In a further disturbing development for international relations and a reminder of the UK’s status as an international security partner, an Iran-backed mercenary alleged to have a list of US citizens as targets has been arrested in London.
He’s believed to have been trained to attack businesspeople in business settings, using CCTV footage, front desk logs, and tipoffs from office staff to compile lists. He’s known to have sniper training, and is an adversary of the US in his own right.
His development as a State-backed assassin refers back to America’s presence in London, both diplomatically and according to lines of trade established by political agreement. It’s believed the Supreme Leader has invested in his activity, and has sought to use it practically to further his own aims.
