Iranian of the Day

He was not a nuclear physicist

I knew the late professor many years ago when we were students. Although all physicists may seem the same from a mile above, Prof Alimohammadi was a theoretical/mathematical particle physicist, which is quite removed from nuclear physics. In fact, he was part of a small cadre of theoretical physicists that have been doing quite well in Iran. Here is his homepage, with full list of publications. For those of you who can make sense of it (or not rather) it is highly mathematical and has nothing to do with nuclear physics.

While it is not outside the realm of possibility that he may have consulted for the Iranian nuclear program (which I doubt), it should be mentioned that bomb-making is much more an engineering problem, requiring the mastery of certain technologies. The theory is well known to most.

Why can't the mighty IRI protect its citizens?

I guess the IRI is doing a piss a** job of protecting its citizens against "Zionists", American, the British and even the mother of all assassins, the BBC.  They are running around wild in Iran killing Neda, Sohrab Arabi, and now bombing a nuclear scientist's home?!!!!  Wow! what kind of zoo has Iran become under the IRI, where foreign agents can kill whoever they want?!!! S**t, the IRI is so dumb that even the BBC could hatch a plot to shoot and kill Neda in broad daylight and get away with it!

was he a signatory in 88 professor’s letter to regime?

Recently (Jan. 4th 2010), 88 Iranian professors sent a letter to Khamenei (Iranian Professors Urge Ayatollah Khamenei to Halt Government Violence).  Was Prof. Mohammadi one of the signatories to the letter?  If so, this may be "teaching a lesson"!

IRI show Episode ...

Definitely this is an IRI job to distract people. Too bad for them that nobody buys any of it. I mean they want to tell me that Israel risks it's valuable agents to come to Iran and blow up a university professor. I can assure you that they have much more important targets to aim than a university professor.
This is just a distraction for masses. This time however everyone knows their dirty tricks.

Why was he not protected?

If this guy was a much in demand nuclear physicist, why was he not protected? IRI seems to rely heavily on its intelligent services and yet a suspicious motorbike outside the entrance to a top nuclear physicist has gone undetected. If you ask me it has IRI name all over it.

Knowing that the regime

Knowing that the regime will use any excuse to come down even harder on the oppositions (i.e green movement) some morons on this very website still advocate "airtight sanction", "surgical bombing" or direct intervention of the West by military or otherwise means.

"Ghassam hazerte abbasset ghabol konim ya dome khoroso"

In regards to whether this was an IRI inside job or Israeli, in my book both are certainly criminal and capable enough to commit such crime. Both regime's aim and interest is their survival first and only but both will go down the toilet sooner or later as they are criminal in nature.

Mehrdad

definitely killed by IRI

100% IRI's job. If he was an important person for the regime why they didn't protect him? They could escort him by giving him some bodygurds(Baseeje thugs) just like the shepeshoo Mullahs who have 100s of them even when they go to WC!

Israel did the deed..????ahhaah I don't think so

It is really SAD that the IRI did this to take out an opposition supporter....It really is interesting that the possibility exists that the IRI saw him as a BIG THREAT such that they'll cut off their nose to spite their face

FREE IRAN NOW!!!!

I.R.I Regime!!!

this damned satanic regime kills a nuclear scientist to cast a cloud of U.S/Israel involvement in Iran. Their hope is to sow some doubt in the people's minds so they will begin to think~~" Wow it was THEM the whoooole time!!!!"  But the stupid retarded unorganized idiot basij dogs killed a person who was also PRO-MOUSAVI !!!!  This particular murder designed  to convince the masses "that the enemy is here" could end up backfiring.  Still however the demonic I.R.I. is relentless, watch in the coming months and years for more chaos to be orchestrated and designed by this phucking regime so they can blame the "enemy". They will blow up oil rigs, kill more scientists, set fire to an embassy, set explosives on a train tracks, blow up airplanes, and leave trails of the star of david pamphlets or MKO papers everywhere so they can point the finger to the "enemy."  And the sad thing is the MOST PEOPLE INSIDE IRAN their ONLY point of Reference is the state controlled radios, newspapers, and television. They could believe this deception and possibly unite.

Pro Israeli "friends"!

Keep defending your beloved Israel/U.S, but this Haaretz article is one year old and it discredits your propaganda:

In all fairness

Our people did not deserve 30 years of oppression, torture, execution, corruption, terror, rape, maiming, mutilation, lies, pain, suffering, poverty, and economic disaster by a system, and not some corrupt elements.  A system that has shown time and again is not above any deed that it will deem necessary to continue its parasitic existence. 

LET US BE FAIR

It is true that the current regime has corrupt individuals with backward mentality, however the current assassination of nuclear scientists in Iran is very much obvious that stems from those governments that simply don't want to see Iran is acquiring nuclear technology. It is difficult for me to believe the assassination was the work of IRI.

Two words

Rex Theatre. 

Have you noticed

that the bomb was placed in a "motorcycle", IRI goons' favorite mode of transportation?!!!!

Look at these PATHETIC TRAITORS!!

An Iranian nuclear scientist has been the subject of terrorist attacks, and he's not the first physicist being targeted. And look at these pathetic expats, hanging to any starw to blame the IRI even the most asinine excuses,  claiming that the government did this because the guy although not anything like a hot protester....but might have voted for Mousavi!

Yeah right, Iran is going to kill clandestinely ALL of the 13 million who voted for Mousavi. Among them, the nuclear scientists which are one of the most valued and much in demand scientist right now by the government.

Clearly, there is a concerted effort by the west and terrorists to kill not just Iranian nuclear program, but Iran's advancement in nuclear physics, period. Mr. Mohammadi as the first recipient of nuclear physics Ph.D. from indigenous Sharif University, was the best target of what terrorism tries to do: intimidate the institution and those who attempt to run it, and make it successful.

Sharif Universty has been discussed as one of the sites by Israeli and Americans for military attacks for 10 years, precisely because of its successful graduate nuclear physics program, exemplified by people like Mr. Mohammadi!!

It's basijis' job!

Nobody except this Islamic brutal regime capable of doing such act.

Islamic rapist regime hit two targets with one shot. First they killed a pro-Mousavi intellectual and second they can blame it to Israel! Who they think they are kidding!

One stone and many birds!

1.       An educated opposition element is removed.2.       Worldwide sympathy for IRI nuclear program.3.       Helps alienate protestors who may find the argument that US & Israel are behind the unrest, more plausible.4.       Helps the new initiative of reconciliation with the "reformists."

Associated Press says that he was a Mousavi supporter

The fall has begun

The fall of this regime is underway and these parlor tricks are all part of the mechanisms to prolong it.  Unlike the 80's the same tricks wont work twice.  People are fedup with the IRI and Islam and they both have to go.

From what I heard

this guy was not even nuclear scientist, but needless to say after accusing the usuall suspects (Jews, neocons, Isreal, U.S,  MKO and so on) IRR will probably start executing bunch of people and use this event as an excuse and justification.

Here we go again: back to the 1980's

the regime is using its tried and tested tactic.  Back in the 80's, when it saw itself in danger, it created chaos by assassinating Khomeini's rivals and other threats to its survival, and then blamed it on the opposition.  It then used that excuse to conduct mass executions.  It's using a page from that same play book.  God knows what this guy was up to.  He was probably fed up with the IRR and was about to go public with some info.  So, they car bombed him, and now they're going to blame it on the opposition.  Executions will follow.  Just watch.
