Zyani had been paying the cartel to smuggle two of the missiles out of the Middle East by way of Spain to be used in attacks on the United States. The Mexican special forces unit Los Vaqueros was also looped into the operation after Zyani was found to be working with the Las Almas Cartel. Seeing the opportunity to eliminate the missiles, protect his reputation, and neutralize Zyani all at once, Shepherd assigned Task Force 141 to cooperate with Shadow Company in the hunt for Zyani.


Laswell acquiesced to her superior officer's order, but began digging into Department of Defense files under the general's nose to learn more about the background of the missiles. Laswell suggested that quickly analyzing the missile's systems could determine how it fell into Zyani's hands, but Shepherd ordered the missile's immediate destruction, arguing it was too dangerous to risk even the smallest chance of the enemy reclaiming it. Shepherd and Agent Laswell were overseeing the mission from his office in Washington, D.C. In October 2022, Task Force 141 stumbled across one of the stolen American missiles during a mission to capture Zyani in a warehouse near Al Mazrah held by Al-Qatala. However, Shepherd knew only that the missiles had been taken, not by whom, and over the following months he attempted to bury all documentation of his illicit activities while having Shadow Company quietly search for the missiles. The Russians then gave them to Major Hassan Zyani, Ghorbrani's second-in-command, who was coordinating with Al-Qatala to carry out a revenge plot against the United States. In August 2022, a Shadow Company convoy transporting a shipment of three missiles was ambushed by Russian PMC Konni, who seized the missiles under the employment of Russian Ultranationalists. While Shepherd established this operation with good intentions, it was nonetheless illegal, and proved to have dire consequences. Meanwhile, Shepherd had been working with Shadow Company to conduct an off-the-books operation smuggling American weapons to allies in the Middle East to aid them against the Russians. Shepherd then ordered Graves to carry out a missile strike, which killed Ghorbrani and the Russians.

Ghost scouted the meeting and confirmed Ghorbrani's presence. Ghorbrani had traveled to a site outside Al Mazrah in the United Republic of Adal to purchase weapons from the Russian military. The operation was jointly carried out by Task Force 141 and the PMC Shadow Company, which was led by Commander Phillip Graves. Shepherd oversaw the assassination of General Ghorbrani, the commander of the Iranian Quds Force, on July 15, 2022.
