Iran’s main proxy terrorist group is expanding in Latin America and networking with organized crime and other violent groups, according to U.S. and Argentinean officials.
“It matters whether the U.S. can move the dial and thwart Iranian-backed penetration in our backyard,” Toby Dershowitz, a senior vice president at the U.S.-based Foundation for Defense of Democracies, told the Washington Examiner. "This may be the year that serves as a wake-up call for others in the region impacted adversely by Hezbollah’s malign activities — including but not limited to money laundering and narco-terrorism.”
Faurie emphasized that Hezbollah has formed ties with historically communist terrorist groups in Peru and Colombia: the Shining Path and the ELN, respectively. Those allegations dovetailed with U.S. complaints that Iranian proxies are working with Venezuelan drug traffickers, with the approval of strongman Nicolás Maduro's regime, to finance terrorism in the Middle East.

For a minute, I thought the article was talking about the Squad(ders).
Meanwhile, the pimps in Congress, (Dims: pimps; Repugnants: whores) continue to sell us out via open borders, not caring the evil they’ve wrought.
What about the countless moles the CIA has already planted throughout our govt?
Terrible, but not a surprise.
They share a common goal: destroy the US and everything good in this world.
So when do we admit who “the Squad” is affiliated with?
We're already working on that.
I have an idea, let’s let Iran continue and wait for them to have functioning nukes on ICBMs and then we can take them seriously.
Looks like a good enough provocation to give direct aid to the Iranian people who have had enough of the mad mullahs. That could include armed rebellion instead of getting our guys involved on the ground.
Stupid neocon propaganda.
The red/green alliance is at it again. Red/greenor green/red...like infected mucus soaked with blood.
A reason why Trump is pondering a hit on Iran
That could have been done at the time of the Green Revolution in 2009. But B.O. was a pussy and he was on the Mullah’s side. So many missed opportunities. Like towards the end of Desert Storm and Colon Bowel stopped the rout of the Iraqi army and said let’s talk. He’s another jerk that needs to take a long walk on a short pier.
Yes indeed...one of several reasons.
