#3  Well TW, Princeton isn't exactly Soprano country, but it's still New Jersey. Anything could happen.

#2  Making it clear to the old guard that they are no longer safe? If it’s a less-than-hot war they want, it goes both ways?

The Twitter thread mentions still-unsanctioned Seyed Hossein Mousavian, who had served on Iran’s nuclear negotiation team but for the past four years has lived in the U.S. as a visiting scholar at Princeton — one of 2,000 recipients of blank Green Cards courtesy of President Obama’s negotiating team. They’ll want cleaning up too, I imagine, along with whatever dear little friends they’ve made since settling here with their families.

#1  Following a late 1990 secret meeting involving Sudan and Iran intelligence services, Iranian agents began to use Khartoum as a base of operations in the Horn of Africa and the Med.
There then emerged for the first time the Iranian Security Minister Ali Fallahian, a powerful member of Iran's Supreme National Security Council chaired by Iranian President Rafsanjani. Western intel sources were aware that Iran's ruling Council had approved the decision to assassinate government opponents in exile, and Fallahian's minions were made responsible for ratifying the death sentence. Despite Fallahian's involvement in a myriad of terrorist activities (and despite Iranian active presence in Somalia and Bosnia) he was never listed by the USA. He's a little long in the tooth by now.
