The media has gotten to the point where you can’t tell if a story had been written by Iranian or American and British mainstream media. The only obvious difference would be that the Iranian outlets would probably have mentioned Allah more.
And that will change within 5 years or so as the media here becomes even more Islamized.
With Prime Minister Mark Carney floating the idea Canada should restore diplomatic relations with Iran, could he at least set some pre-conditions, since this would be a huge propaganda victory for its murderous Islamic dictatorship?
The good news is the US invasion will be quick and near bloodless.
Mohammadreza Pakatchian said he chose to study aerospace engineering at Carleton University because it was a “great opportunity” to further his skills and knowledge.
In its acceptance letter to the Iranian, Carleton University offered him a scholarship, while an MP’s office spoke with immigration officials about his student visa.
But Canada’s national security agencies aren’t so keen on the 41-year-old doctoral student.
Canada’s spy agency, CSIS, says it has stepped up operations to combat possible Iranian state-directed activity here, warning that threats from Tehran’s theocratic regime are expected to continue this year.
The Canadian Security Intelligence Service declined to provide details of its operations Monday. It said it was increasing activities focused on violent extremism in Canada.
The line is crackly. But the voice of Mehrab Abdollahzadeh is clear and, given the circumstances, surprisingly steady.
He’s on death row in western Iran. He speaks quickly – as if time is running out. And his message is desperate.
“You are hearing my voice from Oromiyeh Central Prison, and this may be the last time you hear it,” he says in a voice note obtained by the Kurdistan Human Rights Network.
An Iraqi national charged in the United States with terrorism offences has been linked by prosecutors to the March shooting outside the U.S. consulate in downtown Toronto back in March.
U.S. prosecutors allege Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood Al-Saadi and others were behind the Toronto attack, as well as a second attack targeting a synagogue in Canada, while also coordinating nearly 20 attacks across Europe tied to an Iranian-backed militant network.
Another instance of the US informing Canadians of Muslim terror activity in our country.
WASHINGTON — A senior commander for Kata’ib Hizballah — the Iraqi proxy militia of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps — directed a sprawling international terrorist campaign that included an attack on the United States consulate in Toronto, paid operatives across Europe and Canada to carry out bombings and arsons against Jewish and American targets, and attempted to hire what he believed was a Mexican cartel operative to set fire to synagogues in New York, Los Angeles, and Arizona, according to a federal criminal complaint unsealed Friday in the Southern District of New York.

At their joint press conference on Thursday, President Trump said that he and Xi were “united” when it came to Iran: no nukes, open the Strait of Hormuz without Iranian blackmail, and no Chinese weapons sales.
And while President Trump said before the summit he didn’t need Chinese help with Iran, after their initial meeting, he told Sean Hannity that China will help “in any way it can.”
If all of this comes true, it is very bad news for Tehran.
Iran’s regime must be understood for what it is: a heavily armed group of thugs and, according to the US government, “the largest state sponsor of terrorism” 39 years in a row. Iran’s regime holds power through a brute force that terrorizes not only its neighbors and the broader world through proxies, ballistic missiles, and imminent nuclear capability, but also its own population of roughly 93 million. Decades of repression, of “exporting the revolution,” and ideological extremism have defined its identity, firmly rooted in anti-Americanism, anti-Semitism and contempt for its own citizens.

After the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) brutally clamped down on protests this year, killing 30,0000 people according to some estimates, an Iranian official might seem like an unlikely recipient of the Grand Cross of the Pontifical Order of Pius IX, which Iranian media claimed was awarded for efforts to “promote peace”.

The group, which emerged shortly after the start of the Iran war in late February, has claimed responsibility for a series of low-level attacks across at least seven European countries, including Britain, Belgium, Germany, France, and the Netherlands.
The incidents have largely involved arson, vandalism, and small improvised explosive devices targeting synagogues, Jewish charities, and Iranian opposition organisations.
