Iranian IRGC Commander Confirms: ‘We Are Looking to Kill Trump’
Breitbart ^ | 27 Feb 2023 | JOHN HAYWARD

Amirali Hajizadeh, commander of aerospace forces for Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), boasted on Friday that his forces have developed a new cruise missile with a range of over 1,000 miles.

Hajizadeh suggested the missile would be useful in the IRGC’s ongoing quest to kill former U.S. President Donald Trump and his Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, for ordering the liquidation of Iranian terrorist mastermind Gen. Qassem Soleimani in 2020.

“Our cruise missile with a range of 1,650 km has been added to the missile arsenal of the Islamic Republic of Iran,” Hajizadeh said in a broadcast on Iranian state television that showed off the new Paveh missile.

“Within the next one or two years, we will have big leaps and the waves [of new weapons] will turn into tsunamis,” he promised.

Iran has a history of making grandiose claims about its military capability that cannot be verified independently. In November 2022, the Pentagon said it was “skeptical” of Hajizadeh’s boasts that the IRGC has developed a hypersonic missile.

The Iranian television program purportedly showed a Paveh missile launching, flying low over terrain, and accurately striking a target.

The IRGC has previously claimed to possess cruise missiles with a range of about 620 miles. The Paveh’s claimed range would make it capable of hitting targets in Israel, but Hajizadeh had other targets in mind.

“Allah willing, we are looking to kill Trump, Pompeo, or McKenzie, and those military commanders who gave the order” to kill IRGC Quds Force commander Soleimani, said Hajizadeh. Gen. Kenneth F. McKenzie

They should remember that Trump’s best friend is back as Prime Minister of Israel.

In November 2022, the Pentagon said it was “skeptical” of Hajizadeh’s boasts that the IRGC has developed a hypercolonic missile.

Iran is a pain in the ass.

The Biden Administration might not respond but if Iran killed Trump with a cruise missile it should mean immediate war and annihilation of Iran

Thing is, Iran will get plenty of help from our government in that endeavor.

Difficult to say, but suspect it is doubtful due the Islamic/ME culture and custom of inter-marriage among relatives. Such practices are responsible for low IQ and congenital birth defects. Just look at King Charles. That dude is missing a chromosome or two.

I think it is reasonable to consider and weigh a preemptive strike on the basis of this threat.

“..DOES ANYONE IN IRAN HAVE AN IQ OVER 70???...”

The same could be asked of the vile Biden regime.
They’re like peas in a pod with their Iranian friends.
They’d assist Iran in the killing IF they thought they could get away with it.

Back in the old days, a US president would stand up to a threat like this.

U.S. Strikes Iraq for Plot to Kill Bush

Any idea on what Biden will do about this?

Good. Gloves come off.

Wait for a conference of rat crazy Islamist zealots in Iran, and bomb the crappola out of it. Tell citizens: “Here is you chance, go for it or continue to die.”

Biden is probably trying to find out if he can extradite Trump to Iran to stand trial.

The GOP-E would help too.
