‘Iran Behind Int’l Terror and May Aim for US’
‘Iran Behind Int’l Terror and May Aim for US’ – Global Agenda – News – Israel National News.
By Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu
Iran’s Revolutionary Guards’ Quds Force terrorists and their proxies are behind recent attacks on U.S. officials and may soon try to strike in the United States, counterterrorist officials in the Obama administration told a Senate committee Wednesday.
Testimony at the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee hearing so far has largely been ignored by mainstream media and was reported only by the conservative Washington Times.
“We have seen an uptick in operational activity by the Quds Force over the last year or so,” National Counter-Terrorism Center Director Matthew G. Olsen said at the hearing, adding that the elite military cell, “poses a threat beyond the immediate [Middle East] region” as well as U.S. territory.
Olsen noted that the federal government last year prosecuted a senior member of the Quds for his part in a failed plot to assassinate the Saudi Arabia ambassador to the United States by bombing a Washington restaurant.
Another “significant source of concern for us” is the Iranian-funded Hizbullah terrorist organization, said Kevin L. Perkins, associate deputy director of the FBI, citing Hizbullah as “a serious problem, a serious threat.”
Reports from defectors from the Syrian army, most recently Major General Adnan Sillu, confirm fears that the Assad regime has desk drawer plans to give Hizbullah access to chemical weapons for rocket attacks on Israel.
Sillo told the Times of London what most observers suspect – that Syrian President Bashar Assad has “nothing to lose” by letting Hizbullah use chemical weapons because “if a war starts between Hizbullah and Israel, it will be only good for Syria.”

“Iran’s Revolutionary Guards’ Quds Force terrorists and their proxies are behind recent attacks on U.S. officials ”
I’ve been saying that all along. Obama and his mainstream media are ignoring Iran’s role in the recent uprisings. First it was the infamous movie, then it was foreign fighters, then pro-Gadfaffi supporters, then Al Qaeda, but never any mention of Iran’s role. Once again, Iran gets another pass.

I wrote here before a certain number of days – and that can be verified, of course – that iranian agents of their foreign intervention force are already in the field, taking part in those events.
But this is not the point. The point is that the War On Terror cannot wait for the reelection process in the States to be finished.
Barak Obama is still the commander in chief. We want to see him do something on those issues and not being busy on cover up stories. This is a dangerous policy to conduct.

As usual these allegations are without a shred of evidence.
Whatever happened to the whiskey drinking, pot smoking American-Iranian second hand car dealer too-stupid-to-tie-his-own-shoelaces, that was supposed to be the mastermind in orchestrating an assassination attempt on the Saudi Ambassador by hiring a hit-squad from Mexican drugs gangsters?
