Police in Canada have concluded that a missing Iranian activist was most likely the victim of murder, prompting fears that his disappearance has the hallmarks of a transnational repression campaign targeting critics of Tehran.
Masood Masjoody, a mathematician critical of both Iran’s theocratic regime and the exiled family of the former shah, went missing in early February in the city of Burnaby, British Columbia.
At first glance, such rhetoric might appear to be the product of wartime propaganda. It is not.
The video reveals something far more troubling: the survival of Iran’s ideological and proxy doctrine inside elements aligned with Sudan’s armed forces. Even as Iran faces economic strain and growing regional pressure, the strategic model it developed over decades — cultivating ideological allies and proxy networks — continues to spread.
Sudan’s civil war may now be providing fertile ground for its revival.
There appears to be a dark storm gathering over not only Jewish communities in Canada, but Iranian-Canadians who oppose the Islamic regime.
Late Monday night, gunfire struck the Temple Emanu‑El synagogue in Toronto, leaving several bullet holes in its windows. This followed a shooting on Sunday morning, in which multiple rounds were fired into an undisclosed business in Markham, Ont., just north of Toronto. Police have advised the community that they are aware of concerns that these violent incidents may be linked to what’s happening in the Middle East.
When president George H.W. Bush went to war against Iraq in 1991, he sought and won the consent of the Congress of the United States. Resolutions authorizing military force passed the House, by a margin of 250 to 183, and the Senate, 52-47.
Mr. Bush had earlier secured the passage of United Nations Security Council Resolution 678. The cause was clear and compelling: to repel Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait. The coalition in support numbered 34 countries in all.

The meeting between Iran’s supreme leader and some 40 officials took place every Saturday morning at Ali Khamenei’s office and principal residence in Tehran. It gave Israel an hour-long window to close in for the kill before he returned to one of his two bunkers deep beneath the ground.
At about 6am on Saturday — a symbolic day and time as this was when Hamas launched its October 7 attack — Israel enacted a plan that was years in the making. It was made possible by a network of intelligence officials that built a near-omnipresent picture of where the 86-year-old was and who he was with at all times.

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s SON is named as Iran’s new supreme leader after Trump and Israel wiped out most of the regime’s leadership in strikes, state media reports
In a move that surprised observers at home and abroad, Prime Minister Mark Carney issued this weekend an unqualified endorsement of U.S. President Donald Trump’s military attack on Iran. For a leader who has cultivated an image of sober, multilateral statesmanship, Carney’s decision to break with Europe—and with his own recently articulated foreign policy doctrine of middle power cooperation—begs the question of what exactly is Canada’s foreign policy almost one year into his premiership.
Paints a portrait of a very cynical Carney.
WASHINGTON / OTTAWA — Even as kinetic strikes against Iran’s nuclear and military infrastructure have devastated the Islamic Republic’s conventional capabilities, a more shadowy threat remains intact and potentially primed for reactivation: a web of Iran-backed sleeper cells, proxy militias, and criminal mercenary networks already embedded inside North America — networks that have demonstrated the operational capacity to commit murder on American and Canadian soil.
Donald Trump tonight launched an extraordinary attack on Sir Keir Starmer, saying: ‘This is not Winston Churchill we are dealing with.’
The US President delivered a withering verdict on the Prime Minister as he continued to fume at Sir Keir for failing to back US and Israeli strikes on Iran.
In comments that immediately plunged the so-called ‘special relationship’ into an unprecedented crisis, Mr Trump declared that he was ‘not happy’ with the PM and accused him of being ‘very, very uncooperative’.
Spain is on the outs …
🚨 HOLY CRAP! President Trump is now CUTTING OFF all trade with Spain after their leftist PM said to not use bases in their country to strike Iran
“Spain has absolutely nothing we need…we’re gonna cut off ALL TRADE with Spain. We don’t want ANYTHING to do with Spain.”

President Donald Trump for the first time acknowledged a personal dimension to his decision to attack Iran, citing the country’s efforts to assassinate him in 2024 as a factor in ordering the joint U.S.-Israeli operation that killed Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
“I got him before he got me,” Trump said in an interview on Sunday night with ABC News. “I got him first.”
Every prime minister is called upon, at one point or another, to comment on the actions of an American president. For Mark Carney, still less than a year on the job, there have already been several such moments.
The latest moment of necessity arrived this past weekend, when the United States and Israel launched new attacks on Iran.
The response, a six-paragraph statement in the names of Carney and Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand, has raised questions with which the prime minister may have to wrestle.
Oh yes CBC Carney was far too harsh on the murderous Mullah regime!
Iran will wage retaliatory war until the last cruise and ballistic missile is expended, the last Shahab, Fattah, Sejjil, Soumar. The last explosive-packed suicide drone. The last Revolutionary Guard soldier still standing. The last slain protester.
And if Iran had a nuclear bomb, there’s little reason to believe that, facing annihilation of the theocratic regime, it wouldn’t have pushed that launch button as well.
As smoke lies over Minab, Iran, a girls’ school lies shattered; bodies line the pavement. Before the dust settles, familiar voices declare guilt: America and Israel did it. Case closed.
The Shajareh Tayyebeh girls’ elementary school in Minab was hit by a direct strike during ongoing military exchanges. Iranian officials announced a rising death toll, with numbers climbing past 140 and up to 165 lives lost. Health ministry figures quickly spread across global platforms. Tehran blamed joint U.S. and Israeli operations within hours.
Europe knew this may be coming. For weeks, leaders and policy makers watched the US military build-up in the Middle East. They heard the threats of the Trump administration to Tehran: Give up all nuclear aspirations – or else!
But since the US-Israeli attack started on Iran three days ago, this continent has looked at best uncoordinated, if not fractured and decidedly without leverage, caught up in the maelstrom of events.
Each European country is understandably angsting about its citizens in the region – whether and how they may need to evacuate what would be tens of thousands of people in total.
They fear the Muslims they have allowed to settle.
