Iran: Statue of Qassem Soleimani Set On Fire
The tottering regime in Tehran that presides over an impoverished nation has been putting up statues to Qassem Soleimani, trying to deflect attention from domestic woes to hero-worship of the most celebrated Iranian military figure, once the head of the Revolutionary Guards’ (IRGC) Al-Quds Force.

Iranian hackers hack two Israeli news outlets, leave warning: ‘We are close to you where you do not think about it’
The Islamic Republic regularly issues threats against Israel, and has been doing so for years. The Iranian regime, however, has not so far been able to match Israel’s feats in hacking into its nuclear sites and more. Whether they will be able to do so in the future, what with all the help and support […]
Iran’s foreign affairs minister complains he was forced to ‘sacrifice diplomacy’ in favor of IRGC operations
In a leaked interview, sure to be embarrassing for Iran, its foreign minister Mohammad Javad Zarif bashed the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, and indirectly, the late Qassem Soleimani, who was a hero by Iran.

Khamenei posts photo of Trump playing golf in drone’s shadow, vows ‘Revenge is Definite’
Twitter banned the Khamenei account that posted this, although his main account still remains. If the Iranians manage to follow through on this threat, Leftists all over the United States will cheer.

Palestinian Islamic Jihad top dog says Soleimani gave ‘direct orders,’ Iran supplied rockets to hit Israel
The only reason that the Islamic Republic of Iran would be interested in actively intervening in a conflict faraway from its borders from a state that poses no threat to it is because the mullahs see the destruction of Israel as their Islamic responsibility.

Detroit: Muslim cleric says Allah ‘humiliated’ the ‘dictator’ Trump for assassinating Soleimani and Muhandis
The salient question here is not about Trump, who will be out of office in two days, but about Qazwini’s loyalties, and the loyalties he is inculcating in his followers. Original video: “Detroit Shi’ite Imam Qazwini: Trump’s Humiliation Is Divine Retribution For Assassinating Qasem Soleimani And Abu Mahdi Al-Muhandis,” MEMRI, January 8, 2021: Hassan […]

Even if this is an empty boast, there is no doubt that this goal is in the long-range plans of Iran and its subsidiary Hizballah, and will very much be on the table as Biden begins empowering the Iranian mullahs again. “Sayyed Nasrallah & General Suleimani Prepared All Plans to Wipe Out ‘Israel’ before January […]
Islamic State declares Hamas ‘apostate’ for calling Soleimani a ‘martyr’
The Islamic State (ISIS) is Sunni; Soleimani was Shi’ite. Hamas is Sunni as well, but receives funding from Iran.
