Couple sent by Iran as sleeper agents to murder Jews in Sweden
Israel National News ^ | 2/6/24 | INN Staff

Posted on 02/06/2024 6:06:22 AM PST by Uncle Miltie

Couple sent to Sweden by IRGC lived in country for 5 years under fake names before being activated in plot to murder 3 Jewish citizens of Sweden, including community leader and dual US citizen.

A couple was sent by the Iranian government to Sweden as undercover agents with the goal of murdering Jewish citizens, Radio Sweden reported.

According to the investigation, the man and woman, who have been identified as Mahdi Ramezani and Fereshteh Sanaeifarid, were dispatched by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). They were tasked with murdering three Jews in Sweden, including Aron Verständig, Chair of the Official Council of Swedish Jewish communities. Another target for murder was a dual Swedish-American citizen.

The couple were arrested in 2021 after the assassination plot was uncovered. They had been living in Sweden for five years under fake identities as a sleeper cell before being activated to carry out the murders.

Verständig told Radio Sweden that he was reluctant to speak out on the Iranian plot to assassinate him, but decided to do so because he has "a very strong conviction that one cannot hide. I was born a Jew I will remain a Jew for the rest of my life and I can choose to sort of hide under a rock or I can choose to be the person who I am and that's what I've chosen.”

Sounds like a good plot line for a new TV series. It could be called "The Swedes."

Biden would let them into the U.S. without question.

Biden’s also a sleeper agent.

After a very public trial the couple should be publicly shot.

..........you MAY be making a joke but I THINK you are 75% right. Meaning “sleeper” is not EXACTLY RIGHT but close because he really is an American Citizen, born in the USA, who has betrayed his country to a foreign power (namely China).

He makes Benedict Arnold look like a choir boy.

“After a very public trial the couple should be publicly shot.”

I’m a fan of a public hanging myself.

It being Sweden, maybe they’ll be sentenced to a really ugly masseuse.

Well, there you go. That’s a huge problem in the West. People with the power to change things are reluctant to speak out. Better to say nothing, and hope the water flooding the ship somehow stops on its own.

We had dozen of sleeper cells in the US before 9/11 and not a thing was done about them after. Ok, they did do something. They let more and more and more and more and more in.

Some day we will find out. But as I noted earlier, we’re all supposed to ignore the issue. And if a prominent person talks about it, that person would be cancelled.

In a way, we are living in something like early 1930s Europe. The Nazis were on the rise back then. They said terrible things. They did terrible things. And they were ignored. We all know how that ended.

Today it’s Islam, not Nazism. But at least back in the 1930s prominent people could warn folks about the Nazis (Churchill was one). No one is allowed to issue warnings about Islam today. Instead we must believe that…

“Islam is peace.”

No, there wasn't.

What crime was the couple arrested for...and on what evidence?

It was really good, wasn’t it? I’ve often wondered how much is true or loosely based on true stories and spying.

I would have loved to tweak the graphic to read “The Swedes,” but I couldn’t find an easy way to do that.

When Benedict Arnold tried to sell out the West Point fort, the country only existed as a nascent could-be. He was best buds with George Washington, and a hero of several battles, who received a disabling wound in his last one, resented being switched to a REMF do-nothing, and then switched sides.

Biden is just a professional whore of a politician, who never did anything in his life since befriending Corn Pop, other than whoring himself for fun and profit. He isn’t fit to shine Benedict Arnold’s shoes.

There are four more additional paragraphs at the source, which by FR rules, must be excerpted.

From the article: "The couple were arrested in 2021 after the assassination plot was uncovered."

Why is this news?

Meh...four meaningless paragraphs containing no additional information.

For all we know this couple has been charged with illegal immigration, and ‘someone’ decided to make up a story about sleeper cells.
