretary of state Mike Pompeo—for their role in Soleimani’s killing. Republican lawmakers in comments to the Free Beacon said that Twitter continues to unevenly uphold its community guidelines. Violence and threats are not tolerated on the platform, and prominent conservative voices, including Trump, have been banned from the platform for alleged infractions. Top Iranian officials, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, and scores of other terrorist groups, however, use Twitter to promote violence against the United States, Israel, Jews, and other U.S. allies.

White House Worried Iran Is Plotting Assassination Attempts Against Trump Administration Officials

/1 Comment/in , /by

Iran’s imposition of “sanctions” on dozens of Americans amounts to an assassination threat against members of former President Donald Trump’s administration, according to a senior U.S. official who threatened “severe consequences” for any harm done to them.

“Make no mistake: the United States of America will protect and defend its citizens,” White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan said Sunday. “This includes those serving the United States now and those who formerly served.”

Iranian officials have made explicit their interest in killing one of the people involved in the U.S. strike that killed Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Gen. Qassem Soleimani. The regime observed the second anniversary of his death last week, which occasioned a flurry of truculent rhetoric and the unveiling of economic sanctions by Iran that U.S. observers take as a proxy for a threat of violence.

“Wherever it is needed, we will provide for the basis of revenge against the Americans from within their houses and by people by their side without us being present,” IRGC Quds Force Commander Sardar Esmail Qaani said in remarks published by Iranian media. “If wise people in America are found who deal with those who committed the atrocity of assassinating Commander Soleimani, this action will be much less burdensome for America than if the offspring of the Resistance Front, who know no bounds, to themselves go and take this revenge.”

That statement sharpens the point of the economic sanctions that Tehran unveiled this weekend, according to observers. (Read more from “White House Worried Iran Is Plotting Assassination Attempts Against Trump Administration Officials” HERE)

Iran Destroys Target With Ballistic Missile in Terrifying Warning as U.S. Nuke Tensions Soar

/0 Comments/in , /by

Iran’s Revolutionary Guards destroyed targets using their ballistic and cruise missiles on Tuesday during war games in the Gulf, according to state TV. This missile test is seen as an Iranian show of force against the US and Israel, amid heightened tensions between Iran and the two countries over possible Israeli plans to target Iranian nuclear sites.

Speaking to the broadcaster, Guards chief General Hossein Salami said: “The use of ballistic missiles by the Revolutionary Guards’ navy is a new concept … and they hit their targets with 100% precision.”

Iran has claimed that its ballistic missiles have a range of 2,000 km and are capable of reaching Israel and U.S. military bases in the Middle East.

On Monday, Tehran warned of a “crushing” response to any act of aggression taken by Israel, which is staunchly opposed to Iran becoming a nuclear power.

Israel currently opposes efforts by world powers to revive Tehran’s 2015 nuclear deal. It has even threatened military action against Iran if diplomacy fails to prevent the country from acquiring a nuclear bomb.

Iran Declares: ‘We Will Not Back Off From the Annihilation of Israel’

/0 Comments/in , /by

With the Biden administration set to restart a new round of nuclear talks with the Islamic Republic of Iran, the spokesperson for Iran’s military stated over the weekend that they will not give up their pursuit of wiping Israel off the face of the earth.

“We will not back off from the annihilation of Israel, even one millimeter,” Brig.-Gen. Abolfazl Shekarchi, spokesman for the Islamic Republic of Iran’s armed forces, told the Iranian Students News Agency. “We want to destroy Zionism in the world.”

The Jerusalem Post added:

The Iranian general also blasted Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates for normalizing diplomatic relations with Israel, terming the diplomacy “intolerable” for Iran’s clerical regime. “Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, UAE and other countries considered as Muslims, for us they part of the Zionist regime and this is very important,” said Shekarchi.

The comments from Iran’s military come as the Biden administration and other nations are set to resume nuclear talks in what is now the seventh-round of talks to take place. (Read more from “Iran Declares: ‘We Will Not Back Off From the Annihilation of Israel’” HERE)
