So if Iran are going to revenge this killing some kind of attack may come from Syria.

Something else to consider. Apparently Iranian exiles are being sheltered and trained to fight the current Iranian regime in Europe by NATO who is supported by the European Union. Do you think maybe that some of the terror attacks in Europe are Iranian backed 'revenge attacks' because of the E.U.'s support of the M.E.K.?

This is new to me I didn't knew EU/NATO trained Iranian exiles. I know USA did it under Reagan.

It's a mess in this region. who's friends with who, who's enemy with who.....

In todays primetime news they had a longer issue about this crisis and this expert on Middle east said.

They fear that Trump may give order to a military strike on military and important buildings before he leave the White House or give Israel the go ahead to do the same.

Trump does seem to be a great distraction for you all over there. But I would have thought it should be common knowledge that Iranian exiles are being sheltered in Albania, a NATO member of which is supported by the European Union. The Mujahedeen Khalq the ones fighting the Ayatollahs and thought to be responsible for the death Mohsen Fakhrizadeh are among those exiles. What better way to get back at Europe to continue acts of terror against it?


Also keep in mind when your media says its a Trump war. It's actually all of us the E.U. Europe, NATO and U.S. involved.

I must admit Rockstar's claims on Albania caught me on the wrong foot. But indeed:

No Rockstar, this is not wellknown over here. I for exmaple heard it for the first time. Media presence of the story: nill.

cool Rule 1 in any ambuscade: don't Zig when U should Zag

Forget agents from wherever; this was death by remote control!
Quote:
Mohsen Fakhrizadeh was travelling in convoy north of Tehran on Friday when an object struck his car, sources said, forcing it to stop as he got out to investigate. A remote-controlled machine gun mounted in a Nissan parked beside the road then opened fire, Iranian media reported, fatally shooting the scientist before the gun self-destructed. Fakhrizadeh then got out of the car(zig??!!) to check what was happening before the remote-controlled gun opened fire, Fars said. The nuclear scientist was shot twice in the side and once in the spine, killing him. A bodyguard who tried to shield Fakhrizadeh's body was also shot and wounded before the parked car exploded...Investigators also claimed to have identified the owner of the Nissan, who they said left the country on Sunday, two days after the attack took place...Iran has been caught in a quandary over how to respond to the assassination, with some urging immediate action while others - including President Hassan Rouhnai - urged patience. Iran is thought to fear that any tit-for-tat attack could force incoming President Joe Biden to backtrack on a pledge to renegotiate a nuclear deal with the country that Trump tore up. For Iran, the deal would mean the lifting of $anction$ which have crippled the country's economy and led to domestic unrest.
Politic$ a$ u$ual imho https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...s-revenge.html

Media says therefore the masses thinks when Joe gets in office it equals the lifting of sanctions and a Western and Iranian bromance getting sloppy drunk and singing kumbaya together until the wee hours of the morning. However I still think the goal is regime change in Iran, forcing China's Silkroad to dead end and the west's control of both sides of the Straights of Hormuz. The way Carter saw it the middle east oil supply lines must be guarded, the flow uninterrupted and that's perfect because it gives our military industrial complex and U.S. largest employer a full time job.

This was just a warning shot from Israel to Iran to leave them alone.

These Jews are not going to sit around and wait for Iran to put a nuclear warhead on a missile programed to wipe out Israel.

Tit for tit and tat for tat will results in even more sabotaging of Iran's desires to wipe Israel off of the map.
