🚨 One of Iraq’s most prolific and high-profile Shia terrorist has reportedly arrived in Tehran.

Abu Azrael, IRGC-linked militia commander and loyalist to Khamenei and the Islamic Republic, is now in Tehran coordinating with the regime against Iranian unrest and preparing for potential U.S. ground deployment.

A former fighter against U.S. forces in 2003, he later rose through Iran-backed militias operating in Iraq and Syria.

Famous for videos showing him using swords, axes, and fire on captives. He bragged about “spit-roasting” ISIS fighters, burning bodies, slicing charred corpses “like shawarma,” and his motto “Illa tahin” (“I’ll grind you to dust” / “nothing but flour”). Even his own militia (Kataib al-Imam Ali) disavowed him at one point over a video of him burning a dead fighter.
