W. Mossad is so embedded inside Iran that we had to ask them for help to kill al-Qaeda members being protected by Iran.

Specifically Abu Mohammed al-Masri, the deputy emir of al qaeda, was killed by Israel in Iran in 2020 at the US’s request. The current emir of al qaeda allegedly also resides in Iran

Not exactly, Al qaeda and Iran seem to be pretty chummy since 2015. Of course Hamas is also Sunni

Yeah isis seems more purist somehow about anti shiaism. AQ and Iran historically bonded over their anti Saudi orientation although I’m not sure what Iran is getting out of their relationship with AQ these days

they just switched regions because the mid-east became too crowded and competitive.
