Iran Super Thread- Merged

Interesting use of past tense.

Does he no longer think they "won"?
He had it, but the fake news folks took it away from him? Does that affect his stats on wars he has stopped, like a video review calling back a goal?

Meh, he still has his peace award from FIFA, or Crackerjack, or who ever gave it to him.
 
Likely related so I’m posting it here- US consulate in Toronto got shot up this morning. I can’t remember which article had this detail but I read somewhere ten bullet casings. Toronto Police and RCMP investigating.

Bumped with the latest: US arrests, charges (alleged) ringleader of this and other attacks, Iraqi national Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood Al-Saadi.

Criminal complaint via US DOJ attached.

Perfect, thanks, I was looking for the DOJ complaint yesterday and hadn’t found it yet.

Not a ton of detail about the Canadian angle in it… But at first glance the criminal complaint looks to describe phone calls in mid to late March made by a suspect to an FBI informant and which the informant recorded. It refers to attacks in Canada. There’s also talk of terrorist financing methods. I need to give this a read in its entirety later.

Toronto saw Synagogue shootings on March 6th and 7th, and the consulate shooting on the 10th. A youth male was arrested for the synagogue shootings in early May. So, shooting, phone call(s) to FBI informant, arrest by Canadian police (Toronto Police hate crimes, not RCMP national security) a month and a half later.

This one will be interesting to watch. Not appropriate for me to speculate on anything given this looks to be very much a live matter, some before the courts, some under investigation. I can only imagine a wealth of intelligence has been gleaned from the U.S. investigation. I might comment more just on the U.S. side later if I have time to read and digest.
 
OK- read it. Not a ton to add, but basically looks like the accused was in contact with an FBI informant who acted on direction from police; we'd use the term 'agent'. The informant then introduced the accused to a police undercover who agreed to carry out arson attacks for payment. The accused paid the undercover officer an agreed up front amount to carry out attacks and then followed up on why attacks had not taken place. Classic informant -> agent -> undercover play.

If the account in the criminal complaint holds up, it's pretty compelling. Dude was orchestrating attacks in Europe, the U.S., and apparently Canada. I'd love to know more about what's been done with the Canadian tidbits. Hopefully we learn more about that in the fullness of time.
