I don't believe the Iranians will do much of anything. They don't want to screw the pooch on any new deal with Biden. Plus, Israel would bury them.

I read a good article about this on Sunday.  However, the article didn't say how the 12 assault members got away?

I am kind of surprised, if this is the Mossad, that they are able to operate as well as they reportedly have been with all the sabotage over the summer and last year or two, inside Iran. This has to be one of the most authoritarian governments on Earth and they have to be aware what's going on. So how are they able to operate inside the country so effectively? There's a real story here to be told someday.  :coolsmiley:

Just for your amusement, can't vouch for the truth

https://www.rt.com/news/508170-iran-assassination-remote-gun/

QuoteIran's top scientist was assassinated with a remote-controlled machine gun from 150 meters away, semi-official news agency Fars said, contradicting previous detailed reports of a 12-person commando team doing the killing.

^If that is true I'm not surprised.  Iran has (indirectly) been giving them a hard time recently.

And another one of their top military people was killed in an airstrike over the weekend near the border with Iraq. Not sure who did the airstrike.

I guess in another 60 or 70 years you might find out if things get declassified! ::)

Anything else is speculation.

I wish you a long and healthy life! :)  ;D
