"..They retracted all of their mine sweeper ships from the region in January this year, to be decommissioned, without having replacements. They got rid of all the Iran-experts around the same time.

I'm having trouble believing this is all incompetence. And on the other hand, we can all see how incompetent this administration is. It's just that, it's as if they are consciously setting themselves up for failure.."

"..The man who did not care about the war in Ukraine because this was Europe's war, now wants Europe to join the war he started with Iran, while he is lifting sanctions on Russia, so Putin can scale up the Ukraine war.

 Kash Patel gutted FBI counterintelligence team tasked with tracking Iranian threats days before US strikes, sources say


The New York Sun first reported that employees from the CI-12 unit had been targeted in last week’s firings.

Iranian threats
In Trump’s first term, CI-12 was instrumental in tracking potential threats from the Iranian regime in retaliation for the 2020 drone strike that killed Gen. Qasem Soleimani, then-leader of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Quds Force.

They were ousted for a simple reason: Each was involved in the investigation of President Donald Trump’s alleged retention of classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate.

As a result, Patel hamstrung the Washington, DC-based FBI counterintelligence unit, known as CI-12, which handles cases ranging from mishandling of classified documents to tracking foreign spies operating on US soil.

The dismissals have added to concern inside the Justice Department and FBI that counterterrorism and intelligence investigations in the wake of the military operation in Iran could be hampered by a mass exodus of national security experts, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter.

And like the CI-12 unit, several senior officials were ousted or reassigned because of their involvement in Trump-related investigations, sources say. The removals have cost the Justice Department and FBI decades of combined experience in identifying the types of threats that sources say could appear in the wake of Operation Epic Fury.
