Inside the Trans-Atlantic Trade in Iranian Weapons for Colombian Coke

In February last year, Antoine Kassis checked into the Windsor Golf Hotel & Country Club, a Victorian-style resort an hour north of Nairobi. Wearing an ill-fitting hooded sweatshirt, with gray stubbles and baggy eyes, he didn’t look like a typical upscale tourist.

The disheveled 58-year-old, who went by Tony, was a cousin of the recently deposed Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. He had traveled to Kenya planning to meet a supposed arms inspector from a Colombian rebel group and complete a $14 million deal to import 500 kilos of cocaine to Syria in return for military-grade weapons supplied by Iran and Russia.

Kassis didn’t know the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency had been watching him for two years. As he waited in a cafe, U.S. agents accompanied by Kenyan police approached him. Two months later he was extradited to the U.S., ending a lengthy sting operation.

Minister pressed why just 1 Iranian official deported after 24 deemed part of terror group

Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree faced pointed questions Tuesday about why the federal government has deported one Iranian official, despite longstanding concerns about how the regime operates in Canada and abroad.

Finding himself in the hot seat before a parliamentary committee, Anandasangaree said Canada is “aggressively trying to remove” members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) — a branch of Iran’s military that Canada listed as a terrorist entity under the Criminal Code in 2024 — but said due process has to be followed.

GIESBRECHT: Canada once let Nazis in — are we about to repeat that mistake with Iran’s IRGC?

Canada has a largely honourable history, but we weren’t at our best after WWII, when it came to picking which of the millions of refugees displaced by the war should be admitted, and which we should refuse entry. Many Nazis were admitted, while many Jewish Holocaust survivors were refused. The phrase “One is too many” summarized the anti-Semitic and pro-Nazi sympathies of too many Canadian officials and politicians at the time. The Deschênes Commission was established in 1985 to review Canada’s rather shameful attitude at the time, and the fact that many Nazi war criminals were living in Canada.

It is estimated that some 700 regime members may already be resident in Canada which leads me to suspect that the system is compromised by Islamists.

GIESBRECHT: IRGC is already here — Canada must stop being a safe haven for Iran’s enforcers

On March 5, the body of Masood Majoody was found. Majoody was a mathematics professor at Simon Fraser University but was also a vocal critic of the theocratic Iranian regime. He went missing in February 2026, and foul play was suspected. Sure enough, police have now arrested and charged two Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) members, Mehdi Razavi and Arezou Soltani, with his murder.

The war in Iran has come to Canada. IRGC collaborators are being charged with the murder.

Two Charged in Killing of Iranian-Canadian Activist Masood Masjoody as Gary says Feds approach to Iranian regime in Canada ‘aggressive

VANCOUVER — The killing of Iranian-Canadian activist and mathematician Masood Masjoody has triggered alarm across Canada’s Iranian diaspora, with prominent community voices warning that the case raises broader concerns about intimidation and possible transnational repression linked to Iran’s regime.

Police have charged Arezou Soltani of North Vancouver and Mehdi Ahmadzadeh Razavi of Maple Ridge with first-degree murder in connection with Masjoody’s death. The two accused are scheduled to appear in court Monday.

Rats Are Jumping Ship: Is the Iranian Regime Relocating to Canada?

This is not an overnight development that just happened in the past two weeks, after the Trump administration and Israel launched attacks on Iran.

Reports were emerging in January that even while Iranian citizens fed an uprising that led to the murder of roughly 40,000 of them at the hands of the Iranian regime, members of the regime have been quietly relocating to Canada.

Children of some of Iran’s most outspoken regime leaders live in West

Eshagh Ghalibaf studied at an Australian university and vacationed in Milan, Paris, Amsterdam, Zurich, Dubai and Istanbul before setting his sights on Canada.

He is also the son of a hardline member of the Iranian regime, which has killed thousands of protesters and is now attacking its neighbours with missiles.

Although his father, Iran’s parliamentary speaker, has said the Islamic republic would defend itself “until the last breath,” his son appears to have avoided compulsory military service.

The Feminists Who Hate MAGA More than the Mullahs

Some commentators have expressed disappointment at the relative silence of feminists on the situation of Iranian women. “Isn’t feminism supposed to be about women’s liberation?” asked Iranian-born Sheila Nazarian, a Beverly Hills doctor and media personality.

Nazarian expressed shock that “with Iran, a country where women are governed by absolutist religious law that hardly treats them as human, so many Western feminists either maintain their silence or end up supporting the regime.”

This is meaty.

Conservatives Call to Expel an Estimated 700 Iranian Regime Agents From Canada

Conservative MPs are calling on the federal government to do more to evict Iranian regime agents and officials from Canadian soil, amid hostilities in the Middle East and acts of violence on Canadian streets.

Tories said on March 9 they will table a motion in the House of Commons immigration committee calling on Ottawa to ensure individuals linked to Iran’s regime or Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) are swiftly removed from the country.

Toronto Synagogue Shootings Follow Suspected Iranian Regime Repression Killing in Canada

VANCOUVER/TORONTO — A wave of shootings targeting synagogues in Toronto has prompted heightened security measures across Canada, as investigators warn that the disappearance and suspected killing of an Iranian dissident in British Columbia may represent a case of transnational repression on Canadian soil.

U.S. intelligence sees Canada as ‘serious place of concern for Iranian activity’: National security analyst

While the war in Iran intensifies, the ripple effects of the conflict are already being felt around the world, including inside Canada.

The Islamic Republic of Iran operates a global network of regime sympathizers and sleeper cell operatives connected to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). The Government of Canada designated the IRGC a terrorist organization that has aligned itself with other militant groups and terrorist organizations like Hezbollah.

Iranian mathematician missing in Canada may have been targeted by Tehran, activists say

Police in Canada have concluded that a missing Iranian activist was most likely the victim of murder, prompting fears that his disappearance has the hallmarks of a transnational repression campaign targeting critics of Tehran.

Masood Masjoody, a mathematician critical of both Iran’s theocratic regime and the exiled family of the former shah, went missing in early February in the city of Burnaby, British Columbia.

Iran’s New Proxy: Sudan

At first glance, such rhetoric might appear to be the product of wartime propaganda. It is not.

The video reveals something far more troubling: the survival of Iran’s ideological and proxy doctrine inside elements aligned with Sudan’s armed forces. Even as Iran faces economic strain and growing regional pressure, the strategic model it developed over decades — cultivating ideological allies and proxy networks — continues to spread.

Sudan’s civil war may now be providing fertile ground for its revival.

Terry Newman: Are Iranian agents targeting Canadian Jews and anti-regime activists with bullets?

There appears to be a dark storm gathering over not only Jewish communities in Canada, but Iranian-Canadians who oppose the Islamic regime.

Late Monday night, gunfire struck the Temple Emanu‑El synagogue in Toronto, leaving several bullet holes in its windows. This followed a shooting on Sunday morning, in which multiple rounds were fired into an undisclosed business in Markham, Ont., just north of Toronto. Police have advised the community that they are aware of concerns that these violent incidents may be linked to what’s happening in the Middle East.

Why even Iraq war hawks should oppose this war

When president George H.W. Bush went to war against Iraq in 1991, he sought and won the consent of the Congress of the United States. Resolutions authorizing military force passed the House, by a margin of 250 to 183, and the Senate, 52-47.

Mr. Bush had earlier secured the passage of United Nations Security Council Resolution 678. The cause was clear and compelling: to repel Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait. The coalition in support numbered 34 countries in all.
