Terror cells have been placed on high alert to attack targets in the United States and Europe should Iran’s nuclear facilities be attacked, a source in the Revolutionary Guards says.

The terror cells in the U.S. are being coordinated by Quds Force personnel operating out of the Iranian Interests Section in Washington, the source says. Because Iran and the U.S. have no diplomatic relations, Iran’s Interests Section operates under the umbrella of the Pakistani embassy.

“These cells work out of safe houses where ammunition and explosives are stored, each with an operational commander who reports back to Iran,” the source says.

Analysts in Iran believe Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the supreme leader, has provided two choices to the West: either accept a nuclear Iran or face all-out retaliation if its nuclear facilities are attacked.

According to the source, who has served in the Guards’ intelligence apparatus, Iranian leaders have long prepared for an all-out confrontation with the West. The Guards’ commander, Hussein Babai, has openly stated that after the 2006 Israel-Hezbollah war in Lebanon, Quds Force and Hezbollah terror cells began expanding in cities across Europe and America.

In an interview last October, Rep Peter King, R-N.Y., chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, stated he was convinced that Iranian diplomats out of New York and Washington, D.C., were involved with terrorist forces in Iran, attempting to spy on America.

The source says these cells are divided into two groups: one is operational and awaits the order to attack; the other gathers information, monitoring such sensitive sites as power plants, water and food distribution, refineries, railroads and others along with information on officials of the host countries and their activities. This information, transferred to Iran, is being used by the Quds Force command in Tehran “to select targets for maximum effect.”

In testimony before a U.S. House panel in March, the director of the New York Police Department’s intelligence analysis unit, Mitchell Silber, revealed that the Iranian diplomats had carried out “hostile reconnaissance” of sites in New York as many as six times, alarming police officials that the city might be targeted for terrorist attack.

The operatives enter the Western countries through several means, but some use fake identities and claim to be part of religious minorities under persecution in Iran. According to the source, several hundred have entered the U.S. as members of the Baha’i faith whose lives supposedly are threatened by the Islamic regime.

Others enter from Mexico where the cells are supported with cash from an illegal drug operation. Businesses run by Hezbollah, mosques and Islamic foundations provide another source of financing for these cells in America. Other assets, the source indicates, are of Mexican and Latin American origin, which the Guards’ intelligence apparatus has longed worked to train and recruit.

Hassan Abassi, a former Guard commander and current strategist, has stated that the Guards have identified more than 800 sensitive sites in the U.S. to be attacked, and “if America dares to destabilize the Islamic Republic of Iran, it should have no doubt that we will destabilize America.”

Last week the Guards warned that any retaliation to any threat by Israel or the West will be much more devastating than the recent terror attacks on Israeli interests worldwide.

The cells within the U.S. and Europe are now on high alert, according to the source. Targets have been chosen and are prioritized: First, attack energy resources (power, gas and oil facilities); second, create fear by attacking high-population areas; last, assassinate officials of the host country who have supported war with Iran.

If Iran is attacked by America or if America supports Israel in an attack, then these assets are to retaliate. However, the source says, their actions will be sequential unless the attack goes beyond the nuclear sites with the aim of overthrowing the Islamic regime, in which case there is to be an all-out response.

The source indicates an all-out response will include attacks on other countries in the region, such as Saudi Arabia and Bahrain, after Israel has been targeted by hundreds, if not thousands, of missiles.

The most ominous message from the source is that an all-out response will not be based on a defense doctrine but rather on the belief that total chaos will hasten the return of last Islamic messiah for the final defeat of the infidels. It believes that the coming will take place from the city of Qum in Iran.

Meanwhile, the General Command of Iran’s Armed Forces has warned it will provide a crushing response to any threat by America and Israel that will jeopardize their “disgraceful existence.”

The Arab Spring is “a result of the message of the Islamic Republic of Iran and its path, which is based on true Islam,” the command’s statement, issued days ago, said. “This message has not only helped with the spread of the Islamic Awakening in the region but has spread through protests in Europe and the U.S. (the Occupy Wall Street movement).

“Soon with the help of Allah, in this most significant juncture in human history, the evil and despotic powers will be defeated and a new world order will take place, led by the Islamic republic. … This leadership today has created the biggest danger yet to the fake and illegal Zionist regime and has sent shock waves to the infidels’ empire with its center at the White House.”

The United States would not be safe from retaliation if Iran is attacked by Washington, the Iran newspaper quoted a senior Revolutionary Guards commander on Tuesday as saying.

“In the face of any attack, we will have a crushing response. In that case, we will not only act in the boundaries of the Middle East and the Persian Gulf, no place in America will be safe from our attacks,” Massoud Jazayeri was quoted as saying by the daily.

Eyer, the whole story revolves around a premise that is faulty, that our administration has any intent what-so-ever of stopping Iran's march to a nuclear weapon and that fits with their philosophy that any country that has ever armed itself thusly has become more secure, contented and peaceful...

However, it is amusing to see the patented knee-jerk replies of the Democrats.

