Israeli/American Strike on Iran? Now With Murdered Scientist

[Nakena]

Israel via MEK proxy.

[Old Tanokiana]

They're horrible at keeping their words of Mutually assured destruction, however they are good puppet masters

(Also the quote system is having a stronk)

[Silvedania]

I mean, Japan brought that on itself, or rather, the Japanese government brought it on its people.

They did bomb the US first, but that was no reason for the US to harm that many civilians when bombing those cities

Okay that's enough derailing into how Hiroshima and Nagasaki were war crimes. Back to the topic, does Iran have the balls to possibly tell it's lackeys in Syria and Lebanon to commit a Haram?[/quote]
what does that mean

Of course they do. This is just going to destabilise the region and whoever did this wants to destabilise the region.

Does Iran have the balls to tell whatever militant organisation they fund to go engage in battle with Israelis via Skirmishes

Iran places their suspicion on Israel which I’m not surprised by. If Islamic terrorism is a so called problem so is any religious terorism. It’s not the religion’s fault it’s a bad apple that ruins it for the bunch. If Israel really did kill that guy, then they have to own up to it...

[Nakena]

Seems like a well-executed assassination. Can't say I'm too sad that the "father" of the Iranian nuclear program was executed.

I wonder if this was agreed on during the Pompeo-Bibi-MBS meeting.

No. This has been planned for months. The hit was likely executed by People's Mujahedin (Mujahedin-e-Khalq, MEK) operatives who still operate underground, with israeli training, funding, expertise and possibly weaponry.

Mujahedin-e-Khalq have a history working as proxy in the Islamic Republic and they have the local cladestine structures and manpower.

If this was Mossad, I expect it to be in cooperation with the US. And I wouldn't be surprised if Saudi Arabia supported it as well.

[Jerzylvania]

I agree. And there's a high probability of some form of retaliatory action by Iran. Could be an assassination, could be an attack. Could be both.

Don't tell me. This time they're gonna launch ballistic missiles at Israel and the US bases in Iraq and the Gulf states.

Maybe, but that didn't stop this latest assassination from occurring.

I'd be looking for something more of a personal nature this time around, especially with a new US President coming in. Why fuck that relationship up before it gets off the ground.

This shit happened on the Trump/Pompeo/Netanyahu watch.

Good point. Mossad probably would cover it tracks by using proxies.

Makes sense.

[Thermodolia]

US or Israel? Or both together? I suppose it doesn't matter.

I can't wait to see all the jingoistic justifications for the murder of a civilian. That it's a totally different thing than if an Iranian assassin took out Elon Musk.

It’s most likely Mossad and GIP, which is the KSA intelligence agency.

KSA and Israel have been getting pretty fucking close lately in regards to a possible invasion of iran

[Witiland]

Unfortunately there are lots of people who are happy hearing upon these news (or at least relived). However how the tables were to change if the same thing was to happen to a high ranking official in the USA. There are always gonna be people who are happy about this or sad. I don't care how ruthless this guy was, he's human and if he was killed by religious intolerance then that's even worse. Many people I know paint Israel as innocent and all goody two shoes, but once you dig deeper, Israel did a lot of shady things in the past.

Iranian anti-regime media is having a Field day right now.

It was probably agreed upon during the meeting between the Israeli and Saudi defense ministers

This wasn't because of religious intolerance... Assuming Israel (and likely/possibly the US and Saudi Arabia are involved) did this, the attack was geopolitical, not religious, in nature.

As an Iranian i will rest assure you he was not civilian. This would be more on par with someone taking out a senior scientist from the Manhattan Project.

Or since it's against international agreements, it would be like a designer of Germany's 1930s defence industry being assassinated.

[Thermodolia]

I fear this will trace back to the US and destablize things for awhile.

I agree. And there's a high probability of some form of retaliatory action by Iran. Could be an assassination, could be an attack. Could be both.

It won’t be coming back to us but to either Israel or KSA

I'd guess it's 'nuclear weapons owned by a rogue state' intolerance rather than religious intolerance. He was a weapons scientist not an imam.

Agreements the US has violated and shown have no meaning.

Mohsen Fakhrizadeh-Mahabadi was an officer in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, a branch of Iran's Armed Forces.

I won't celebrate his death but I won't have one bit of sympathy for a man that most probably stands by and supports the country that i live in. These people have hands drenched with the blood of the innocence. They do not deserve anything but a slight shrug upon the news of their death. I know a lot of people will support Israel in iran and that just shows how our own government treats us and how much we trust them.

It definitely was Mossad but most likely through their own guys already in Iran or with KSA. The US isn’t involved

The EU still takes it seriously IIRC, and Trump walking off isn't a licence to make nuclear weapons.

Bad parallel. Today's the 4th Friday of November. Important gov't official with his bodyguards is ambushed, shot to pieces while traveling in his car. He dies on the way or on arrival at the hospital.

What, no lone gunman?
