Pompeo: Iran is now world headquarters for Al-Qaida

FOX News senior foreign affairs correspondent Greg Palkot reports on the latest.

Iran has reportedly released a chilling propaganda video depicting a fake attack by its Republican Guard blowing up the US Capitol.

The footage showing the seat of American democracy engulfed in flames was leaked Sunday on state-controlled TV — before Ayatollah Ali Khamenei gave a speech praising the elite unit, according to the Washington Free Beacon.

“The Americans have been for years deeply saddened by the Islamic republic’s influence, and they were angry with General Soleimani for this reason and martyred him for this reason,” Khamenei said.

The top Republican Guard commander was killed in a US drone strike in Baghdad during the Trump administration on Jan. 3, 2020.

The US withdrew from the Obama-era deal, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, or JCPOA, under President Donald Trump.

Under the deal, Iran received economic benefits in exchange for cutting back on its nuclear program. Since the US withdrawal from the deal, Iran has begun enriching uranium at ever higher levels.
