It was recently reported that as recently as January, the Iranian regime was actively planning to carry out a terrorist attack on American soil. At the time, the US National Security Agency intercepted communications that included discussion of a concrete plot among operatives in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps\u2019 foreign special operations division, the Quds Force<\/a>. Officers in the hardliner paramilitary had apparently fixed upon Army Vice Chief of Staff General Joseph M. Martin as a target and were planning to stage an attack upon Fort McNair in Washington DC as part of an effort to kill him.<\/p>\n

The attack was evidently discussed in the context of the IRGC\u2019s persistent desire for revenge following the January 2020 killing of Qassem Soleimani<\/a>, who was the longstanding head of the terrorist Quds Force and the second most powerful figure in Iran after the regime\u2019s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.<\/p>\n

In 2013, a close associate of the Quds Force was sentenced to 25 years in prison by a US federal court, based on his attempt to facilitate the bombing of a restaurant frequented by Saudi Arabia\u2019s ambassador to the US. While ambassador, Adel al-Jubeir, was the only specific target of the Plot, the Iranians involved in the Plot made it clear that they were prepared to accept the deaths of hundreds of innocent bystanders \u2013 a very likely outcome if the Plot had not been thwarted by US intelligence and law enforcement.<\/p>\n
