Another terror leader bites the dust.
The Biden administration insisted that Iran was not behind the Oct 7 attacks, but it was always unlikely that Hamas could have pulled off a precisely orchestrated operation that exploited technological vulnerabilities in Israel’s security.
Then earlier this week, Israel hit a building next to Iran’s diplomatic facility in Damascus where senior generals in Iran’s IRGC terrorist network were reportedly planning an assault.
One of those generals appears to have been the mastermind of Oct 7.
In a statement issued Wednesday, Coalition Council of Islamic Revolution Forces (also known by its Persian acronym SHANA) hailed Mohammad Reza Zahedi’s “strategic role in forming and strengthening the resistance front as well as in planning and executing the Al-Aqsa Storm.”
Zahedi, along with his deputy and five other IRGC forces, were killed Monday in an Israeli airstrike against Iran’s consulate building in the Syrian capital Damascus.
“Al Aqsa Storm” is the Hamas and terrorist term for the Oct 7 attacks.
SHANA praised Zahedi’s “great honors” in his “silent efforts” against Israel. “The supporters of Tel Aviv should know that the Islamic Republic of Iran’s harsh and regrettable response to this bloody crime is on its way and will affect the future equations of the region, God willing,” added the statement.
SHANA is headed by former Parliament Speaker Gholam-Ali Haddad-Adel, a figure close to Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. The coalition’s secretary is Parviz Sorouri, the former IRGC commander.
How authoritative is this? It’s been reported by an official Iranian media outlet.
Mizan News Agency is identified as an official news outlet of the Islamic Republic of Iran’s judiciary system by Reuters, BBC, Iran International and numerous other sources. Mizan has been the primary source for announcements related to judicial decisions, proceedings, and verdicts, as well as official statements in various analyses and reports about the Iranian media landscape.
The direct link between the news agency and the judiciary underscores the state-controlled nature of media outlets in Iran.
This is the closest that Iran has come to claiming responsibility for Oct 7, after multiple denials. But that’s not unusual for Islamic terrorists facing blowback. Osama bin Laden and Al Qaeda initially denied responsibility for 9/11.
The preferred tactic of Islamic terrorists is to sneak up on you and stab you in the back, and then wail piteously and cry that they’re the victims when they get punched in the face.
The Biden administration was invested in denying Iran’s responsibility because it all goes back to its foreign policy of appeasing and bailing out the regime in Tehran. Now as it’s all blowing up, it’s evading responsibility by blaming Israel.

These clowns with their bruised foreheads,ran across one in my city.They make it very easy knowing who our purest of enemies are.

Not too smart are they. His ugly face will adorn the halls of hell. I was thinking, was there ever any humanitarian act done by muslims since 600AD. Does anyone know of any such behaviour shown by the muslims. All the like to do is murder the non-muslims and other muslims they don’t like.
somehistory says
If some just dropped dead instead of making some female submit and instead of murdering someone, that would aid ‘humanity.’
Walter Sieruk says
This is clearly a case when it’s “Good riddance to bad rubbish.”.
bagsgroove says
Bad is too gentle a word to be use to describe muslims. Rotten with an empty hole where their spirit should be.

Another Muslim Ash Wednesday dude, from banging forehead on the ground to Allah.
Muslims say, “we love death more than you love life…..”. So what are they complaining about? He’s with his 72 houris in Allahland.
Bull Herman says
Bibi the magician makes another Islamist disappear!
Bet he can make Tehran glow in the dark too.
If Islamists are so great let them grow eyes in back of their heads.
tim gallagher says
Off to the deepest and hottest recesses of Hell for this satanically evil piece of shit. Unfortunately, there are still endless of these evil Muslim scum to be removed from this earth before a more peaceful life for the human race is attained. As other commenters have said, good riddance to this inhuman, evil piece of shit. Probably the weirdest thing about evil islam is that Muslims, who carry out such extremely evil actions as this scumbag actually think that there is a god, this evil thing allah, who will be there waiting to meet them and praise them and let them into paradise. The Muslim level of delusional thinking is beyond belief.
RegT says
True story, Tim. islam is a death cult based on the sexual perversions of the defective animal who called himself mohammed (I refuse to capitalize anything to do with islam). It is not a religion at all. Extermination would be preferable, but sequestering them on an island and not allowing any of them to leave it would be acceptable, since there are those who claim to be muslims who are not as debased as true, orthodox muslims but would side with those “obamanations” nonetheless. These animals are not radicals, they are orthodox members of this perverted death cult, and they truly believe that those who call themselves muslims but do not follow the perversions and desire to kill infidels are apostates, worse than infidels, and also should be killed.
Fuzzy says
RegT, Please don’t disrespect animals by associating them with moslems. Evil creatures are what moslems are.
tim gallagher says
I agree with your opinion about islam, RegT. It is, as you say, a hate-filled, barbaric death cult. Any religious ideology that has the type of murderous hatred for all non-Muslims that you find in the Koran has to be an evil cult without a doubt. islam has brought nothing but misery, slaughter and ignorance to humanity for 1400 years. And, as you say, the prophet Muhammad, who I don’t think actually existed but was made up by a bunch of evil barbarians later on to try to give their evil ways respectability by saying god spoke to him,, is a pervert and degenerate for sure. I will say this. I do meet some Muslims who do seem OK, but i always think it is almost some kind of a miracle because they actually seem OK (though I would never really trust them) in spite of being brought up as Muslims. What a far, far better world it would be without islam. Fuzzy, you are right, no animals raech the level of evil of these scum of the earth from hamas.

Ray Jarman says
If Israel could pull this act of retribution with what appears to be a perfect strike, I don’t think that the top of the Hamas apparatus will sleep very well in Qatar.
Billy the Kid says
If they killed this guy because of his role in October 7, that would really puzzle me, because, let’s face it, in the past the Mossad, or Shin Beth (I wouldn’t know which one) has shown superb work, what with the theft and repatriation (to Israel, of course) of the complete atomic programme archive, the sabotage of the Uranium centrifuges in Natanz (Stuxnet) and the liquidation of several nuclear scientists and this guy from the IRCG, but October 7 clearly showed an extremely serious information vacuum on their part, indicating that their intelligence gathering system is ‘lacking’. It would therefore really surprise me if they were able to regroup on such short notice.
Billy the Kid says
But hey, they did know where they could find these guys and most likely who they were, and what they were working at, so I wouldn’t put it beyond them, really. And even if it’s luck, I’d say: good for them. I support them all the way. What I particularly admire is the civility which they observe, generally speaking, of course, because the guys they liquidated don’t deserve that.
carpediadem says
Great piece and excellent effort getting rid of this guy by the Israelis.
I’ve not seen at all any reference to the Oct 7 attacks as Al Aqsa Storm.
Only as Al Aqsa Flood.

OLD GUY says
Another one down, and how many more to go? The islamic mosques are turning out jihadist as fast as we can dispose of them. Islam is an ideology that you have to destroy or re-educate millions of followers who believe they are the chosen ones. So far re-educating muslim/islamic followers hasn’t worked, and appeasing them with kindness only emboldens them to more violence. The time will come when it will be them or us who will survive. Keep your powder dry.
