Israeli/American Strike on Iran? Now With Murdered Scientist

[Romextly]

You know he already gave the order to begin the process of transitioning to Biden like 3 days ago right?

After he whined for days and tryed to subvert democracy.

Dont act like doing the utter bare minimum for looseing an election is now somehow a grand noble act.

He whined. Yes. He's a sore loser? Yes. But he never tried to subvert democracy. He went to a legal, let me say it again, LEGAL route to formally complaint. Did he call for people to revolt? No. It's a fucking noble act, he's just showing up the media from destroying their fantasy of dragging Trump with soldiers.

Frankly, Malaysia should deport you. To Hong Kong. Why should they tolerate someone who probably isn't even a citizen, wishing harm on China?

Shit like this -- wishing for war between two other countries -- is only really tolerated in the US. Anywhere else it's correctly seen as a sociopathic attitude which should be investigated, treated if possible or punished if not.

That's a problem then. Wishing for unlimited numbers of deaths ("CCP delenda est", requires millions at least) just to make a point you personally believe very strongly in, is the thinking of a terrorist.

You have become more radicalized, notably since the US election. Clearly it was very disappointing to you ... oddly more than most actually-American posters ... but you will get over it. You've got a whole life to make your mark on society, so don't do anything desperate OK?

Bruh. Really now?

Israel has been stepping up its attacks on Syria and Palestine and we all know they are not afraid to use their military.

Israel not being afraid to use military force to defend its interests does not equate to Israel being governed by idiots (though some Israelis might disagree with me there).

Harsh, disproportionate responses to threats are a deliberate part of Israel's strategy. They don't do the disproportionate response thing for the shits and giggles. Nor would they strike Iran for shits and giggles. For now, no strike has happened, though it wouldn't be absurd to think of it happening, seeing Iran is increasing its stockpiles of enriched uranium. The title is, however, msisleading. At least add a "possible" on it?

Also, nothing in the article suggests that the Israelis are going to be involved in the strikes, it just says that the Israelis are preparing for a possible American strike. So you might want to remove "Israeli" from the title, as well.

Goodness, why is clickbaiting a thing?

Iran's top nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh assassinated near Tehran | https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-55105934

Iran's most senior nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh has been assassinated near the capital Tehran, the country's defence ministry has confirmed. Fakhrizadeh died in hospital after an attack in Absard, in Damavand county. Iran's Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, has condemned the killing "as an act of state terror". Western intelligence agencies view Fakhrizadeh as being behind Iran's secret nuclear weapons programme. He was reportedly described as the "father of the Iranian bomb" by diplomats. News of the killing comes amid fresh concern about the increased amount of enriched uranium that Iran is producing. Enriched uranium is a vital component for both civil nuclear power generation and military nuclear weapons.

Iran insists its nuclear programme is exclusively for peaceful purposes. Between 2010 and 2012, four Iranian nuclear scientists were assassinated and Iran has accused Israel of complicity in the killings. Fakhrizadeh's name was specifically mentioned in Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu's presentation about Iran's nuclear programme in May 2018.

In a statement on Friday, Iran's defence ministry said: "Armed terrorists targeted a vehicle carrying Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, head of the ministry's research and innovation organisation. "After a clash between the terrorists and his bodyguards, Mr Fakhrizadeh was severely injured and rushed to hospital. Unfortunately, the medical team's efforts to save him were unsuccessful and minutes ago he passed away." Iranian media reports said the attackers opened fire on the scientist in his car.

A scientist who was helping Iran (one of the biggest state sponsors of terrorism and a theocratic dictatorship that regularly murders and tortures political dissidents) procure nuclear weapons has tragically died in an alleged "terrorist attack". This is a big blow to Iran and very significant is that it happened inside Iran, not far from the capital of Tehran. I read that Iran is blaming Israel already, but really I would say like 90% of the Iranian population could be suspect since the regime is so hated. It has been a bad year for Iran in terms of assassinations. First Qassem Soleimani in January, and also one of their al-Qaeda assets was killed earlier this month. Now this guy? Must be really hard for them.

Does Iran really support Al-Qaeda, because that makes 0 sense to me. In any case, I’d bet (if I were a betting person) it was Israel or my country.

Two strongest strategists are gone.

so uh guys about this thing not happening, it did.

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.

Mohsen Fakhrizadeh an Iranian scientist working on the Iranian nuclear program was shot dead a few hours ago. Iranian military blames Israel.

FYI this kind of thing has happened before. We won't know exactly what the future brings until we see what the regime does or doesn't do in retaliation.

[Old Tanokiana]

They weren't kidding when they said 2020 sucked for everyone.

[Greed and Death]

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

Yes, they do. Bin Laden even described Iran as "AQ's main artery for funds, personnel, communication & hostages in the region". Senior AQ leadership fled to Iran after US invasion of Afghanistan.

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.

I wonder how the staff at DARPA would feel about arguments that scientists working on military technology are legitimate targets for assassination.

Thank you for bringing these posts to my attention, Nak. I already have him on ignore because of shit like this. For the record, I'm not "wishing for unlimited numbers of deaths", and I'm Malaysian born in HK and bred there. My parents are Malaysian born and bred. My grandparents were either pauper migrants from China (legal, obviously) with literally nothing but the clothes on their backs, or they were born in what is now Malaysia. At least one of my grandparents was orphaned from an early age and had to bust his ass off doing odd jobs just to feed himself.

Mossad has had a history of POSSIBLY doing things like this in the past. For example, the Egyptian scientist Yahya El Mashad, who worked for the Iraqi nuclear program, headed the Iraqi nuclear program like this Iranian scientist headed the Iranian nuclear program. Despite the fact that I am very supportive of Israel, I do not condone assassinations.

It's January all over again reeee

Every time yall do this stuff you're just fueling the regime's propoganda. They use this stuff with such efficiency tomorrow his face will be everywhere.

Aye, it's been a bad year for Iran concerning assassinations. They lost Soleimani and now this guy. Both losses must've stung.

I do wonder if Pompeo, MBS and Bibi agreed to such an assassination during their secret meeting.

Doing the utter bare minimum is not a noble act. Presdent's with R and D's at the end of there name transitioned peacefully for many years before Trump.

Now that after he was done being a spoiled whiney baby bitch, you now expect me to give him a blow job for doing something everyone else did.

Did you give Obama a metal for accepting that Hillary lost back in 2016? Did you see him throw bullshit lawsuits with no evidence? Did he tweet out that Hillary won this election by a lot?

No? You want to know why he didn't? He has something Trump doesn't have. Gracefulness and a respect of democracy.

Oh and of course you had to throw in that npc "media bad" line at the end didn't you? Like making fun of news networks is now also a great thing to do.
