Taliban in Iran
Iran’s Intelligence Minister: “ISIS has lost land, but has not surrendered its arms, and is looking for land in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Central Asia in order to, in this way, revive the idea of the Islamic caliphate”
But we know that Iran originally brought ISIS to Afghanistan as both Iran and Pakistan collaborate with ISIS in Afghanistan.

“Iran and Pakistan collaboration with ISIS”
Iranian Canadian human rights activist Shabnam Assadollahi told JerusalemOnline in an exclusive interview that Iranian businessmen are working with the Pakistani intelligence in order to bring ISIS terrorists from Syria to Iran. From Iran, they go to Pakistan and from there, they go to Afghanistan: “Pakistan is a double dealer. On the one hand, they are sending terrorists to Afghanistan and on the other hand, they are helping the EU and US gather intelligence. Innocent Balochi refugees are being abducted and murdered by the Taliban, Pakistani intelligence, and ISIS.”
According to a memo that reached JerusalemOnline, the MI has created four groups in Pakistani Balochistan to train the Pakistani Taliban and ISIS: “Multiple groups from Pakistan are funding ISIS and the Taliban who are both active in Afghanistan. ISIS and MI receive money from the drug trade, which they use to support ISIS and the Taliban. The government of Pakistan is directly using ISIS against the Balochi people.”
“Poor Balochi people that cannot afford food are reluctantly recruited as a means of personal survival to feed their families,” the report stresses. “The terrorists are given the task of killing local indigenous Balochi tribal members partly to remove any possible witnesses to uranium, gold, and silver mining involving Iranian and Chinese companies. Numerous Iranians are reported to be here also. They are mostly engaged in the drug trade and bring Balochis for recruitment incentives.”
Prominent human rights activist Blake Parker told JerusalemOnline in an exclusive interview: “ISIS and the Iran Quds Forces General Qassam Soleimani have a long history going back to 2003 and 2004 when ISIS was known as Al-Qaeda-Iraq. Soleimani delivered copper-tipped IEDs that killed or maimed many American servicemen, as well as military personnel and civilians from other western countries. Presently, Soleimani is in full tactical command of all ground troops in Iraq. He has a house in the Green Zone near the U.S. Embassy.”
Iranian human rights activist Shabnam Assadollahi stressed that it is the Iranian regime that is murdering all of the real activists against ISIS: “The Iranian regime is not getting rid of ISIS. They are destroying anything related to humanity and freedom in Iraq. I know various people from the Sunni and Shia groups in Baghdad. Every thing that you see is done by the Iranian regime, such as the bombing of Shia mosques. They want to create division between Sunnis and Shia so that they can establish their own Shia Empire in the Middle East. They are the source of terrorism and unrest in the Middle East.”
Parker noted that Soleimani brokered a deal with ISIS in Syria last year to assure ISIS that Iran would not bomb them in Syria: “Iran manufactures the TNT barrel bombs with or without CW in the IRGC Ops Center in Iraq and provides it to Assad for use against civilian and FSA targets. Since that time, the relationship between the Iranian regime and ISIS has expanded, specifically for terror engagement in Afghanistan.”
ISIS terrorists leave Syria and travel safely through Iran to Pakistan, “where they connect with the Taliban under Taliban Leader Nikk Mohammed, who is controlled by the Pakistani government’s ISI Major Abbas. They are then brought into Afghanistan without visas to prepare for assaults against NATO troops and any westerners, especially English speaking ones.”

