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.

That well burnished zebiba in the middle of his forehead has gone the way of all flesh with the rest of his body. He died as his Allah wanted. It should be clear to Iran that Israel will go further, perhaps even nuclear if Iran does not stop facilitating proxy attacks on the sovereign territory of Israel.
When will the West realise that the democracy of Israel’s fight against the encroaches of Islam is also a front-line barrier protecting Western democratic freedoms?

Next stop … Tehran, Iran, and the depraved psychopathic murderous berserk Ayatollahs.
Hang them Ayatollahs high.

Yes. … Only a fool would think Iran was not behind the attack.

G-d protect the IDF and grant them swift victory …

What’s that mark in the middle of Zahedi’s forehead? It looks like he took too many ballsack slaps while he was doing upside down BJs.
But he’s dead and blowing demons in Hell now so Ha, ha.
I think Israel is done playing games with the koranimals.
World@70 says
Maybe that’s the mark of Satan.
Most devout Muslims have it. I think it comes from pounding their forehead on the floor during prayers over the years. I also think it’s a source of pride, as if to say, look, this shows what a great Muslim I am.

Hamas delenda est!
Chaya says
Im glad they got this guy, . But isn’t Biden-Obama the mastermind of October 7 th?

Israel. must do what they need to do to secure their nation…. Period! No other nation can advise you because they aren’t trustworthy. The Palestinian authority wants to use their state to eliminate the state of Israel. How can anyone negotiate with people who maintain the right to obliterate you and harbor the dream of one day destroying you?

Thank you, Daniel, for pointing out the connections between these individuals, nations, and the true story behind the news that the MSM won’t.
CowboyUp says
Good, hope they put a bullet right into that little callus.
Domenic Pepe says
Mohammad Reza Zahedi ain’t gonna be prostrating himself,
and repeatedly banging his forehead into the ground,
and elevating his filthy stinkin’ arsehole up in the air to Allah
anymore.
Thank you Israel and its leaders.
