Obama's Iran deal has just granted an amnesty to the world's leading terrorist mastermind

As head of the Quds Force in Iran's Revolutionary Guards, Qassem Suleimani is widely regarded as one of the world's leading terrorists. Now Barack Obama has effectively granted him an amnesty.

Qassem Suleimani, the head of the elite Quds Force in Iran’s Revolutionary Guards, fully deserves his reputation as one of the world’s leading terrorist masterminds.

For a decade a more he has been the driving force behind an array of Iranian-sponsored terrorist groups, from Hizbollah to Hamas, which have orchestrated a reign of terror throughout the Middle East.

From a purely British perspective, he was responsible for training and equipping the Shia militias in southern Iraq who killed scores of British troops during the dark days of Iraq’s sectarian conflict following the overthrow of Saddam Hussein, and was reported to have trained the Taliban in the art of making deadly roadside bombs that killed and mutilated our Service personnel serving in southern Afghanistan.

So you can imagine my amazement when, leafing through the more obscure annexes of President Barack Obama’s “historic” deal with Iran (page 86 of the annex, to be precise), I found that Mr Suliemani – as the White House no doubt now refers to him – has been granted an amnesty and taken off the list of proscribed Iranians – together with a number of senior members of the Revolutionary Guards.

Thanks to Mr Obama’s scandalous capitulation to Tehran, Mr Suleimani has overnight gone from being one of the world’s most wanted terrorists to the White House’s newest best friend.

If I were Suleimani, I’d be organising an enormous party right now to celebrate a deal that is truly a “historic victory” for Tehran.

Obama probably considers Suleiman a hero of the revolution.

Actually, so long as we think someone like “Suleimani” was born yesterday or maybe 10 yrs ago, we only show the west and the rest are already doomed.

People like Suleimani didn’t become terrorists yesterday or 10 yrs ago. They were terrorists long ago who took over a nation. The West has had the opportunity for some 40 yrs to dismantle the terrorists, but to no avail. To think or label these ‘terrorists’ as terrorists now a lot rich. And, maybe they’re part and parcel of a global network of terrorists.

The Israelis will bring his life to an end eventually. They are the leaders of the free world. The DC Cartel is the leader of the crony world, obviously.
