My article entited "U.S.-Iran Confrontation: Domestic Asymmetrical Ramifications" was published at the Terrorism Law Report. The TLR is published by the Center for Terrorism Law, St. Mary's University School of Law, San Antonio, Texas.
"It is widely suspected that Iran possesses agents, clandestine cells, and sleeper cells in the United States. It is also widely suspected that Lebanese Hezbollah possesses cells and sleeper cells in the United States. To what extent American intelligence and law enforcement agencies have identified all such individuals cannot be known. Americans only know those they have identified; they do not know which cells they have not identified. The Iranian government and Hezbollah suspect that some of their assets have been compromised, but could not be sure which ones have or have not been compromised. These cells and sleeper cells could be used to carry out terrorist activities if a war breaks out (or is about to break out) between the U.S. and Iran."

There Is Nothing New..
by darius on Mon Feb 27, 2012 06:16 PM PSTThere is nothing new in what he is claiming to be informative. It would be an insulting act if one assume that a FBI counter terrorism expert
is not aware or predict a retaliatory attack by any country that USA assumes as an enemy. There is no doubt that there are IRI agent within Iranian community or Iranian intelligent services try to find sources within US government for all kind of purposes. This is a customary and common action between all the nations. Embassies or diplomatic missions , private oragnization and firms usually are dens of spies .
What discredit the writer for me personally is that he is a person that support an organization or party that supported KHomeini and his ideas . These groups during the revolution promoted anti-americanism and accused the late king to be a " Nokar amrika" or American servant in the region.Now he as suporter of th egroup is trying to do the opposite.
In his previous writing , he beleives MKO should be given chance in a democratic process therefore he support MKO activites within US soil.
His articles are self-promoting ,sounds more commercial type rather than be sincere .
What I see most obvious and evident that his articles or writings seems to be targeted to catch attention of authorities or facilitate some sort of connection between himself and them whomever that might be FBI,DHS.
His responses to criticism such s ,Savaki, IRI agent, Shahi or asking people to confirm that they are not a terrorist is sign of
his frustration for not being taken serious, something strange and
unexpected from an academic.
Thank you Abarmard

Dear Albaloo
by Abarmard on Mon Feb 27, 2012 05:03 PM PSTDon't worry one bit. Please ignore those who are known to be unreasonable. I am glad that you are here at IC. Thanks for your valuable contributions.
What is your beaf with me?
by Albaloo on Mon Feb 27, 2012 03:43 PM PST"Joe L"; Kafar hame ra be kish khish pendarad
by Masoud Kazemzadeh on Mon Feb 27, 2012 12:18 PM PSTI condemn the personal attacks and character assassinations of me by "Joe L."
The person with the screen name "Joe L" is in all likelihood an agent of the IRI (Basij Cyber Army, Ministry of Intelligence, or IRGC or such similar entity). This person has been attacking opponents of the IRI in the posts. This person has posted only 2 items (News, Blog, or Article). In the very item, this agent posted a news item from a hard-line fundamentalist site inside Iran (called hamsadeh), which attacks opponent of the IRI.
//iranian.com/main/member/joe-l
//iranian.com/main/news/2011/03/22/aggressive-power-and-immoral-authority
This agent has made character assassinations of me in this blog.
The fact that this IRI agent has made several personal attacks and character assassinations of me, shows that my writings have harmed the fundamentalist terrorist regime. There is no honor higher for a pro-democracy activists than being attacked by the IRI agents. They show that what we do matters to the terrorist regime.
I am certain that the opponents of the fundamentalist terrorist regime on this site are smart enough to know who the supporters and/or agents of the IRI on this site are.
Best,
Masoud
There are sleeper cells in the U.S
by Albaloo on Mon Feb 27, 2012 11:41 AM PSTThere are sleeper cells in the U.S but they are occupied by the Mujahedin-e-Khalq.
Joe.L, Interesting observation. Although, I am not sure about the Homo part. I believe it was meant in humor.

My father is retired FBI
by Joe L. on Mon Feb 27, 2012 11:01 AM PSTMy father believes that the author is saying something from a point of sureness, that he must have some sort of understanding about being a terrorist. He said that he dealt with people like that.
Kazemzadeh should be the first target of investigation in coming monitoring the Iranian people's activities. He may have come clean or try to present facts to lose tracks, a technique used more than often among terrorists.
My father believes that either the person has homosexual tendencies or is a terrorist.
Hopefully another FBI is reading this and checking this guy out before it's too late.

