Raisi is wasting no time in getting to work to aid and abet the global jihad, while Biden’s handlers are doing all they can to ensure that Raisi will have billions to finance his jihad activities.
“Iran’s new president hosts terror leaders as he comes into office,” by Seth J. Frantzman, Jerusalem Post, August 8, 2021:
Iran’s new president Ebrahim Raisi hosted a series of prominent terror leaders and pro-Iran proxy group leaders during his inauguration, showcasing how he will want to leverage Iran’s proxies in Iranian foreign policy. The previous Iranian presidents have given him a formidable framework to work with across the region, and it looks like Raisi will want to increase the power of these groups. This comes as Iran’s media is boasting about new warming ties with Iran and also thinks it can get around US sanctions.
Iran brazenly attacked a ship off Oman on July 30 and Iranian-backed Hezbollah has fired rockets at Israel on August 6.
The meeting between key Iranian figures and Iran’s network of terror and proxy groups looks like a kind of meeting of the “five families” in the Godfather, as key figures came together. It’s not the first time this has happened, Iran in the past has hosted Palestinian factions, members of the Hashd al-Shaabi from Iraq, Hezbollah, Houthis and others.
The messaging here is aimed at the region and at the US, Israel and their partners and allies. Reports on Saturday evening indicated that IRGC head Hossein Salami had also met the Hezbollah deputy and said that they should prepare for the “collapse” of Israel. While this is the usual IRGC rhetoric, the recent incidents in Lebanon and off the coast of Oman and in Gaza show Iran is driving threats in the region. Salami said that in the next war any misstep by Israel could lead to Israel’s collapse.
There appears to be real signaling and messaging in the recent meetings. Video posted online appeared to show that Hamas and Hezbollah got pride of place in seating, with the European Union representative seated behind them. Experts have noted that the presence of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh showcases how Iran is putting out a message about its commitment to Hamas. Iran was likely behind a recent wave of attacks on Israel in May. The IRGC in Iran, which is close to Raisi and the Ayatollah leadership, is increasingly running Iran and its foreign policy.
In addition to Haniyeh from Hamas, Hezbollah official Naim Qassem was in attendance. The Hamas leader’s presence was noted across the region. Raisi praised Hamas for its “victory” in the recent conflict in May. The presence of the Hamas leader and other terror group delegates was not lost online to commentators who noted their presence and the red carpet they received. Hamas has also been given a red carpet by Turkey’s ruling party in 2020, and appears to have more clout in the region than they once did….

“…hosted a series of prominent terrorist leaders…”
So fitting since Islam in its theological blueprint (N.B., theological blueprints matter a great deal and matter far more than many adherents of a particular theological blueprint ignorantly, hypocritically, lazily, or wrongly implementing such a blueprint) is the only major religion that approves of, actually endorses, terror. Started with Islam’s reputed founder; continues to this day.
A stark choice: Islam or freedom. Take your pick because you can’t have both. You can with all other major religions, and many minor religions, but you can’t with Islam and one knows this or should know it. So very tired by so many lying about this or remaining willfully ignorant about this.
In brief, Islam sucks. No other major religion does. Only Islam, among the major religions of the world, is an enemy of liberty,, and I am utterly sick of so many who don’t get this by now. After all, enablers of evil are actually worse than evil itself. Any dhimmis continuing to make excuses for Islam are either ignoramuses or liars—no third option.

This above jihadwatch article informs its reader that “Iran’s new president Ebrahim Raisi hosted a series of prominent terror leaders and pro-Iran proxy group leaders during his inauguration…”
That dangerous ,sinister and malice-filled scheming villain Raisi with his insidious demonic stratagem of forming a stronger alliance with many jihad/terror/murder organizations, all with malicious and deadly intentions of launching future Muslim jihadist terrorist attacks against America, Israel and the many other nations of the West is a strong reminder that we should always remain aware about our surrounding yet not live in fear of be to go to different places and do many different things .
In addition ,none of us should be overly disturbed by that villain with his scheme to form and have some kind of Islamic confederacy against the United States and her friend the State of Israel and the other Western countries .
This is because all of the backhanded Islamic terror scheme of Raisi along with prominent jihadist leaders he is plotting with will all not only fail to achieve their goals but will also all the violent jihadist intentions with their Muslim terror alliance back down on them hard. Very hard.
For it is has been written in the Bible “Though they join forces ,the wicked will not go unpunished.” Proverbs 11:21. [N.K.J.V.]

Raisi is so completely evil that he was behind the mass murders of many people who had only been “guilty” of crimes as being a Christian and speaking up in defense of giving women human right in Iran.
That despicable and wicked murderous man has rightly been nicknamed “The hangman of Tehran”
Therefore it’s no wonder that Raisi would like ,approve of and support and join “hand in hand ” with the murderous terrorist leaders of his same evil and deadly mindset as those leaders of Hezbollah and Hamas.
This is a reflection of the Bible verse of Amos 3:3. Which reads . “Can two walk together , unless they are agreed.” [N.K.J.V\
