Since there is a lot of talk about the Quds Force with the alleged Iranian assassination plot in the US that happened recently.

Iranians charged in U.S. over assassination plot


U.S. authorities said they had broken up a plot by two men linked to Iran's security agencies to assassinate Saudi Ambassador Adel al-Jubeir. One was arrested last month while the other was believed to be in Iran.

Iran denied the charges. But President Barack Obama called the plot a "flagrant violation of U.S. and international law" and Saudi Arabia said it was "despicable."



I thought now is the best time to bump this thread, and give people an idea of what this group is capable of.

US links Iran to attack in Iraq


Gen Bergner said Mr Dakdouk had told his US interrogators that the Karbala attackers "could not have conducted this complex operation without the support and direction of the Quds force".

Five Americans were killed in the Karbala assault, a bold and sophisticated assault in which up to a dozen gunmen posed as a US security team to gain access to the government compound.


It looks like this raid was indeed conducted by the Iranian Quds Force exclusively, and not by proxies which seemed to be the standard operating procedure in Iraq at the time. They are definitely no slouches.
