Assassination

Top Iranian Nuclear Scientist Assassinated, State Media Report

A top Iranian scientist believed to be responsible for developing the country's military nuclear program has been killed, Iranian state television said Friday.

Mohsen Fakhrizadeh was killed while in a car just outside the capital of Tehran by attackers using explosives and machine guns, the state media said, describing the assailants as "armed terrorist elements ..."

So, who had him killed? Israel? Trump? Israel and Trump? Don't forget that Trump had another Iranian assassinated - major general Qasem Soleimani. And Israel is purported to have killed a number of Iranian scientists in the past.

According to CNBC: The Pentagon, Department of State and the National Security Council declined to comment. President Donald Trump did, however, retweet a news article and commentary about Fakhrizadeh’s death.

This will, of course, make it harder for Biden to revive a nuclear accord with Iran in the future. From Trump's pov, it's all good.
