Are Iranian 'sleeper cells' a threat to Canadians? Here’s what intelligence experts say

... Anxiety around sleeper cells tends to resurface whenever tensions escalate between the U.S. and Iran. But one Canadian security expert says their deployment is not the modus operandi of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) in Canada ... [diirector of the national security program at the University of Ottawa's Professional Development Institute Dan] Stanton, who worked with the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) for more than 30 years, says the actual threat lies in Tehran's use of local criminal networks for targeted intimidation and violence.

"They don't use sleeper cells in that sense of deep cover agents. They use what we would call criminal proxies. These are people that would do surveillance, harass people or try to kill people."

... Thomas Juneau, who teaches at the University of Ottawa’s Graduate School of Public and International Affairs, says the IRGC targets the families of Iranian dissidents as a way to punish or silence them. "There have been multiple documented cases … parents, siblings, close friends, other family members who are still in Iran who will be aggressively interrogated by intelligence services," said Juneau.

"And in more extreme cases, [they] will be physically beaten, tortured or [suffer] other kinds of negative consequences, such as financial assets frozen, careers suspended, jobs lost."

Given the massive US-Israeli intelligence failures unfolding before our eyes for a few weeks now, I'd start reassesing the reliance on their intelligence for designations and other purposes. Their assesments might be .. gasp.. self-interested .. and even outright wrong. Interests that might not align with ours.
