    I wonder if the British will call for boycotts of the country responsible? Or do they only do that when Russia is involved?

    The Iranians will be looking for people dressed in tennis gear and carrying rackets.

    Hopefully the security managed to get at least one or two of the assailants.

    And I don't need to wonder about the official Irish reaction as they are more concerned with Micheal Martin's statement clashing with the Late Late Toy Show. :rolleyes:

    Mossad?

    So Trump out, who has done much for Israel, Biden in. Now it seems the Israelis want to get as much done before the inauguration as they can.

    Or maybe it's just a random mugging...

    What makes you think Biden won't bend over backwards for Israel as every other President has?

    4 assailants murdered someone and you have to ask why I said that I hoped they caught at least some of them?


    That's a bit weird

    What security, did you see the photos, the Mercedes car he was a passenger in was riddled with bullets from the Mossad team.

    Pity they didn't just use their oul' Krav Maga I suppose


    A picture of a car with bullets does not mean that there are no security forces in Iran, or that this fella was not traveling with some security

    Especially seeing as president-in-waiting Kamla Harris is married to a Jewish man. With everything going on in the Labour party in England, I've forgotten whether it's racist to associate Judaism with Israel or what's the ettiquite again.

    Isnt nuclear proliferation worse? Especially when its in the hands of a theocracy?
    Nuclear weapons are already in the hands of too many crazy countries.....

    Considering the catastrophic consequences of nuclear weapons shooting an 'innocent' scientist in the streets is insignificant and a welcome alternative to hundreds of thousands to millions being vaporised by their invention.

    Have a look into their reaction to the poisoning of Sergei Skripal and they reasons why the British convinced even the Irish government to punish Russia.

    If state sponsored assassination is really something the British will never tolerate, let them speak up now.

    Probably received the go ahead during his recent “secret” meeting with the Saudis. A nice distraction from his corruption charges.

    Israel just getting business done before a changing of the guard in the white house.

    If this Scientist was as important has to the Iranians he should never have been allowed to be this exposed. The Iranians know too well that Mossad is fully operational within Iran.

    I don't see there's any reason for the Iranians to over react to this. Just keep developing stock piles of low yield Uranium and continue with their long Range Rocket and ICBM programme and they are on the right track. Once that Genie is out of the bottle there's no getting it back in.

    They mustn't have much faith in the new administration. Also giving a kick to Iran just in case they feel a bit emboldened with Trump gone. Showing both they're not afraid to act on their own.

    They don't tolerate when it happens to one of their assets on their soil.
    When it happens in a rogue state aiming to get the nuclear power status then it's fair game.
    Why are you rooting for the bad guys? Or, for the worse guys, assuming all are bad? The world doesn't need any new nuclear powers, especially a non aligned theocracy of the worst kind.

    Well they probably see it as Obama returning to the White House, and I'm sure you don't need me to tell you what Bibi and Barack thought about each other.
    It may well be a return to the previous deal that was in place.

    Maybe they(like N Korea) see having nuclear weapons as the ultimate deterrent to a US led invasion.

    Only one country has used Nuclear weapons in war time....wonder who that was??
