Shadow War – Explosion kills Iranian nuclear scientist could be Mossad

FARS News – Israeli sources confirmed that the terrorist attack which killed a senior Iranian scientist in Tehran on Wednesday was a joint operation carried out by the agents of the Israeli spy agency, Mossad, and the anti-Iran terrorist Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO).

The magnetic bomb which was planted by an unknown motorcyclist under the car of Ahmadi Roshan Behdast, a professor at Tehran’s technical university, also wounded two other Iranian nationals in Seyed Khandan neighborhood in Northern Tehran.

“Instead of actually fighting a conventional war, Western powers and their allies appear to be relying on covert war tactics to try to delay and degrade Iran’s nuclear advancement,” said Theodore Karasik, a security expert at the Dubai-based Institute for Near East and Gulf Military Analysis.

Meir Javedanfar, an Iranian-born analyst based in Israel, said Iran’s leadership is being pushed toward a decision on whether to “retaliate or compromise” as sanctions squeeze the economy and undercut the value of the Iranian rial.

“From the international consensus that we can see against Iran, even if (Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei) does retaliate, it’s not very likely that the pressure — sanctions and isolation — would ease,” he said. “He’s in a tight spot.”

In December, 2011, we covered the explosions at Iranian nuclear and military facilities

I look forward to the movies inspired by these events.

In June 2010, the computer system operating the uranium enrichment centrifuges at Natanz had been infected with the Stuxnet worm (computer virus)

Two weeks ago, a huge blast ripped through a Revolutionary Guards military base 40 kilometers west of Tehran. The explosion could be heard as far away as the capital. Dozens of people were killed, including the head of Iran’s missile development project, General Hassan Tehrani Moqaddam.

This week, there was a powerful explosion in Isfahan, Iran’s third-largest city, which has a uranium conversion plant on its outskirts. It is not yet clear what was damaged in the blast.

Coupled with other incidents, including the assassination of several Iranian nuclear scientists.

The theory about inside-help gains traction given that, in addition to the military targets, other sites – including oil facilities, gas pipelines, trains and military bases – were also damaged over the past year. Last year there was a considerable increase, of at least 10 percent, in “breakdowns” and “accidents” at Iran’s strategic infrastructure sites.