A Great Article!
by G. Rahmanian on Sun Feb 26, 2012 07:49 PM PSTThe authoritarian regime in Tehran fearing its own imminent demise, is becoming increasingly more violent, thus acting even more frenziedly.
The recent acts of terrorism perpetrated by regime's agents in various countries punctuate its desperate attempts at provoking yet another war.
Regime's criminal acts such as its abuse of human rights, persecution, torture and execution in cold blood of Iranians at home and acts of terror involving Iranians living in exile and against foreign states must be exposed!
Thank you, Masoud Jaan!
My Analysis of the Used Car Salesman and the IRI Terrorism

Watch for used car salespeople
by Mohammad Ala on Sun Feb 26, 2012 01:59 PM PSTThere was very little discussions about used car salespeople in the article. Saint-Mary in Texas? One needs to be familiar with Texas to know what their laws mean!!
SK, this sort of articles are necessary to separate Iranians from Eye-ranians.As several comments mentioned, those who supported what they are criticizing must be ashamed.
Responses
by Masoud Kazemzadeh on Sun Feb 26, 2012 12:50 PM PSTRoozbeh jaan,
Thank you for your kind comments. As usual, I agree with you.
Ti jana ghorban,
Masoud
Dear AI,
Glad you liked it.
Best,
MK
Soosan khanoom,
As usual, you are barking up the wrong tree.
Masoud
Faramrz jaan,
I agree with several things you wrote. As the IRI’s plot to kill the Saudi ambassador to Washington, as well as the IRI’s terrorist plots in Georgia, India, and Thailand indicate, the IRI has an active policy of terrorist attacks.
The problem of "lone wolves" is also significant. There will probably be some of such terrorist attacks as well.
As usual, I enjoy reading your analysis and writings.
Best,
Masoud
Neocon propaganda
by robertborden54 on Sun Feb 26, 2012 10:13 AM PSTIf I read this without knowing the name of the author, I would immediately attribute it to some alarmist neocon activist bent on sending the FBI and the CIA after brown-skinned Muslims in the US and the US military into a war with Iran. There seems to be some doctrinal confusion within the top echelons of JM (assuming it has more than one echelon). Welcome to the Bush-Cheney world.
Thank You Masoud
by Faramarz on Sun Feb 26, 2012 09:34 AM PSTI don’t believe that the Regime has any operational capabilities in the west, but there is always a danger from the “Lone Wolves” that may decide that they need to do something by themselves. An open society is always vulnerable to that kind of threat as we have seen in recent times.
But the good news about the acts of terrorism by Iranians is that Iranians generally do not agree to anything. So if you get three Iranians into a room trying to plan something, you will never get them to agree on a plan and who should do what! Then there is the problem with what to wear, especially if women are involved! The other problem is which car to take, the Mercedes or the Beemer!
Finally, if the recent terrorism activities by the Regime in India, Georgia and Thailand are an indicator, the people that are sent from Iran to carry out these acts are not really that good either so you end up with people losing arms and legs when they try to follow the instructions on how to assemble the bombs.
Therefore, if I were in charge of the homeland security, I wouldn’t worry that much.
MK, you and every of us, Eye- Ranians, living on the U.S soil
by Soosan Khanoom on Sun Feb 26, 2012 08:40 AM PSTBetter get our asses ready to be kicked in the concentration camps soon regardless of our political views or the amount of tail shakings that we do for the Uncle Sam ... cause these dark eyes, dark hair, and olive skin are no longer going to be seen as beauty but rather a discrimination factor. We are not going to be hand picked but rather collectively be send for a long vacation time in the fun camp should any war get started.
Now be very proud of your article. I am sure you have made Uncle Sam so proud too
P.S ....I am shomali .... very fair skin .... an under cover Eye-ranian , perhaps ... lol
Great Article!
by Artificial Intelligence on Sun Feb 26, 2012 08:20 AM PSTThank you!
Funny,real funny
by darius on Sun Feb 26, 2012 08:13 AM PSTIt is funy that you two old pals(commies and JM,IRI) using the same old tactic during the revolution.
Those who opposed you, were Savakis and Taghooti ,now they are again Savakis and IRI agent and Shahis
After all these years of horror that you caused us, you guys are getting
more shameless and ready to do what it takes to get another fake regime in place liek yo udid 33 years ago.
Have you fogotten what you did , burning , destroying and calling Mar Bar America?
Why a man wit such a steem position in academic promote his own writing, does it even make sense?
A must read article from Masoud........
by Roozbeh_Gilani on Sun Feb 26, 2012 07:18 AM PSTThank you very much dear Masoud For the link to your excellent, well researched article, which already seems to have rattled a couple of Islamist cages , judging by the first two angry responses to your post here:).
Have you noticed how this site seem to be currently completely flushed with user ID's obviously on Islamic regime's payroll and residing in west, who constantly make Terroristic threats towards US citizens, specially those with Jewish heritage under the disguise of attacking aipac, israel, etc??
"Personal business must yield to collective interest."

by maziar 58 on Sat Feb 25, 2012 06:45 PM PSTThank you pendar for pointing
THAT out and also the opportunists in between.
I doubt we have Iranians of any creed and BALLS that carries suicide attacks any where on this planet except in Iran if that.

by پندارنیک on Sat Feb 25, 2012 05:19 PM PSTLet's just assume that you're correct..........it's a common practice between governments...I'm sure an educated person of your caliber doesn't need my reminder of the biggest Israeli cell in the US, called AIPAC.
