🇮🇷#Iran - #Terrorism - Criminal Outsourcing - An unprecedented operation involving 15 international #intelligence agencies has exposed an #Iranian terror infrastructure that was planning a series of assassinations against #Israeli and #Western targets around the world. 1/22
It started in June, when #Colombia's Dirección Nacional de Inteligencia (#DNI) issued an imminent security alert after determining two Israeli businessmen were the targets of an #assassination attempt planned and financed by a high-ranking Iranian #Quds Force officer. 2
That officer, Rahmat Asadi, is regarded by Western intelligence organizations as a dangerous #terrorist.
The businessmen and their families had to quickly leave Bogotá under rigorous security measures. 3

Does this newspaper have an editor?
ِReducing the significance of the government's role in destroying water resources by mentioning drought/climate change first is absurd. This regime created this man-made drought. No talk of #IRGC's projects that destroyed Khuzestan's resources.

Does #NYT investigate the #Why, #What, #When, #Who and #How of the problem & #Rafsanjani, #Reformists and #IRGC imposed destructive dams & water diversion projects from 1989 to 2005 that were continued under #Ahmadinejad and #Rouhani? Dams that are killing marshes and rivers?
Does #NYT dig deeper to see how those reformists who occupied the US Embassy in Tehran later led the #Iran_Water_and_Power_Resources_Development_Company and were behind the #Karkheh & #Gotvand and #Karun3 dams that are part of the problem?
A businessman who once was export manager of #IRGC's Kerman Motor in #UAE was falsely represented as a Strategic Studies Analyst by #ManotoTV, an #Iranian opposition TV! Few days ago, he was also interviewed by #BBCPersian! He has not written an article in his life! Who is he?!🤔
How on earth someone attends in a meeting against #Iran's Islamic Regime with #FakhrAvar & Saghar Kasraee in 2012! And just three years later, he is being appointed as export manager of #IRGC's Kerman Motor in #UAE?! It is strange! May be this guy is a double agent?!
Real political & strategic studies analysts such as Mahnaz Shirali, Scientology University Professor might boycott #ManotoTV over inviting people like #FarbodTalaee who pretends to be an analyst (in fact is a businessman who cooperated with #IRGC).
#Rouhani’s speech in #Rafsanjani’s commemoration ceremony was an implicit criticism of #Khamenei and the conservatives. By saying that Ayatollah #Beheshti and #Rafsanjani were the main cylinders of the revolution, he clearly disregarded #Khamenei’s role in #Khomeini’s movement
By pointing out to #Rafsanjani’s pragmatic way and claiming that “One of the important and strategic issues is how to end wars”, #Rouhani was also criticizing the #IRGC’s extremism and unwillingness to compromise.
“If we want to build a statue of moderation, it is Hashemi’s”
“If we want to build a statue of moderation, it is Hashemi’s”
#Rouhani also referenced to the role of #Rafsanjani in the advancement of #Iran’s military industry and stressed that Iran’s missiles and rockets are its “defensive weapon and we are proud of it”. He later announced that Tehran will launch 2 #satellites in the near future
