Last Thursday was the second anniversary of the killing of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) Quds Force commander Qassem Soleimani; while the date passed virtually unnoticed in the United States, it was a major event in the Islamic Republic of Iran, featuring numerous threats of revenge from enraged Iranian leaders. One of these stood out from the others: Soleimani’s successor as Quds Force commander declared that the revenge would come from inside the United States.
Iran’s state-controlled Tasnim News Agency reported that Brigadier General Esmaeil Qaani was “delivering a speech to a ceremony in Mashhad” for the anniversary of the “martyrdom” of Soleimani. Qaani was in no mood to be conciliatory. He thundered: “We will prepare ground for the hard revenge against the US from within their homes, as we do not need to be present as supervisors everywhere, wherever is necessary we take revenge against Americans by the help of people on their side and within their own homes without our presence.”
“From within their homes.” It’s not an implausible threat, thanks to Old Joe Biden’s essentially nonexistent Southern border. U.S. Customs and Border Protection reported on Feb. 3, 2021, that Border Patrol agents near Yuma, Ariz. “arrested a group of 11 Iranian citizens who illegally crossed the border into the United States.” Nor was this a singular incident:
“For the last two fiscal years, Yuma Sector Border Patrol agents have led the nation in apprehending illegal crossers from Iran. Yuma Sector agents apprehended eight Iranian nationals in FY2020, compared to just 14 from all other border patrol sectors combined. So far in FY2021, Yuma Sector agents have apprehend [sic] 14 nationals from Iran.”
It’s unlikely, unfortunately, that Border Patrol agents apprehended every last one of the Iranians who tried to enter the United States illegally across the border from Mexico. It’s entirely possible that agents of the Islamic Republic are in the country now, ready to execute this “revenge.” Qaani offered a chance to avoid the specter of the revenge playing out on American soil: he “went on to say that it would be much wiser for the US to deal with the criminals who assassinated General Soleimani on their own, as it would be much costlier for them if ‘the children of the Resistance Front’ are to take the matter in their own hands and take revenge from the Americans by themselves.”
The “children of the Resistance Front.” Who might they be? They don’t have to be Iranians who crossed the border. Far-Left Antifa rioters have already taken up the notorious Iranian slogan, “Death to America.” Journalist Andy Ngo reported in late August 2020 that “around 700 black bloc militants and their supporters rampaged through Oakland, Cal. They chanted ‘death to America’ while starting fires and smashing cars and buildings.” The week before that, according to Townhall’s Julio Rosas, “An American flag was just burned outside the Kenosha County Courthouse. One woman screams, ‘Death to America!’ and kicks the fence.” An Antifa rioter who is already screaming “Death to America” would be a perfect candidate for carrying out Iran’s “hard revenge” inside the United States.
The Islamic Republic has found the perfect moment, should it wish to carry out terrorist attacks in America. The Left’s relentless indoctrination of American youth has begun bearing fruit, such that there is a large number of people in the country now who hate their culture and heritage and believe that the United States of America is the primary force for evil in the world today. That coincides neatly with the foreign policy perspective of the Islamic Republic of Iran. What would have been an empty threat just a few years ago is now all too plausible, because there are so many people in the United States now who think that whatever the country gets, it deserves.
If the threat is made good and there is a jihad carnage inside the United States, instigated by someone acting at the behest of the Islamic Republic of Iran, it is also true that many people inside the United States now will be pleased and will applaud openly. The Left’s campaign to shame Americans into being sorry they’re Americans will increasingly manifest itself in an unwillingness to defend this country or stand up against its enemies. Esmaeil Qaani and his friends and allies will find a great deal of comfort in what the Left has wrought.
1,000 Iranian Christian or Jewish conservatives?
Don’t wish the death of leftists. If they die, they get transformed into martyrs who were somehow killed by deplorables, either because killing Solami was bad, or because “violence never solves anything” unless they’re perpetrating it, or some similar idiocy. Have faith that they will either self destruct or get red pilled, if they live long enough. Mean time, just get them out of power in all institutions.
Establish a preserve, like San Francisco or something, and cordon it off, with windows in the wall for tourists to watch them in their unnatural habitat.
But here we are.
skeeerd the sh1t outa Brandon enough to put up concrete barriers without notice...
THANK YOU, President Trump!! GOOD JOB!!
If they do take out a former Trump official on US soil, Iran’s entire current leadership had better never go above ground after Jan, 2025.
Hey Iran, could you nuke DC in the middle of the State of the Union address please?
Gee. With our tough immigration policies no terrorist nation would dare send anyone to attack us.
Agreed, after they walked thru the border, collected their $45,000 from NYS, they'd probably get mugged on a New York sidewalk and left for dead, or pushed in front of a subway train. Way too risky.
Hi. I just don’t know.
Iranian airspace is very very porous... except for commercial aircraft.
So, a drone of non discrpt origin flies into Tehran during a session of their “royal jurga” and drops a Jdam on the participants.
Whomever did it, the Persians will be hoping mad, and no more ayatollahs. A win win scenario.

Does this threat have any connection with the recent Taliban treat of action in the US? Iran nd Afghanistan do share borders.
“We will prepare ground for the hard revenge against the US from within their homes, as we do not need to be present as supervisors everywhere, wherever is necessary we take revenge against Americans by the help of people on their side and within their own homes without our presence.”

Sounds like they are going after vulnerable infrastructure like power, water and cell
And when that happens ,Iran will become a sheet of glass!

Not under 0bama and certainly not under Brandon - they believe we can ‘take a few nuclear hits’ and go on - so a few hundred, thousand, or million citizens dead in a revenge attack is noting worth responding to beyond a sternly worded letter and admonishment not to do that again.
Remember, the people in power are on the criminals’ sides, not ours. Striking Iran would be racist, xenophobic and anti-muslin.
Iran will be dealt with all right — in a manner far more severe than we can imagine.
Read Ezekiel 38 and 39.

I’m looking to the future when we will have smart ass bombs. The bomb will text;
Bomb: “Hey goat humper. Knock, knock.”
Goat humper: “Who’s there?”
Bomb: “Ka.”
Goat humper: “Ka who?”
Bomb: “KABOOM!”
OK, towel head. Sounds like you are prompting the American public to elect a Republican president and congress that will make the payback suitably painful. Thanks!
...and Russia gets the Ukraine back.