“The state has always used religion as a tool for strengthening its illegal occupation of Balochistan,” the Balochi National Movement stated. “Extremist religious organizations are being fostered across Balochistan to throw Balochi cultural solidarity into disorder. The Balochi struggle for freedom is in fact a sectarian confrontation. The Balochi nation however identifies itself as secular and has always strived with a new zeal to sabotage the state’s machinations against its struggle for freedom.”
“Presently, the entire world is at war with the notorious ISIS operating in Iraq and Syria, whilst the Pakistani agencies are facilitating the ISIS supporters in Balochistan,” they noted. “ISIS has established its camps with the Pakistani state’s assistance in different areas of Balochistan. The National Party is backing the state for the sake of momentary gains in the state’s sponsorship of extremist organizations and is currently in conflict with the Balochi freedom movement. The National Party’s leadership is fermenting religious fundamentalism for petty gains and is assisting the state in replacing Balochi cultural tolerance with religious fanaticism. The advent of ISIS in Balochistan has added to their crimes.”
The effect of having ISIS operating in Pakistan and Afghanistan is devastating for the Balochi people. Ashraf Sherjan, the President of the Baloch Republican Party Germany Chapter, told JerusalemOnline in an exclusive interview: “ISIS helped by the ISI is crushing the Balochi National Movement. Since last year, they have started a new tactic of killing the Balochi Zikri community. The Zikri community is a different religious group which is also Balochi that has lived in Baluchistan for thousands of years. 20,000 Bugti tribes were forced to leave Balochistan. They left Balochistan and took refuge in Afghanistan. Now, the Pakistani ISI is entering Afghanistan and killing those Balochi refugees too. Pakistan has made Balochistan a hell for the Balochi people.”
“Unfortunately, in occupied Balochistan, no national or international media is allowed to go into Balochistan, especially in those affected towns, villages, and city’s,” Sherjan noted. “No human rights organizations are given permission to go. And that’s how the world is unaware of Balochistan issues. On May 14, 2015, a number of Pakistani troops backed by gun-ship helicopters launched intense operation in the areas of Mastung and Bolan. Hundreds of armed Pakistani troops with armored vehicles, equipped with heavy and modern weapons besieged Johan, Isplinji and the neighboring areas of Mastung. Forces broke into the houses, harassed and beat up civilians while abducting eight unarmed civilians. Meanwhile, about twelve gun-ship helicopters heavily bombarded Dilband, Narmuk, Gokhani and nearby areas of Bolan the whole day, in which three shepherds were killed, while a passenger vehicle was destroyed as it was hit by the indiscriminate shelling of gunship helicopters. The identity of killed and abducted men were could not be ascertained immediately as the affected areas were under siege until the filling of this report.”
“The people of occupied Balochistan want a free independent country,” Sherjan stressed. “The Balochis of Pakistan are struggling for their freedom. In retaliation, the Pakistani Army and ISIS are picking up Balochi civilians and keeping them in torture cells, killing them and throwing away their dead bodies. Since 2003 till today, more than 20,000 Balochis are missing from all over Balochistan. Most of them are normal civilians such as students, teachers, lawyers, doctors, engineers, and represent every walk of life.”
According to the Balochistan National Movement, Pakistan is deceiving the international community with its backing of ISIS, “just as it tricked the world in its support for the Taliban; the sole purpose of this misadventure is to crush the Balochi freedom movement. The global community, however, has failed to take a decisive stance against Pakistan’s double-dealing treacherous policy and this lack of action has been detrimental to the peace and harmony of Balochistan.”
“The Balochis have been fighting to be free from Pakistan and they have been oppressed for years,” Assadollahi told JerusalemOnline. However, Iranian Balochis are also suffering: “They are in a horrendous financial situation. I have been following what Iran has been doing. They are making the country to be divided in pieces. They oppress the Azeris, Balochis, Kurds. Arabs, and don’t give them anything. All of these people are tremendously oppressed and are living in a horrendous financial situation. There is a movement in Iran. They want to make Iran divided into many pieces. Iran is against the separatist movement in Balochistan and is supporting Pakistani government by bringing terrorists from Syria into Iran and then sending them to Pakistan and Afghanistan.”

Benjamin T. Decker : Iran Is More Deeply Tied to ISIS Than You Think
As the West continues to partner with Iran to “degrade and ultimately destroy” the Islamic State, it is worth remembering that one of Iran’s highest-ranking terrorists was instrumental in founding Al-Qaeda, and that the split between Shia and Sunni jihadis is murky at best. http://www.thetower.org/article/iran-is-more-deeply-tied-to-isis-than-you-think/
