The Islamic Republic’s Global Terror Network: New Assassination Plots and Criminal Collaborations Revealed

On Friday, September 6, the Washington Examiner reported new revelations about an Iranian-backed plot to assassinate Joe Biden, Donald Trump, and Nikki Haley. Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) released FBI documents implicating Iran in the assassination plot targeting Trump, President Biden, and a former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations.

According to Fox News, Grassley released the documents after receiving them from legally protected law enforcement whistleblowers. However, the documents were removed from the Senate’s public records Thursday night. Grassley’s office did not respond to questions about the removal.

The leaked documents, which have been viewed by outlets including the New York Post, detail interviews with Asif Merchant, a Pakistani man accused of assassinating Trump with Iranian support. Merchant revealed to federal investigators that he discussed assassination strategies with an Iranian operative named Mehrdad Yusef, targeting not only Trump but also Biden and Haley. Previously published information indicated that Trump was Iran’s primary target in retaliation for his role in the killing of Qasem Soleimani, an Iranian military leader.

Grassley stressed the importance of transparency among federal agencies, calling on them to focus on building public trust and ensuring the safety of American citizens.

On Thursday, September 5, Der Spiegel revealed that the regime in Tehran systematically hires criminals in Europe to carry out attacks. One of those criminals, identified as Abdul Karim S., is said to have been recruited by ayatollahs to prepare attacks in France and Germany. The Quds Force, a branch of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards responsible for operations abroad, is said to be behind this organization and coordination.

French internal intelligence documents reveal that Iranian services have changed their operational methods and now systematically prefer to use members of criminal gangs. This marks a shift in the regime’s tactics, underscoring its growing reliance on such individuals for attacks abroad.

New York federal court orders Iran and Taliban to pay massive damages

A federal court in New York has ordered the Khamenei regime and the Taliban to pay $145.7 billion in damages to thousands of injured people and the families of victims of the September 11 terrorist attacks.

In rulings dated August 27 and 28, Judge George Daniels cited previous decisions and held that U.S. federal courts have the authority to hold both the Taliban and the Ayatollahs accountable for their roles in the attacks. The rulings are part of the broader lawsuit Burnett v. Al Baraka Banking & Investment Corp., originally filed in 2002, which accused numerous governments, banks, corporations and charities of supporting al Qaeda in the run-up to the 9/11 attacks.

Khamenei’s State-Sponsored Terrorism: A Threat to the US and Europe

This case includes claims from more than 6,000 plaintiffs who have sought justice for damages suffered during one of the deadliest terrorist attacks in history.

The Iranian regime continues to demonstrate its involvement in global terrorism, with recent revelations exposing multiple plots and operations. Senator Chuck Grassley released FBI documents detailing an Iranian-backed plot to assassinate prominent American political figures, including Joe Biden, Donald Trump and Nikki Haley. The plot, orchestrated by Iranian agents, was intended as retaliation for Trump’s role in the assassination of Iranian military leader Qasem Soleimani.

In Europe, Khamenei’s use of criminal networks has also come to light. According to Der Spiegel, the regime is systematically recruiting criminals for attacks, with a focus on France and Germany. The Quds Force, responsible for the Ayatollah’s overseas operations, is coordinating these activities, as confirmed by French intelligence services.

Further deepening Iran’s entanglement in global terrorism, a U.S. federal court in New York has ordered the Khamenei regime and the Taliban to pay $145.7 billion in damages to victims of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. The court’s decision is part of a larger lawsuit accusing multiple entities of supporting al Qaeda in the lead-up to the attacks.
