Seif al-Adel, the apparent new leader of al Qaeda is in Iran, a United Nations report has said and the United States confirmed the information on Wednesday.
State Department spokesperson Ned Price was asked during his daily press briefing to comment on the UN report. He said: “Our assessment aligns with that of the UN…offering safe haven to al Qaeda is another example of Iran’s wide-ranging support for terrorism, its destabilizing activities in the Middle East and beyond.”
Asked by a reporter what the United States is ready to do if Adel is in Iran, Price said that the Biden administration is determined not to allow threats to emerge. “We have taken action against Iran for its support for terrorist group throughout the region,” he said and added that Washington will closely coordinate with European allies to confront “all the challenges Iran poses.”
Seif al-Adel, a former Egyptian special forces officer who is a high-ranking member of al Qaeda with a $10 million US bounty on his head, is now the "uncontested" leader of the militant group, according to a new U.N. report on the organization.

“Why would any freeper support monstrous Iran???”

Good question
I guess if you are anti-neocon you are now pro-Iran to some on FR? Give me a break. False. A person can think Iran’s leadership is brutal, as they are, while saying Americans are tired of unending interventionism.
Look at the following Back-and-forth on Twitter concerning the war in Ukraine:
“Corrupt Republicans side with Putin over USA’s interest & the interests of the American people!”
Reply:
“Fellow Americans, you are a Putin-lover if you don’t sacrifice your entire country and the future security of your children for Ukraine.”
Counter-reply:
“Fellow Americans: you are a “Putin lover” when are in agreement with Putin on US-Ukraine policy. We see genuine GOP-Russia collusion now. Own it all.”
Counter, counter reply:
“right...and the anti-war people against the Iraq war were pro Sadaam, which is what the GOP threatened too! It’s the playbook of EVERY WAR...”if you are against the war, you MUST be pro-boogyman”
Now substitute the word Iran/Syria into this along with some other changes and you’ll see how the game is played:
“Corrupt Republicans/Freepers side with Iran/Syria over USA’s interest & the interests of the American people!”
Reply: “Fellow Americans, you are a Iran/Assad-lover if you don’t sacrifice your entire country and the future security of your children for [insert whatever].”
Continue on from there.
You see how the game is played?
Neocon Emotional Appeals need to be banned on FR.
Are you his partner?
Or just overly sensitive?
Never mind. I read your About page.
Iran was always involved with al Qaeda.
Iran harbored AQ leaders and family in the aftermath of 911.
Iran has been the problem since 1979.
Iran’s IRGC general Soleimani was behind the Saudi Hezbollah attack on Khobar Towers that killed Americans and Saudi citizens.
Iran’s IRGC provided the explosives knowhow for the failed attack on the USS The Sullivans in Yemen ...the attack only failed because the dinghy sank. The terrorists learned from that and successfully put the USS Cole out of commission. The planning for these attacks on USN vessels took place in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, where some of the participants lodged at the apartment of an Iranian diplomat- a story that was speedily buried.
Zarqawi, later head of ISIS, for years ran a smuggling route from Pakistan through Iran to Iraq.
AlQaeda’s Zawahiri, the Egyptian, was related by marriage to at least one Iranian mullah.
The planner of 911 was a Baluch ...Baluchi tend to ally with Iran.
A lot of what people think they know about Syria is Russian disinfo.
Wesley for all his bluster is a fan of Russia like his good pal Hillary Clinton. They talk tough but that is for looks to get ahead in politics... like Hillary claiming Trump was a Russian asset while her husband Bill was being paid to give speeches in Moscow.
Biden is in Iran?
Oh please, Wesley Clark made this statement years ago and we heard it years ago. It was obviously true based on history that we know now.
Did you know our STATE department is run by leftists and so is our entire government? The whole regime is full of liars and they work along with the UN. That tells me to reject believing anything they say because an ulterior motive is likely behind their comments.
Greenwald is a classic liberal but he is not a liar.
LOL
Sounds like the State Department is whipping up a new boogieman to give us an excuse to attack and be in fear. Probably CIA created. People have never heard of this guy, but they had to make him in Iran and convince us Mecca and Medina are old hat. LOL
Maybe they are getting ready and setting the stage for a new shock attack like 9/11.
They can rope in all our freedom and usher in the reset.
Kind of irrelevant since an Al Qaeda leader is just one of the cockroaches in an infestation. We had the infestation under control but not under this demented administration.
Supported by our enemies, the Ayatollahs.
Iran has done this for years.
Decades.
We probably do.
Al Qaeda and affiliates are now fighting with Ukraine…for democracy of course.
Obama is in Iran?
Are the sunnis and shias working together?
err, was in Iran
Thanks Putin lover n all purpose Putin butt smoocher. But God likes you anywhere and anyways. I think. But I could be wrong..
Every day and in every way. This is a war against you.
All proceeding in perfect step with Preezy Obama’s plan.
Attaboy, Joe Lickspittle!
