Israeli/American Strike on Iran? Now With Murdered Scientist

[Pope Saint Peter the Apostle]

New details on the assassination (from @BarakRavid on Twitter): "Amazing new details of the Fakhrizadeh assassination emerge in the Iranian press: IRGC affiliated Fars news reports the assassination was done using an automatic machine gun operated with a remote control and not with gunmen who were on the ground. According to the report Fakhrizadeh and his wife were on their way to spend the weekend at their house in a Tehran suburb. There were three security cars with them and at a certain point the leading car left the motorcade to do a preliminary security check of the house. Right after the car at the front of the motorcade left shots were fired on Fakhrizadeh’s car and it stopped. Fakhrizadeh stepped out of the car thinking his car hit an object on the road or there was a problem with the engine. At that point shots were fired again from a Nisan pickup truck which stopped 150 meters from Fakhrizadeh’s car. The shots were fired from an automatic machine gun which was mounted on the pickup truck and operated by remote control. Fakhrizadeh was hit by three bullets – one hit him in the spine. Seconds later the Nisan pickup truck exploded in what looks like a self destruct mechanism. According to Fars news Iranian security forces identified the owner of the pickup truck who left Iran on October 29th. Fars reported the assassination operation lasted only three minutes and was all done by remote control with no gunmen on the ground."

Okay, anyone who doesn’t think it was Israel by now needs a reality check.

I think it's fair to assume that Israel was involved. But I would note that this is the story according to the Iranian press (Fars News Agency, to be precise), and it wouldn't be a first time if the story was inaccurate.

Fair point. I trust BBC and Aljazeera the most.

Why?!

After conducting reaserch on their claims and seeing multiple searches, I see that CNN cuts out facts and rounds them into what they want. And they also ignor facts as well

Al Jazeera is reliable, although sometimes a bit biased (especially its Arabic-language reporting).

I don’t watch their Arabic program much (mostly ‘cuz the only Arabic I can hold a convo for any time in is Egyptian Arabic not MSA). But I wouldn’t be at all surprised.

If thats actually true then this was a highly sophisticated James Bond tier operation by the Mossad, not even MEK suicide commandos.

[Major-Tom]

I've yet to see any concrete evidence that the assassination was likely ordered by either Israel or the US. At the very least, I don't feel the State Dpt here in the US was all too responsible. I think their priorities are buried elsewhere right now, Gen. Solemani was their small victory.

Maybe the Mossad helped, but again, too early to tell.

It probably was israel but iranian news is a joke.

Real shit but like, The IR's intelligence service is just sad. A high-ranking military officer who may or may not have had an important part in the regime's attempt to making a nuke and Israel literally has him assassinated right next to Tehran. And the funniest part is that the IR can do literally nothing about this. Frankly I just hope they don't hit some residential zone in their "Great Vengeance" thing like they did with the plane when Soleimani was executed.

Dude, that wasn’t the IR. Because of the US assassination, Iran was on high alert, and one lone soldier assumed the plane was a US military plane. I prayed for those who died in the crash for months, and also prayed for Allah to spare the Iranian people, but not to spare most of the “leadership” and “religious clerics”.

It was the IR, it just wasn't an intentional pre-planned attack. You may say that's pedantic but there's plenty of people who'd happily blame Washington for every death in Iraq/Afghanistan no matter how indirect it is.

True. Let me rephrase: “It wasn’t a decision made by higher up officials of the IR”. Better?

It was the IR, and it was both pre-planned and intentional. You talk like the IR (even before taking over) hasn't had a long-ass history of committing acts of terror it tries to pin (with various levels of success) on its enemies. They planned this, and they did it on purpose -there's literally no other reason for you to hit a plane with more than one missile if "That one missile" was human error. And I honestly simply hope they won't attempt to repeat the same fiasco, but on a target that simply won't raise as much international coverage as a plane full of people hoping to get the fuck away from the shithole they've made my country into.

I know he can’t see what I say, but by seeing your reply to what I said... he does see I really hate the IR government, right?

[Kexholm Karelia]

You mean trolls supporting the Islamic Republic? How exactly do you troll people after losing two figures of the IR establishment to assassination in a single year? "Ooohho you think you got us but actually we didn't want those two anyway, you zios have stupidly fallen into our long-game plan! Ha! Sucks to be you! We were one step ahead of you all the time lol lol lol..."

You wouldn't even imagine how cheeky these bastards are. It's been one day and he's turned into a war hero. His face every where in tv and news sites. Radio is going to be his exclusive biography Broadcast for the next week. Streets will be named after him. His family will be used to provoke a emotional response. Children in school have to write essays about him. He is a war hero now, a martyr backed by the state the mere mention of his name demands respect or you will get in trouble.

Not to mention the attacks being "proof" of western "savagery". Their "desperation" and their "conspiracy" to stop islam itself from "blossoming". This is not bad news for Iranian extremists on the contrary just makes them more powerful. Their actions more justified and also Makes an Iran deal more difficult. That's what Israel wants.

I’m surprised they let people have internet access and don’t block a political forum

.. when Soleimani was executed.

"Assassinated" or "murdered" would be the correct term. Execution is lawful killing after a fair trial.

Actually, why should I care? I'm opposed to execution: if you want to destroy its legitimacy by misusing the word, I should just let you.
