Iran long has been known to be a sponsor of terrorism, including that inflicted by Hamas.
While its exact participation in that terror group’s Oct. 7 massacre of hundreds of innocent Israeli civilians isn’t sure yet, it appears there was direct involvement.
For example, a column at RedState.com charges that the Hamas terror ranks were given “specialized” combat training in Iran in preparation for the attack on Israel.
Iran and Hamas share ideologies in that both have pledged themselves to the eradication of the Jewish state.
The column explained a Wall Street Journal article cited evidence of the training program.
Explained RedState, “This revelation shatters any lingering doubts about Iran’s role in bringing about the attack, which killed over 1,000 Israelis, many of whom were noncombatants.”
The WSJ said, “In the weeks leading up to Hamas’s Oct. 7 attack on Israel, hundreds of the Palestinian Islamist militant group’s fighters received specialized combat training in Iran, according to people familiar with intelligence related to the assault.”
The report continued, “Roughly 500 militants from Hamas and an allied group, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, participated in the exercises in September, which were led by officers of the Quds Force, the foreign-operations arm of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, the people said. Senior Palestinian officials and Iranian Brig. Gen. Esmail Qaani, the head of Quds Force, also attended, they said.”
The report pointed out that some Hamas terrorists invaded Israel by riding motorcycles, a strategy not before used by Hamas, but which is common for Iranian terrorists.
Israel, in response, has been conducting air strikes on specific Hamas targets in Gaza, and has confirmed plans are developed for a ground invasion.
Israeli officials have stated their goal at this point is the demolition of Hamas.
RedState reported, “Earlier this month, another report revealed that Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah met with Iranian officials in March to discuss a military offensive against Israel. The group has engaged in skirmishes with Israeli forces in the northern part of the country and has indicated it might ramp up its attacks against the Jewish state. It was also revealed that Iranian security officials assisted Hamas in planning the October 7 attack on Israel. Senior members of Hamas and Hezbollah said the regime gave the go-ahead for the assault at a meeting in Beirut. However, U.S. officials still claim the regime did not participate in the planning of the attack.”
IMPORTANT NOTE TO WND READERS: “Our country is going communist!” warned Donald Trump recently. “It’s going Marxist, it’s going REALLY bad.” He added, “The PEOPLE of our country aren’t that way – but the people RUNNING it are.” Is this just election-season bluster and hyperbole, or can the utterly unthinkable be true?
Incredibly, it is true. In 2023 America, the Democratic Party – its agendas, its core values, its wall-to-wall dishonesty, and its audacious and utterly ruthless methods – are virtually indistinguishable from those of modern-day communists. Compare the Communist Party USA’s website, CPUSA.org (where the featured top-of-page story is about “TRANS RIGHTS”), with the Democratic National Committee’s website, Democrats.org, and try to discern any substantive difference.
America’s plunge into atheistic Marxism in virtually every area of life – from weaponizing government and courts to destroy critics and political opponents, to crushing free speech, to corrupting and brainwashing the nation’s children, and much much more – is all stunningly explored in the October issue of WND’s critically acclaimed Whistleblower magazine, titled “AMERICA’S COMMUNIST REVOLUTION: How the freest nation in history is rapidly becoming a Marxist police state.” Beyond exposing the Marxist takeover of America’s key institutions, this explosive special report goes on to reveal how Marxism/communism is ACTUALLY A MAJOR WORLD RELIGION, albeit a false and malevolent one. It unearths what REALLY motivates the “high priests” of this truly dark atheistic faith, which has captivated untold millions and murdered millions more. And it vividly illustrates exactly how and why citizens of the greatest nation in history are now experiencing – to quote Barack Obama’s words – “a fundamental transformation of the United States of America.” This Whistleblower issue is a crucial wake-up call for all Americans. WHISTLEBLOWER is available in both the popular print edition and a state-of-the-art digital version, either single issues or discounted annual subscriptions.
