The JC reports on something chilling:
Iran has been “mapping” the Jewish diaspora for an assassination campaign that will be triggered if Israel attacks its nuclear facilities, a Jewish woman who met Ayatollah Khamenei has told the JC.
The chilling plan, disclosed at a high-level meeting in Tehran, involved identifying key Jewish figures and determining “how to strike and where”.
The hit squads would be deployed if Israel ever attacked Iran, she was told, so “the diaspora would have a very nasty surprise”.
The revenge plot was revealed to Catherine Perez-Shakdam, one of the few Westerners to be granted an audience with Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

It was at a closed event he organised in Iran that she said was told of the plan “to identify all the prominent NGOs run by Jews, who was doing what in each business sector, the important rabbis. They wanted to figure out their influence and where they lived with their families in order to target them.” Talebzadeh, she said, was explicit that the mapping was preparation for murder to make “the diaspora pay a price”.
This actually fits my theory that Iran was likely behind the antisemitic Mapping Project – promoted by many anti-Israel and BDS organizations. While those behind the project claimed they “wanted to develop a deeper understanding of local institutional support for the colonization of Palestine and harms that we see as linked, such as policing, US imperialism, and displacement/ethnic cleansing” and “in order to see where our struggles intersect and to strategically grow our local organizing capacities”, it seems to me that another reason (or perhaps the main one) was to map us for this assassination campaign.
Not only that, but this latest news seems to support my theory that Iran are perhaps behind Project Nemesis, which identifies Zionist Jews, including yours truly. As I wrote at the time:
By compiling this “hitlist” of Jews on their website, Project Nemesis is in essence painting a target on our backs among their army of rabid antisemites.
