It was recently reported that the US National Security Agency intercepted communications in January, which exposed emerging terrorist plots from the Iranian regime’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. The IRGC<\/a> was reportedly planning to orchestrate an assault on a Washington, DC military base in an effort to kill General Joseph M. Martin, the vice chief of staff for the US Army. The plot was one of many examples of the Iranian regime’s apparent commitment to obtaining revenge for the January 2020 killing of Qassem Soleimani<\/a>, the commander of the IRGC’s terrorist Quds Force<\/a>.<\/p>\n Tehran previously claimed to have successfully retaliated for that drone strike when, less than two weeks later, the Iranian military launched its first ballistic missile strike that targeted Western forces. More than a dozen missiles struck one Iraqi military base where American servicemen were stationed, and Iranian state media initially attempted to claim that several had been killed. Ultimately, though, the strike’s propaganda value was degraded when it was revealed that there had been zero fatalities and only modest damage to equipment of any value.<\/p>\n This plot was not the first the Iranian regime planned to carry out a terrorist act on US soil. In October 2011, the Iranian regime plotted to kill the Saudi ambassador in Washington DC.<\/p>\n “The Obama administration on Tuesday accused agents of the Iranian government of being involved in a plan to assassinate the Saudi ambassador to the United States. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said the thwarted plot would further isolate Tehran.” CBS News reported<\/a> on October 11, 2011.<\/p>\n Some senior officials of the regime, including the current commander of the terrorist Quds force, Ismail Qaani, have already threatened to carry out terrorist attacks on US soil.<\/p>\n “So long as there is a man around the world, he is ready to punish the cowards who did this,” Qaani said on January 1, 2021, adding, “With this crime you have committed, you have created another work for all the free people in the world and rest assure that someone even from inside your house, will respond to your crime.”<\/p>\n pic.twitter.com\/Zcsrx1S99z<\/a><\/p>\n — \u0633\u0631\u062f\u0627\u0631 \u0627\u0633\u0645\u0627\u0639\u06cc\u0644 \u0642\u0627\u0622\u0646\u06cc (@EsQaani) January 10, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
