Coming Out of Lurking In the Shadows

Elsewhere, we read of the purported capture of someone that the Iranian Revolutionary Regime has apparently been looking for, even across the Atlantic (or Pacific) on the west coast of the United States. How is this significant; since the purported crimes occurred prior to the current holder of the office of the President of the United States?

From a propaganda standpoint, it is a tale only the Regime can tell, since the allegations are pointed towards potential exiles, definitively not operatives of an agency of the United States. That having been said, it is not past the possibilities of the antagonisms held by the Regime towards its own people, let alone the United States, something will be used to further the march to a determination of their destiny, however that may work out for them. This is definitely a 'wait an see' moment.
