IRAN - Nuclear Scientist (Nuclear Weapons Program) killed near Tehran

This could change the whole game folks. Iran accusing Israel and President Trump. You know Iranians won't let it go.

The death of Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, who Iranian media said died in hospital after armed assassins gunned him down in his car, will also complicate any effort by U.S. President-elect Joe Biden to revive the detente of Barack Obama's presidency.

Iran pointed the finger at Israel, while implying the killing had the blessing of the departing Trump. Foreign Minister Javad Zarif wrote on Twitter of "serious indications of (an) Israeli role".

The military adviser to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei vowed to "strike as thunder at the killers of this oppressed martyr".

"In the last days of the political life of their ... ally (Trump), the Zionists seek to intensify pressure on Iran and create a full-blown war," Hossein Dehghan tweeted.

Pompeo visited Israel then Bibi and Pompeo met with Bin Salman , I'm sure there's nothing to see here.

We're about to get a global sterilization against Covid19. Nuclear medicine for all.

It's what Israel does..not saying they did here, but there is precedent..pretty sure they offed Gerald Bull.

Well....I mean I guess it wasn't a sword missle this time. Too obvious I suppose.

This tension between Israel and the US and Iran is worrying. Any conflict between them is going to get out of hand pretty quickly and if Pakistan were to get drawn in or china were to choose that time to start pushing in Asia. The world could get really nasty really quickly.

It's possible given the players involved.

Israel only got one? They are slipping a little...

Former CIA director John Brennan is not happy about this. Not happy at all...

Sounds like Brennan is the first one to panic. Wonder why.

Probably the side of keeping the peace, not something some people understand.

It's worth consideration, but I hear you.

Ha, the irony is thick.
But I suppose Iran is the paragon of peace in the M.E. huh?
Whether that's true or not, they (Iran) know the rules (there are none) of the sandbox when it comes to Israel.
So if they can't take the heat, stop stoking the fire.

It's what Israel does because no one has the balls to bring them to task task for it , extrajudicial killings shouldn't be tolerated by Democracies it's rogue Nation territory.

Yeah, let him keep leading the nuclear program so Iran can continue spreading threats and terrorism all over the world.

I agree Iran is problematic, the govt anyway. I think they are no different than the U.S. at times, who is in Saudi's corner? the biggest terror providing, rights denying developed nation out there.

Sure, only U.S. sanctioned terrorism, or assasinations are acceptable.

That "side of keeping the peace" doesn't exist.