Intelligence agencies have reportedly discovered an underground Iranian terrorist group sending members to Turkey to attack Jews, Israelis and Western targets. The organization, known as ‘Unit 400,’ is said to be part of the Al Quds Brigade.

Sky News reported an intelligence source who said that the unit "has been developing in the last few months a standing operating procedure for carrying out an attack in Turkey against western targets as well as Israeli and Jewish. It is our firm assessment that these procedures are in a very advanced stage, and that the intention is to act on the plans very soon."

The Supreme Leader of Iran, Ali Khamenei is said to control the Quds Force through his close ally Qassem Suleiman.

"He runs the whole thing - directly. [Mahmoud] Ahmedinajad [the Iranian president] makes all the noise and gets the attention but it's the Supreme Leader who is in charge of what is going on especially when it comes to international operations," said a senior intelligence official.

“It is our firm assessment that these procedures are in a very advanced stage, and that the intention is to act on the plans very soon,” the source added.

A secret study conducted by a foreign intelligence agency explained, "Unit 400 is a top-secret ‘special ops’ unit within the elite overseas wing of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Qods Force (IRGC-QF). It plans and carries out terror attacks on external targets, and provides material support to foreign militia groups, at the direct behest of the Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. This is in accordance with the regime's core strategic considerations about how best to challenge perceived enemies in Israel and the west - through asymmetric warfare - and to cope with mounting international pressure over its nuclear programme."

According to the report, the sources cited evidence showing that Unit 400 was given instructions to carry out more frequent and more daring attacks around the world as a demonstration of ‘Iran's asymmetric power,’ Zee News reported.

The planned attacks are said to come in response to the growing threat of an Israeli strike on Iranian nuclear facilities.

It is in keeping with current Iranian activities (see also Sudan Ethnic Cleansing).

As we learned last week, not only does the administration have no plans to attack Iran, they don't intend to allow ANYONE to attack it...

WASHINGTON — Israel has been alarmed by what officials determined
were leaks by the administration of U.S. President Barack Obama of purported
Israeli preparations to attack Iran.

A leading U.S. analyst who returned from talks with the Israeli
leadership reported that the Obama administration was accused of staging a
campaign to undermine Israel. The analyst, Robert Satloff, said Washington
was also blaming Israel for the rise in global crude oil prices, deemed as
harming the U.S. economy.

“I cannot underscore how deep and visceral the [Israeli] comments of the leaking that came out of Washington were,” Satloff, executive director of the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, said.

In late March, several reports were published by leading American newspapers and journals [including Foreign Policy: Israel-Azerbaijan ties could expedite Iran strike] that questioned Israel’s military capability. One report asserted that Israel was developing a strategic relationship with Azerbaijan to pave the way for air strikes on Iran. On March 31, a U.S. official told the Israeli news web site, Ynet, that the administration was not responsible for the story on Azerbaijan.

“The United States is leaking information to the media in order to avert
an Israeli strike in Iran,” Israeli military analyst Ron Ben-Yishai said.

Iran knows it can do whatever it want, with impunity, witness its support for Bashir Assad's massacres*...

You don't see the allies doing the ol' Momar on him, now do you?







* We're not even talking the POSSIBILITY of a massacre, but the real fawkin' thing!

Personally I think the world would be a better place if Iran was bombed back to the stone age. Not many Middle eastern countries would be upset.

Eyer is a douche but you are a total fool. You cannot compare Iran to any other country. Iran is and has been the center for terror forever and their leadership are fanatics. You have no idea what you are talking about.

I have a fellow martialist that I have known for years, his father was one of the Generals who had to flee Jimmy Carter's Brave New Iran, and his arrogance knows no bound. I am not as stupid as you posit, I was merely addressing the nature of the current administration for I am of that camp that believes Iran will use the bomb against the Jews in order to get a leg up in the Caliphate race and achieve dominance for Shia (not LaBeouf). But, having learned the lesson of Iran, I would not even recommend a Republican administration do anything about Iran as it will be used against them to further tear this country apart and destroy it so that it can be remade into an egalitarian soviet.

No, please, kindly go over to the Playground and thoroughly fuck yourself.

Afghanistan is already in the stone age.

And the US is still fighting a war there after... what, ten years?

The Russians had enough intelligence to give it up after eight.

No shit. I have stated that when I was deployed there.

The problem with Iran and the middle east in general is we employ western logic when dealing with the Middle East which is faulty because they do not think like we do. The west had the same issues when dealing with the Orient. Violence and murder seem to be genetically encoded into those fuckers and the Persians (Iran) has always been the worst of the lot.

Gotta love the experts on the GB who write some dribble and look at their handiwork and because it is grammatically correct and correctly spelled somehow equates that to they must be smarter than those around them. I have noticed the true idiots of the GB tend to attack grammar and spelling as their first line of defense as ridicule to defend a position backed by Wiki.

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

In your case, first-hand experience has embittered you and ruined all objectivity to the point where you cannot tolerate any dissent to your viewpoint even when the dissent is purely imaginary fiction on your part based upon an erroneous reading of one post. Next time, pay attention to the sounds emanating from your moving lips and disengage the Iran-hate filter that permeates your world view.
