Islamic Republic of Iran sets up network of jihad terror cells in Africa

Jun 27, 2019 10:42 am By Robert Spencer

This is the regime that the Left in the United States is working assiduously to preserve, protect, and defend.

“Tehran sets up terror cells in Africa as Western sanctions bite,” by Con Coughlin, Telegraph, June 24, 2019:

Iran is setting up a network of terror cells in Africa to attack US and other Western targets in retaliation for Washington’s decision to impose sanctions against Tehran, according to Western security officials.

The new terror network has been established on the orders of Qassem Suleimani, the head of the Quds Force, the elite section of Iran’s Republican Guard Corps that has responsibility for overseas operations.

The aim of the new terror cell is to target US and other Western military bases on the continent, as well as embassies and officials.

The Iranian cells are said to be active in a number of African countries including Sudan, Chad, Ghana, Niger, Gambia and the Central African Republic….

    America arms and supports Sunni Islamic jihadists that are mass-murdering Christians in Libya, Syria, Iraq, Yemen and in the Balkans! America gives one Billion dollars to nuclear-armed Pakistan annually where Christians are routinely murdered in the streets, where Osama Bin-Laden was hiding for years, Where Khalid Sheik mohamed, the mastermind of 9/11 attacks was born and where Taliban and Al-Qaeda and many other anti-Indian jihadist groups have numerous basis! America is also in bed with the savage, head-chopping maniacal Saudi Arabia which is the ideological, the religious and the financial source of the global islamic jihad movements and its also where almost all of the 9/11 attackers were born and indoctrinated! Mind you, non-muslims are banned to enter many major cities in SaudiArabia like Mecca and Madina and if any non-muslim seen there they would be immediately beheaded and their bodies crucified!

    Don’t believe US and “deep state” propaganda against Iran because Iran actually fights Al-Qaeda and ISIS and prevented them from taking over Syria and Iraq whereas the US and its allies supported them and still support them in Idlib Syria! As we speak, America is transferring nuclear technology to Saudi Arabia. Wake up to the reality!

      Seriously? France and Germany would gladly sell nuclear reactors to Saudi Arabia. The oil won’t last forever. One doesn’t wait for his car to run out of fuel before procuring more.

        The Islamic kingdom of Saudi Arabia in no friend of any Western nation, Saudi Arabia is best defined as a kingdom of Islamic hate

        As one Arab scholar who had lived in a Middle Eastern country, for many years revealed “Saudi madrassa notably teach hatred and condemnation of the West and non-Muslims” and “The Saudi Government also provides free textbooks to Islamic schools throughout the world . many of the Saudi- Issued textbook’s contain wording that encourages hatred and intolerance for non-Muslims.” [1]

        Saudi Arabia in many ways is no better than Iran.

        [1] THEY MUST BE STOPPED by Brigitte Gabriel, page 106

          All Muslim countries have the hate book. You don’t actually believe our EU allies love us? It’s all about necessity. Remember when Stalin was an ally? This is reality. The Saudis are useful as allies for specific purposes and not for others.

      Hi CB. So, no comments on the fine Iranians you repeatedly assured us were “peaceful” but are now – as they’ve been for decades – building terror networks to attack Westerners eh? Just your standard ramblings about the US. As expected in any topic that doesn’t portray Iran in a positive way…

      “Don’t believe US and “deep state” propaganda against Iran”

      Right, much better to believe the Iranians themselves, with their increasingly belicose behaviour and decades of promising to obliterate Israel mingled between shouts of “Death to America!!!”.

      “Saudi Arabia which is the ideological, the religious and the financial source of the global islamic jihad movements”

      Would that include the topic of this article – the Iranians setting up terrorist networks with the express intent to murder Westerners? Not that you care for Westerners, since you claimed that Western children murdered in jihad attacks deserved it…

        But then, christianblood has also threatened Americans that Iranians will mass murder them if they dare say anything critical about them. christianblood has never cared about being consistent and logical–especially when it comes to his defending his beloved Mullahs.

        You are only spewing state department anti-Iranian propaganda. Can’t you do your own independent research or you just have parrot whatever the state department or the CIA tells you about Iran? The CIA in which you so fanatically believe in, is an organizations that lies, cheats, steals and deceives all the time
        as their ex-leader will tell you openly! How can you believe in such an organization?

        • gravenimage says

          Jun 27, 2019 at 7:06 pm

          The story above is from the Telegraph, not the CIA.

          And is christianblood claiming that he is able to do independent research into Iran’s Jihad terror activities? He *loves* the Mullahs, but I don’t think they’re *that* tight…

    Ask your self:

    Why Iran but not Pakistan or Saudi Arabia?

