Iran's men of the Hour, Salami and Raisi, and Their Drone Threats to USA and Israel

Iran's Revolutionary Guards Chief, General Hossein Salami,  is boasting that they have drones with a range of 7,000kms, which is 4,349.598 miles or about 4,350 miles.  He said this only yesterday, Monday, June 27, 2021.  Is he trying to impress or scare Americans or make Iranians feel better about themselves these days.  They cannot reach the USA with them, but certainly can reach anyone in the Middle East.  They already have a hold on Syria and Iraq.  After all, they are now in negotiating in nuclear talks.  Tehran has  cut off cameras that enabled the International Atomic Energy Agency to monitor Iran's nuclear facilities.  

                                                               

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is a branch of the Iranian Armed Forces, founded after the Iranian Revolution on 22 April 1979 by order of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini.  The Chief Commander of the Guardians since 2019 is Hossein Salami, who was preceded by Mohammad Ali Jafari and Yahya Rahim Safavi respectively from 2007 and 1997.  The IRGC is designated as a terrorist organization by the governments of Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and the United States.                                                                  

Salami was born in 1960 in GolpayeganIsfahan province, Iran. In 1978, he was accepted in the mechanical engineering department at the Iran University of Science and Technology. When the Iran–Iraq War started, he joined the IRGC. After the war, he continued his study and graduated with a Master's degree in defense management.  On 20 June 2019, Salami became internationally known when the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC)  overthrew a US surveillance drone.

                                                                  

As of January 2014, when Barack Obama was president, the U.S. military operates a large number of unmanned aerial systems (UAVs or Unmanned Air Vehicles): 7,362 RQ-11 Ravens; 990 AeroVironment Wasp IIIs; 1,137 AeroVironment RQ-20 Pumas; and 306 RQ-16 T-Hawk small UAS systems and 246 MQ-1 Predators and MQ-1C Gray Eagles; 126 MQ-9 Reapers; 491 RQ-7 Shadows; and 33 RQ-4 Global Hawk large systems."  UAS no longer only perform intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance missions, although this still remains their predominant type. Their roles have expanded to areas including electronic attackdrone strikessuppression or destruction of enemy air defense, network node or communications relay, combat search and rescue, and derivations of these themes. These UAS range in cost from a few thousand dollars to tens of millions of dollars, with aircraft ranging from less than one pound to over 40,000 pounds.

                                                                         

Israel has drones.  The IAI Heron (Machatz-1) is a medium-altitude long-endurance unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) developed by the Malat (UAV) division of Israel Aerospace Industries.  The Heron navigates using an internal GPS navigation device, and either a pre-programmed flight profile (in which case the system is fully autonomous from takeoff to landing), manual override from a ground control station, or a combination of both. It can autonomously return to base and land in case of lost communication with the ground station. The system has fully automatic launch and recovery (ALR) and all-weather capabilities. It's 968 miles from Tehran to Jerusalem.                     

                            Sayyid Ebrahim Raisol Sadafi, Born 14 December 1960

Ancestrally, Ebrahim Raisi is among Husayn ibn Ali (Hussaini) Sayyids, and he is connected to Ali ibn Husayn Zayn al-Abidin Sayyids.  Sayyid is an honorific title denoting people accepted as descendants of the Islamic prophet Muhammad and his cousin and son-in-law Ali through his grandsons, Hasan ibn Ali and Husayn ibn Ali, sons of Muhammad's daughter Fatimah and Ali. Female sayyids are given the titles sayyida, syeda, alawiyah or sharifa.  He's giving his ancestors a very bad reputation with his behaviors.  

Iran just "elected", using the term broadly, a new president, who will also be under the Ayatollah's commands.  He is  Ebrahim Raisi, a real anti-Semite.  Newsweek had an article on him, sharing with us that Iran's  Ebrahim Raisi, played a hands-on role in promoting "The Protocols" as part of a sustained campaign to demonize and delegitimize the Jewish people.  Raisi's track record shows us that an obsessive hatred of the Jewish state is not an abstraction but a major feature of his career.  He has gotten much attention for reported crimes against humanity. It is well-documented that he was one of four judges who, in the late 1980s, oversaw the execution of thousands of members of Iranian opposition groups, including women and children.  He's been said to be the picture of evil.  

CNN did a report on Raisi.  Iran's Ebrahim Raisi is known as the ‘Butcher of Tehran’ for his alleged role in the executions of thousands of political prisoners and pro-democracy demonstrators.

Both men of Iran are 61 years of age. One is the head man of terrorists and the other is ultra anti-Semitic. And I thought Amadinejad was bad enough.

His 2005 presidential campaign, supported by the Alliance of Builders of Islamic Iran, garnered 62% of the runoff election votes, and he became president on 3 August 2005. During his presidency, Ahmadinejad was a controversial figure in Iran and other countries.  The Official Web site of the President of Iran quoted Ahmadinejad as saying on 15 May 2011 "The reason for our insistence that the Zionist regime should be wiped out and vanished is that the Zionist regime is the main base for imposing oppression and harbors the main terrorists of the world."

He was strongly criticized after claiming that the  Jews invented the Holocaust and making other statements influenced by "classic anti-Semitic ideas," which has led to accusations of antisemitism. Ahmadinejad denied that he was an anti-semite, saying that he "respects Jews very much" and that he was not "passing judgment" on the Holocaust. Later, Ahmadinejad claimed that promoting Holocaust denial was a major achievement of his presidency; he stated that "putting it forward at the global level  broke the spine of the Western capitalist regime". The comments appeared on the Arabic but not on the English version of Fars News Agency's website.
