"The U.S. government provided Iran with a private warning that there was a terrorist threat within Iranian borders".
Iran controls and finances multiple Islamic terror groups, but being a Shiite state, there are Sunni Islamist terror groups that target it. Some of these are aligned with ISIS. Others have nationalistic reasons linked to the Baloch movement. And some have both.
Recently, an ISIS bombing attack at a commemoration ceremony for IRGC terror leader Soleimani, who was responsible for the deaths of many Americans, made headlines.
The Biden administration is now announcing that it tried to help Iran head off the bombing.
The U.S. secretly warned Iran that Islamic State was preparing to carry out the terrorist attack early this month that killed more than 80 Iranians in a pair of coordinated suicide bombings, U.S. officials said.
The confidential alert came after the U.S. acquired intelligence that Islamic State’s affiliate in Afghanistan, ISIS-Khorasan, known as ISIS-K, was plotting to attack Iran, they said.
American officials said the information passed to Iran was specific enough about the location and sufficiently timely that it might have proved useful to Tehran in thwarting the attack on Jan. 3 or at least mitigating the casualty toll.
And, out of gratitude, Iran went on trying to kill American soldiers and chanting, “Death to America”..
The obvious question is why do this?
Do we generally intervene when terrorist groups fight each other? Why are we helping Iran, which is actively trying to kill American soldiers in Iraq?
During the Trump admin, we kept hearing that even mentioning that we had certain kinds of intel would potentially expose sources and endanger them. So why are those sources being exposed to help one of our worst enemies.
“Prior to ISIS’s terrorist attack on January 3, 2024, in Kerman, Iran, the U.S. government provided Iran with a private warning that there was a terrorist threat within Iranian borders,” a U.S. official said, using an acronym for Islamic State. “The U.S. government followed a longstanding ‘duty to warn’ policy that has been implemented across administrations to warn governments against potential lethal threats. We provide these warnings in part because we do not want to see innocent lives lost in terror attacks.”
The target was a memorial ceremony for Qassem Soleimani: a terrorist leader. There were as many “innocent people” there as at a memorial for Osama bin Laden, Adolf Hitler or Joseph Stalin.
Maybe the Biden admin didn’t know the target? But the previous high-profile ISIS attacks in Iran targeted the Iranian parliament and the told of Khomeini.
ISIS tends to hit sites associated with Iran’s Islamist regime. Attack warnings protect the Iranian regime, not the oppressed people protesting in the streets.
This is another unfortunate example of our government’s collaboration with our worst enemies.
There is no reason for us to intervene in a fight between two Islamic terror groups. Yet the Biden admin chose to do that in Syria and now Obama is doing it in Iran.

Exactly.
What would you expect from Trader ... I mean Traitor Joe’s administration?
The person getting their name applied to all this upheaval.. He was capable.. But is he now?
Who was the person said he came to fundamentally change this nation. Are we being changed from adding millions invaders.. To using the government to control the citizens..
Nice set up... Doing the destruction behind the curtain.. Escaping being set on.
The corruption that is rampant in Washington will be revealed.. We don’t know the half of it yet.
It’s a good thing we took out Saddam, creating a power vacuum for Iran to fill.
Afghanistan and Iraq were great successes.
Now retards here want way with Yemen and Iran.
Way=war
intel, billions of dollars, what’s next? Complete surrender? Turning of the US Navy to Iran?
There is no reason for us to intervene in a fight between two Islamic terror groups. Yet the Obama admin chose to do that in Syria and now Biden is doing it in Iran.
