Terrorist regime smuggles drugs to Canda

by Simorgh5555 on

It gets worse and worse. The Terror regime starts off with trafficing women as prostitutes to Arab states of the Persian Gulf. Then shipments of weapons are foudn in Nigeria, Senegal, Turkey and Mauritius. Now drugs. It gets dirtier and dirtier as the regime steeps to the ultimate low. It hangs alleged drug traffickers and then exports them to Canada.

throw them in jail

by azadi5 on

Definitely the two suckers who got busted here will end up in jail. I don't want to defend the terrorist regime of Iran, but there is no evidence of this shipment having something to do with them. It just says it originated from there but could be just drug dealers shipping their stuff to Canada. I guess there are a lot of taryakis in Vancouver area :)
