Biden is an increasing liability to American interests, from his outrageous immigration policy to his appeasement of America’s worst enemies. His surrender of negotiating powers to Russia for a new Iran nuclear deal — in which the big beneficiaries would have been the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and Hizballah — was a big threat to America, as well as to Israel and Western interests. Another threat is to officials, diplomats, journalists and Iranian dissidents. In a recent case, Israel’s national intelligence agency, known as Mossad, foiled an IRGC plot to murder a worker at the Israeli Consulate in Istanbul, a US general stationed in Germany, and a journalist in France.
Iran planned to pay the assassins $150,000, which is a drop in the bucket for Iran. More money is likely coming. Under the new Iranian nuclear deal, $100,000,000,000 to $150,000,000,000 in assets would have flowed into Iran’s coffers. That deal is stalemated, but Biden’s team will likely find other ways to help Iran fund its jihad in the region and in foreign countries via its proxies and assassins.
“Mossad operates in Iran, foils IRGC plot to kill Israeli diplomat, US general,” Jerusalem Post, April 30, 2022:
“The Mossad – operating in Iran – apprehended and interrogated an Iranian national who was leading a plot to kill an Israeli diplomat and a US general, sources have confirmed.
An audio recording released on Saturday showed a photo of Mansour Rasouli admitting he had been ordered to establish a cell to assassinate a worker at the Israeli Consulate in Istanbul, a US general stationed in Germany and a journalist in France.
Rasouli was arrested and questioned in Iran, a rarity as the Mossad regularly operates in conjunction with foreign intelligence services to thwart attacks but almost always from outside the Islamic Republic.
Officials said the planned attack shows the threat the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps poses is not isolated to Israel and needs to be confronted accordingly.
News of the thwarted plot was first reported by London-based Iran International on Saturday.
The Quds Force, the IRGC branch responsible for overseas operations, planned to carry out the assassinations via drug cartels, with the Islamic Republic reportedly willing to pay over $1 million for the targets.
The planned hits were organized by a member of Quds Force’s Unit 840 stationed in Europe, who was paid $150,000 to “prepare for the assassinations” by using his connections to various European drug lords.
Unit 840 is a relatively secretive operational unit that organizes terrorist infrastructure outside Iran against Western targets and opposition groups, according to the IDF.
Defense officials said the failed assassinations join a long list of similar plots, including recent ones in Kenya and Colombia.
Turkish, British and American reports over the last few years have accused Iran of using major international crime organizations to help advance its goals abroad, which include carrying out terrorist plots. According to reports, Iranian intelligence has employed the Zindashti cartel, headed by heroin kingpin Naji Sharifi Zindashti, to assassinate or abduct Iranian dissidents living in Turkey since 2015…..”

Yep, it’s that “phobia” and “hatred of mozlums” at work again….planning terror acts all over the world…the very thing that brings on the “phobia” some people may exhibit and the “hatred” that some may harbor in their hearts.
Thankfully, the Israeli’s were on the ball and found the head perp before he could get it done. Time will tell if they get a “gft” or condemnation from ‘bo’ biden, psaki, and others.
