Iran said plotting to assassinate US envoy to South Africa to avenge Soleimani
2020-09-16
[IsraelTimes] Politico reports that Lana Marks, a Jewish South Florida-based luxury handbag designer, was likely chosen due to her closeness to Trump, who ordered killing of Iranian general.

Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
is plotting to assassinate the US ambassador to South Africa as it seeks to further avenge the killing of top Iranian general Qassem Soleimani
, the Politico news site reported Sunday.

The article, citing US intelligence reports seen by a US government official and another official familiar with the documents, said that Ambassador Lana Marks was likely chosen due to her closeness to US President Donald Trump
...Oh, noze! Not him!...
Iran dismissed the allegation.

Iran has already retaliated for Soleimani’s killing in January, firing missiles at a US base in Iraq, to which the US did not respond. However,
the man who has no enemies isn't anybody and has never done anything...
the killing of a US ambassador would likely push an already tense region to war.

US officials have said that Tehran was likely to seek to further avenge his death.

Marks, 66, a Palm Beach, Florida-based luxury fashion and handbag designer, is a long-time friend of the US president and was a member of Trump’s exclusive Mar-a-Lago club in Florida before she was appointed ambassador in 2018.

Marks was born and raised in South Africa and was CEO of the Lana Marks Collections design firm, which caters to celebrities. Born Lana Banks, she grew up in the city of Port Elizabeth, where here family were prominent members of the city’s Jewish community.

However,
the man who has no enemies isn't anybody and has never done anything...
the report said that Iran still sought further Dire Revenge and was considering several targets, including the killing of Marks.

Politico said Marks had been informed of the threats against her, which reportedly involved the Iranian embassy in South Africa.

The report said that US officials have been aware of a general threat against Marks since the spring, but the threat had become more specific in recent weeks.

The report also noted that Iran runs a clandestine operation in South Africa and Marks may be more vulnerable than envoys in other countries, where the US has better security coordination with local authorities.