    • Westman says

      Jun 27, 2019 at 12:05 pm

      Could it have something to do with leadership saying, “yes, Death to America”? Or perhaps, supplying shaped charges to blow up American military vehicles? Supplying funds to terrorists? Stating its primary goal is annihilating Israel? And those “peaceful” bragadicios that keep coming from its rabid-dog military generals?

      I personally knew Iranians that I admired before the 1979 revolution ruined Iran. Like the Germans before Hitler the majority would never have sought war without a deranged leader. Iran has that deluded leader with a justifying war religion that is but another “Reich” that would simply replace him with another despot if he passed. The new Iranian Reich is what must be dismantled, not just the sick leadership.

      Yes, there are wonderful Iranians, just as there were wonderful Germans. However the leadership is choosing the path of Muhammad, conquest through proxies with the promise of direct conquest when achieving parity with Israel.

      We may all be saddened by the prospect of war, however, Iranians have failed to remove their dictator who wants control of Mecca, the end of Israel, and damage to the US.

      War is coming and Iran’s leaders have run to despotic non-Muslim countries to find allies because they have none – a result of their own making.

      My original prediction was war within two months. Five weeks left.

      christianblood continues to pretend that if Anti-Jihadists object to Jihad waged by Shia Muslims that this–somehow–means that we are for Jihad waged by Sunnis Muslims. What claptrap.

    That tyrannical Islamic regime of Iran with its insidious jihad scheming had set up and established Islamic terror cells because of the vicious has for America and her Western allies . As the above article informs the reader “Iran is setting up a network of terror cells in Africa to attack US and other Western targets in retaliation for Washington’s decision to impose sanctions against Tehran…”

    Concerning the later part of this just sited quote. that Iran has done so “in retaliation for Washington’s decision to impose sanctions against Tehran.” This second half of this sentence strongly proves the saying to be true . The saying is that “Evil is always looking for an excuse..”

  4. Walter Sieruk says

    This sinister and malicious behavior of that “mullah regime’ in establishing jihad terror cells in Africa to use as their tools to launch attack, by a number of methods against the USA and other target of the West does much reflect the character of those Muslim fiends in power in that Islamic tyranny of Iran.

    The mullahs and others in control of this Islamic tyrannical regime of Iran may be described in Psalm 73:6—9 which read “Therefore pride is their necklace:: they clothe themselves with violence. From their callous hearts comes iniquity; their evil ;their evil imaginations have no limits. They scoff and speak with malice; with arrogance they threaten oppression. Their mouths lay claim to heaven, and their tongues take possession of the earth.” [N.I.V.]

    I looked at the map of Africa and thought…Niger. Niger and that area is next. And everyone I told said I was a crazy alarmist. Well. I have also been saying Iran runs drugs and the so called tri border area is the epicenter. Its all so obvious if you research. Why wont people beleive that Iran is trying to infiltrate south america so it can push up from there? And why wont people listen when I tell them Iran funds the houthis in Yemen? They just act like none of these things are connected. And then I mention obama and project Cassandra and they change the subject.

        “Iran fights ISIS and Al-Qaeda. ”

        Groups that Iran funded. BTW, ISIS and al-qaeda are fighting one another. Does that make them both “good guys?

          Iran lost hundreds of its forces in Iraq and Syria fighting US, Nato and Saudi-backed Al-Qaeda, ISIS and many other Sunni jihadist groups!
          As we speak, US is openly protecting the biggest Al-Qaeda and ISIS enclave in the world today which the Idlib province of Syria where 50000
          Al-Qaeda and ISIS fighters are concentrated. See more of this below:

          “Iran lost hundreds of its forces in Iraq and Syria fighting … Al-Qaeda, ISIS ”

          Doesn’t change the fact that Iran funded those groups despite them being sunni. Theological disagreements go out the windows when it’s time to murder infidels…

          “As we speak, US is openly protecting the biggest Al-Qaeda and ISIS enclave in the world ”

          Citation needed.

          “See more of this below:”

          As usual in your links, there’s nothing there to back your claims. What there is – and even from a pro-Assad news outlet with demonstrable links to Stormfront – is the care as not to cause another mass refugee crisis. Millions of them whim, possibly, like the others before them, would set their eyes on European shores. Just yesterday there was a news article about a German woman – well, the article read “woman” but I hesitate to call an 18-year-old a fully grown adult, whether physical or mentally – gang-raped by a group of men lead by a Syrian. My guess is that, given your history here, you’re eagerly expecting to see more of that in the future so you can go around saying “they’re getting what they deserve”.

          Didn’t you said that before, CB? That Europe deserved terrorist attacks for their military intervention in Syria? And yet, when the military option is being put off the table you’re suddenly against it. It’s almost as if you’re being paid to attack anything the US and Europe does, consistency and principles be damned…
