In recent years, Hezbollah has stepped up its activities beyond Lebanon’s borders. This uptick has been clearest in the Middle East—in Iraq, Yemen, and especially Syria—but plots have also been thwarted in South America, Asia, Europe, and now, possibly, the United States.
Reports of Hezbollah activity in North America are not new, though such reporting tends to focus on the group’s fundraising, money laundering, procurement, or other logistical activities from Vancouver to Miami. But last month, the criminal prosecution and conviction in New York of the Hezbollah operative Ali Kourani revealed disturbing new information about the extent of Hezbollah’s operations and activities in the United States and Canada.
Taken together, the arrests in 2017 of Kourani and another Hezbollah operative, Samer el-Debek, led the U.S. intelligence community to revisit its longstanding assessment that Hezbollah would be unlikely to attack the U.S. homeland unless the group perceived Washington to be taking action threatening its existence or that of its patron—Iran. Following Kourani and Debek’s arrests, the director of the U.S. National Counterterrorism Center said in October 2017, “It’s our assessment that Hezbollah is determined to give itself a potential homeland option as a critical component of its terrorism playbook.”

Kourani carried out other operational activities as a long-term sleeper agent, acting on behalf of Hezbollah’s external attack-planning component, the Islamic Jihad Organization (IJO), such as identifying Israelis in New York who could be targeted by Hezbollah and finding people from whom he could procure arms that Hezbollah could stockpile in the area.

Hezbollah also sent Kourani on operational assignments to Canada. Kourani described himself in interviews with FBI agents as being part of a “sleeper cell.”

Hezbollah is a creation of Iran.
Hezbollah: It all started for us in New York when this girl from Queens with bugged out eyes got us going.

We’ve never looked back.
There’s a known Hezbollah arms dealer that’s been in Chihuahua City,Mexico for years selling arms and tech support (car bombs) to the cartels.
Foreign Policy magazine is the mouthpiece of CFR, which may be as explicit a manifestation of the Deep State there is.
They really really want Trump to torpedo himself with a war in Iran. He’d lose in 2020, they’ll put a stop to all the investigations, and the rest of the cat stays in the bag.
The fact is, the terrorists Kourani and el-Debek are not creations of the CFR they are creations of Iran and they’re not here to deliver flowers.
