ISIS claimed responsibility for a pair of Wednesday attacks in Tehran in which suicide bombers and teams of gunmen stormed Iran’s parliament and the nearby shrine of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, killing at least 12 and injuring dozens of others.
This attack was preceded by a number of lesser terrorist incidents thought connected to ISIS. The latest terror attack was filmed inside the Parliament building and broadcast live to the internet. Iran seems to be caught by surprise with these attacks and has been stunningly silent.
One can only hope that Iran’s government gets exactly what they deserve as the sponsors of state exported terrorism for decades.
This is a very interesting development, stay tuned.
Interesting and perplexing…eyes and ears on.
Not perplexing at all.
Who arms and funds ISIS?
Most of their money comes from oil fields captured in Iraq and Syria, punishing taxes they impose, businesses they have taken over, banks they took over ($500 million to $1 billion), funding from wealthy donors, and criminal operations (looting, drugs and trafficking). ISIS is operating exactly like a (criminal) nation although it’s control intrudes into several separate nations.
I have zero confidence that the US did much to block funding of terrorist organizations, in particular ISIS given their rise, expansion, and strength during Obama’s tenure.
That will change under Trump.
How ironic that the world’s leading sponsor of terrorism (IRAN) gets it in the shorts from the terrorists! Couldn’t happen to a more deserving country!
