Khamenei’s Rep. Provokes Attacks on Saudi and Emirati Oil Installations
During a televised speech that was broadcasted by the local Alborz TV, Mohammad-Mehdi Hosseini Hamdani, the Supreme Leader’s representative in Karaj asked his followers to influence the new generation and expressed his support for attacking oil installations in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.
Practically acknowledging the widespread hatred towards state officials, he said: “While you are explaining things to the youth, you should explain about of the nation’s servants as well as the traitors as much as you can. They (the enemy) are using every opportunity to destroy, stigmatize and slander well-known and effective figures in society to sideline them. Beware of the war of narratives.”
Emphasizing the terrorist nature and regional interference of the regime, he also stated: “Today, when the Houthis have control over the oil wells of Saudi Arabia, it is the best time to free themselves from the domination of the arrogate countries. They can destroy the military and the oil infrastructure of the Saudis and even the UAE with their missiles and drones.”

MP Brags About Iranian Regime’s Ability to Assassinate US Officials
Today, in an interview with the state-run news agency ILNA, Javad Karimi Qoddoussi, a member of the regime’s parliamentary Security Commission, admitted that Tehran might assassinate US officials on American soil by funding local mercenaries.
While trying to deny previous FBI allegations that the Iranian regime had recruited an IRGC Guds Force agent to kill US officials, Karimi Qoddoussi said: “We don’t need to send the Revolutionary Guards to the United States to take revenge on American officials. If we pay the people who are on the ground in Manhattan, New York, they can do this.”
Referring to the attack on British author Salman Rushdie, Karimi Qoddoussi added: “This is a good proof to denounce the White House’s claim that we sent an IRGC member from Iran to the United States to assassinate former US President Security Advisor John Bolton. Because in the same country, there are zealous people who are aware of our standings and they can act on ‘fire at will’, and wherever they get this opportunity, they will take revenge on the likes of Trump and Pompeo and so on.”

Raisi & his criminal regime are the worst enemy of Islam. 90% #1988Massacare victims are members of the MEK. Shame of those who dehumanize these martyrs & try to wipe their identity with their lies & misinformation.
