As the conflict between #Israel & #Iran-backed terrorists in #Gaza continues, this is what the media won't tell you:

May 6, 2021—Iran's IRGC General Asghar Emami:
"When we want American concessions, we can tighten our grip on Israel's throat."

2)
#Iran is the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism.
They’re in nuclear talks with world powers in Vienna.
Tehran uses its proxy terrorists as leverage.

May 22, 2021—Al-Quds Brigades spox thanked Iran for supplying money & military support.

Feb 16, 2020
#Iran-backed Islamic Jihad Secretary-General Ziad al-Nakhaleh
Qassem Soleimani personally supervised the transfer of weapons, missiles & technology into Gaza.

(Again, the media is silent. Why?)

May 7, 2021
#Iran-backed Islamic Jihad official Ramez Al-Halabi:
The rockets we use to pound Tel Aviv, our weapons, our money, and our food are provided by Iran.

(Again, the media is silent. Why?)

Pro-Iran Lebanese political analyst Anis Al-Naqqash:
#Iran armed [Hamas & Islamic Jihad], provided tech assistance to the Houthis in Yemen

(Again, the media is silent. Why?)

“In recent months, [#Iran's] investment in the Palestinian arena has also been growing out of a desire to influence it — with an increase in the (annual) funding in the Gaza Strip for (militant groups) Hamas & Islamic Jihad to $100 million.”

#Iran transfers $100 million/year to Hamas & Islamic Jihad. The money is divided as follows: $70 million is transferred to Hamas, while Islamic Jihad gets $30 million. The vast majority is used to further bolster their military wings.

Necessary reminder:

#Iran-backed Hamas chief
"We have our own funds... We don't need any reconstruction funding. I want to thank Iran which has not stopped assisting Hamas & other factions with money, arms, experience & support."

12)
Necessary reminder:
#Iran-backed senior Hamas official Ismail Haniyeh saluted the regime ruling Iran "which has not faltered in supporting & funding the resistance financially, militarily & technically. This is an example of the [regime's] strategy..."

13)
Necessary reminder:
#Iran-backed Hamas co-founder Mahmoud al-Zahder said in an interview that in 2006 Qassem Soleimani gave them $22 million in cash.
This is how the regime will spend any money coming from possible sanctions reliefs.

"As long as Iran has money, that means we here have money, too," said Lebanese Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah.

Obama's 2015 nuclear deal provided $150 billion in credit & $1.8 billion in cash to Tehran.
Biden may provide as much as $1 trillion.

15)
What is my source?

"Biden’s New #Iran Deal Offers Iran $1 Trillion by 2030 – This Is Treasonous"

$275 billion in the first year

$800 billion over the next five years

Necessary reminder:

Hassan Nasrallah—Dec 27, 2020
Most of the weapons, missiles, facilities that [terrorist] groups have in Gaza are supplied by #Iran's IRGC Quds Force.

Iran used its diplomatic ties to establish a weapons factory for Gaza in Sudan.

17)
Necessary reminder:

Listen to the worlds of this Palestinian woman describe the #Iran-backed #Hamas terrorist group as the source of their miseries.

18)
Final thoughts:
I am from #Iran. I want nothing but peace in the Middle East and beyond.

What I firmly understand is that Iran’s regime, the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism, is behind the region’s long slate of miseries.

19)
MSM is silent on Iran fueling regional terrorism through proxy terrorists. This is suspicious since the Iran nuclear talks are ongoing in Vienna.

Recall the IRGC general:
"When we want American concessions, we can tighten our grip on Israel's throat."

20)
What do you think?

ADDENDUM:
Footage of 107mm and D60 rocket launches from #Gaza into #Israel.

ADDENDUM:

Interesting question raised by @AuroraIntel: Is that a minaret of a mosque? Are the #Iran-backed terror groups in #Gaza using mosques as cover to launch rockets into #Israel?

ADDENDUM:
More footage of #Iran-backed terror groups in #Gaza using dense residential/populated areas to launch their rockets towards #Israel.

ADDENDUM:
#Iran-backed terror groups in #Baza released footage of their SQ10 rocket launches earlier today.

As you watch this video keep in mind that money from Iran are funding these rockets.

ADDENDUM:
Failed launch from #Gaza captured on TV stream.

This is a reminder that that rockets launched by #Iran-backed terror groups are a threat to both #Israel and innocent civilians in Gaza.
