Iran’s Assassins Are on the Loose

Regime plots against top U.S. officials and air bases proliferate.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s move from his home to a U.S. military base, reportedly following Iranian threats on his life, is part of a much larger story. Iran’s regime has been hunting top U.S. officials. It was true before the current war and nobody should expect that a deal to end the war will make it go away.

On Tuesday the FBI added Shahram Poursafi, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) operative accused of plotting to murder John Bolton, to its most-wanted list. Reward: $20 million. Mr. Poursafi was first charged in absentia in 2022, accused of offering an informant $300,000 to assassinate the former U.S. national security adviser. The implication of Tuesday’s FBI update is that there’s a new urgency to capture Mr. Poursafi or new information in his case.

The same day the Justice Department indicted Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood al-Saadi, alleging he helped direct the September plot against U.S. B-1 bombers at the U.K.’s Fairford air base—from inside a Brooklyn prison. Mr. al-Saadi was previously charged with coordinating nearly 20 terrorist attacks and attempts against synagogues and other U.S. and European targets on behalf of Iran’s Kata’ib Hezbollah proxy.

The Iranian-Iraqi terror commander is now accused of passing coded messages from jail, using family, to coordinate with two IRGC operatives who were orchestrating the Fairford plot and several others from Iran. This should again flag the manifest unwisdom of seeking prison time for Mr. Bolton for mishandling classified documents. How would the prison system protect him from the Iranians?

These threats are serious and Mr. Bolton isn’t...

We need to let these baboons know that if any US official even gets a scratch that Tehran and Qom will be smoking holes in the ground…and we don’t need nukes to do it.

It's when they take over the police departments that the real fun begins.

I don't know who "they" refers to, but you unambiguously stated that you want to kill the residents of cities where most of the population is not IRGC.

The IRGC are in dozens of subterranean (1500-2000 feet deep) IRCG "missile cities" scattered throughout 200,000 square miles of mountain terrain.

A bunch of war-groupies pounding their chests will not defeat them.

I knew if I used that it would be bait for a clever FReeper. Did it anyway. Good one.

They, the IRGC and their psychomullahs, have killed OUR citizens and THEIR OWN citizens.
Anyone can be beaten by the US.

Trump is still President for 2 years hopefully. So maybe he can twart Iranian assassins for now.

In 2028 if a leftist President and Congress were running things then the borders would be wide open again and Iranians would be hunting down the whole administration without much resistance form the left.

With that in mind Trump needs to deal with Iran conclusively while he can.
