:lamo You cant even explain can you?

I gave you the answers. What was funny was how you couldn't even figure out what they were and mean. Now that is hilarious and on full display. :lol: But CPW gave you the short version. Which was funny that others had to help you out too. :lamo

They do? Last Hezbollah was like in the 80s? Iran trained their militias in 2011.

Yeah, they do. I don't know if you went to a public school, or anything, but 2015-2011 = 4. It's sort of what you call "pretty friggin recent"

Ok, in 2011. It is now the year 2015.

No, currently they still train people to kill Americans. They're just also busy currently killing Sunnis.

Are they currently pushing forward with this scheme that is a TERRORIST threat to the USA?

:shrug: That information would be classified due to the collection techniques necessary to capture ongoing threat stream activity, now, wouldn't it?

Hell they are listed under regional threats.

And they absolutely are.

Thats why they are still listed on state sponsor of terrorism... And they are considered both a regional threat, and a cyber threat in this report

:shrug: and they are all of those.

 

[mac]

And your point..........

That you're wrong.

 

[TheDemSocialist]

That you're wrong.

How does that at all prove me wrong? Hell, I even stated several times there were on the Foreign Terrorist List, and State Sponsor of Terrorism list...

Oh, I see. You're Kerry now.

:doh
Hezbollah terrorist attack on the Marines barracks happened in the 1980's. Also thank you for proving you know what 2015-2011 is.. Dont see your point especially when I stated this, "Iran trained their militias in 2011."... You overlook that or something?
And yes I did go to public schools.

It's sort of what you call "pretty friggin recent"

How does that make them a current threat? As you know the rise of ISIS is "pretty friggin recent"... .

No, currently they still train people to kill Americans. They're just also busy currently killing Sunnis.

They are? Who? Are they a current threat?

:shrug: That information would be classified due to the collection techniques necessary to capture ongoing threat stream activity, now, wouldn't it?

So you make a claim and you have absolutely nothing to back it up...

And they absolutely are.



:shrug: and they are all of those.

But you disagree with the terrorist threat part, and when asked to provide information how they are a current threat its, "well thats classified so I cant tell you".... :roll:

 

[TheDemSocialist]

Oh, I see. You're Kerry now.

No... Im just wondering how this proves me "wrong"... Care to explain?

 

[mac]

Well, first, you have a lot of "probably's" in your statement, which actually means you have no clue. Second, you said FARC is not on the list. It is.

p.s. There are also a lot of others on that list, and past lists, which never posed a direct threat to the US.

Well then it's not entirely your fault.

How does that make them a current threat? As you know the rise of ISIS is "pretty friggin recent"... .

The organization goes back to the late 90s. However their self-redesignation is indeed recent. Which in no way means that magically Iran somehow is no longer a threat, any more than the Soviet Union stopped being a threat with the rise of narco terrorists.

They are? Who?

Kata'ib Hizballah, Asaib Ahl al-Haq, Qods Force, approximately zillion different Sadrist and Sadr-like militia groups, Lebanese Hezbollah, a little-known group (but you may have heard of them) called "al-Qa'ida".... etc. so on and so forth. The Iranians also provide direction/influence to the 14 February movement and the Huthi.

Are they a current threat?

yup. In some ways, the most dangerous.

So you make a claim and you have absolutely nothing to back it up...

You asked for current attack planning. That information is simply not available in the public sphere until someone makes it public or the event occurs. But occasionally they do:

...Iran is the world’s foremost state sponsor of terrorism, which it uses as a strategic tool of its foreign policy. Led by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC)-Qods Force and the Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS), the “Iran Threat Network” comprises an alliance of surrogates, proxies, and partners such as Hizballah, HAMAS, and Iraqi Shi’a militants, among others. Iran funds, trains, and equips these terrorist organizations, in whole or in part, to use in attacks around the world. This clandestine threat network destabilizes countries throughout the Middle East and threatens regional security. Iran’s leaders have aimed most of their threats at one of our closest allies, blatantly declaring their desire to see the destruction of the state of Israel. We have a moral obligation to ensure that Iran never has the tools to make good on that threat.

Israel is not Iran’s only target, however. Iranian national Mansour Arbabsiar pled guilty last year to plotting with members of the Qods Force to murder the Saudi Arabian ambassador by bombing a crowded restaurant here in Washington, DC. The attempt to assassinate a foreign diplomat in our nation’s capital is an intolerable escalation of Iranian terrorist activity.

Iran has also sponsored and directed terrorist attacks against Israeli civilian and diplomatic targets worldwide. On February 13, 2012, a magnetic bomb was placed under the vehicle of an Israeli diplomat’s wife in New Delhi, India, seriously injuring her and three Indian nationals. The following day, a similar device was discovered under a vehicle belonging to the Israeli embassy in Tbilisi, Georgia, and safely defused. At the same time, Thai police arrested three Iranian nationals in Bangkok in connection with explosions at a private residence that subsequently revealed bomb-making materials and makeshift grenades intended for use in attacks against Israeli targets.

In June 2012, Kenyan authorities arrested two Iranian members of the Qods Force. Armed with 33 pounds of military-grade plastic explosives, they planned deadly attacks on Western and Israeli targets. On May 6, a Kenyan court sentenced them to life imprisonment for terrorism-related offenses....​

But you disagree with the terrorist threat part,

I disagree with any claim that they are not a threat force. For blatantly obvious reasons. The idea that somehow these groups are not a current threat because we aren't engaged in a gunfight this instant is like saying that a rampaging murderer isn't a threat force when he's reloading. Two former heads of the CIA and the CENTCOM commander aren't all wrong. FFS, it's even named the Iranian Threat Network.

What "list"? The "list" the thread is about? FARC is not part of that "list."
But what is your point?
