As the news emerges that Iran-backed Houthis have fired ballistic missiles and drones at major oil facilities and military sites in Saudi Arabia, now also comes the news that an Iran-backed Shia cell is reportedly behind a bombing near the Israeli Embassy in India.
The global threat of Iran is escalating, and a Biden-led America has demonstrated so far that it is no match for the Islamic Republic.
Let’s also not forget that as far as the Iranian regime is concerned, America and Israel are the Big Satan and Little Satan respectively, so even though it was America that killed Soleimani in a drone strike in January 2020, the Iranians are vowing revenge against Israel:
A handwritten note in English found at the blast site was addressed to Israel’s Ambassador to India Ron Malka, warning Israel of revenge for the assassinations of Iran’s Quds Force Commander Qasem Soleimani in January 2020 and Iranian nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh in November 2020.
“Iran-backed Shi’ite cell behind bombing near Israeli Embassy in India,” by Tobias Siegal, Jerusalem Post, March 8, 2021:
India’s central counterterrorism agencies have concluded that a local Shi’ite terrorist cell backed by Iran’s IRGC Quds Force was behind the attack that targeted the Israeli Embassy in New Delhi late January, Hindustan Times reported on Monday.
Evidence collected at the scene of the blast pointed to Iran’s involvement early on in the investigation.
A handwritten note in English found at the blast site was addressed to Israel’s Ambassador to India Ron Malka, warning Israel of revenge for the assassinations of Iran’s Quds Force Commander Qasem Soleimani in January 2020 and Iranian nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh in November 2020.
CCTV footage of the blast site revealed that a cab had dropped two people near the embassy shortly before the bomb went off.
According to India’s counterterrorism experts who led the investigation, the attack was part of Iran’s asymmetric warfare campaign waged against Israel, Hindustan Times reported.
“That the bomb was not of high intensity, with no human targets in mind was perhaps because the Iranians did not want to run afoul of a friendly nation like India. But the message was clear and the threat is real,” one expert involved in the investigation told Hindustan Times….

If Iran didn’t want to ‘run afoul of a friendly nation’, then it was too late for that after the bomb went off. I’m sure the Iranian ambassador has found the Indian foreign office less ‘friendly’.
mortimer says
United States will be next after they practice their bomb technique.
Infidel says
So Jaish ul Hind is a shi’a outfit, by the look of it. It did this bombing, as well as the threat to Mukesh Ambani at his home in Mumbai. So India now has a home grown jihadist outfit, w/ support from Iran
India needs to wind down its ties w/ Iran, and moves its embassy in Israel to Jerusalem. Not that it’ll happen w/ bureaucrat Jaishankar running their foreign ministry

And Iran is further emboldened by Biden’s weaknes and pandering to Iran.
