Seems likely although Iran would say that anyway.

Well it wasn't a US drone strike as with the Iranian general in Iraq, so we're off the hook...this time. Four other Iranian nuclear scientist have also been assassinated. that adds up to a total 375 virgins(72 per) in paradise for their martyrdom!

No doubt Iran will blame Israel for this.
Who did I don't know-There are a few countries and groups who could have done it. Markus |

Only thing that matters is whether it was done too late or just in time.

And another thing.
What will Iran do as revenge ? If Israel is behind, will they send rockets towards Israel? I don't think so. I think they will attack Israel by proxy. Markus |

Well it makes good headlines and I'm sure thats how Iran would love for us and the Muslim world to see it. Especially with Israel's recent alliances with certain Suuni kingdoms.
However, maybe something else is going on that has been in the works now for decades. In 2001 the United States was attacked by terrorists in September. Interestingly, shortly afterwards in 2002 a group called the Mujahedin-e-Khalq said it had uncovered Iranian nuclear facilities at Natanz. Being after 911 the thought probably scared the hell out of western governments that further attacks could be carried out with nuclear weapons. It may have been the real reason coalition force went into Iraq the next year. Why Iraq and not Iran? The odds of successfully carrying out such an attack on Iran would most likely have been insurmountable and probably still is. In 2012 President Obama removed Mujahedin-e-Khalq from terrorist list. In 2016 Secretary of State John Kerry thanks the government and NATO member of Albania for resettling members of the Iranian opposition group Mujahedin e Khalq. Today reports that Trump is unstable and wants war because he lost an election is for the consumption of the village idiots of the world and was in my honest opinion just very good propaganda. Which I'm sure has once again placed Iranian officials on high alert. Even so a group of rebels probably backed by NATO and the Saudis were still able to attack and kill one Iran's leading scientists. The Ayatollah's must be sharting twinkies about now.

What about Turkey ?
They are Iran's closes allied. I guess they will stay calm behind the political scene. Markus |

Good point, but remember it was just a few days ago that Trump asked his military advisors what his options were

If anything is going to happen I'd expect it to be over the forthcoming holiday period for maximum effect.
I would also reckon Israel would welcome the opportunity to retaliate should they be the target.

There is a regime change in Washington. Israel acted while it still could without the new big white house boss becoming angry.
Or it was the little boy, to say Sayonara to his Iranian buddies while the new big white house boss has not yet arrived. Iran hopes that under Biden sanctions will get lifted and their nuclear porgram is given more room to breath again. They will not directly retaliate against Israel, so to not anger the new big white house boss.

Most likely whoever it was that attacked Fakhrizadeh in Iran was a resistance group or an affiliation with said group funded and backed by NATO. My guess https://english.mojahedin.org/i/prim...anization-iran Who is Biden going to make a deal with anyway? Not even Europe seems to be in a rush until at least the Iranian elections in June, IF there is an election. Quote:

According to Swedish news Iran will revenge this killing.
I'm not an expert so how, when and where I can't say. I have the same standpoint as Skybird a direct attack on Israel will not happen. Markus |

Taking out 5 targets simultaneously and coordinating the assassinations accordingly is more than the usual resistance groups are capable to acchieve, in intel and in coordination. It was Israel, or the US. Probably Israel. The US uses drones, like Russia uses poison and Israel uses shooting assassinations or bombs. Leaving a signature, is wanted, because it sends a message. Call it non-verbal communicating.
