Current Events

Got to love how the IRI conducts criminal "investigations" :-)

I was watching the video on Tehranbureau.com  (the first video on top). Look at minutes 0:28-0:31.  See how this supposed cop throws pieces of shrapnel (evidence) away.  How funny!!

I guess when you're just used to yanking people out of their homes and hanging them from cranes, "evidence" doesn't matter much.  Old habits die hard. 

One May Think

These killings of civilians

would weaken the Iranian Regime,

this is a fallacy,

in fact it will unite the different factions inside the regime and end up stablizing it.

Terrorism would never work to achieve a long lasting reform/change. 

Take a look around and see.

Good terrorism, bad terrorism!

           The hypocrisy and moral bankruptcy!

IR Has Killed Its Own, Before!

It might as well do it again for whatever reasons they have. Let's not forget the murderous nature of the regime.

OKey donkey, Perperi

thanks for the vid info. I've always got issues with eye witnesses

and it still doesn't answer why she didn't go over and warn the guy. Poor driver!*

Anyway, the moral of the story is:

use your legs, a bike, skates, a donkey or public transport for your health.

*isn't there a clicking sound when the magnet sticks itself to the car? 

OK Miss Money Penny Lily!

Here is what happened according to the witnesses. It happened as I described.

Bahram.

Not every Iranian back home, specialy in the scientific community who works for Iranian government is supportive of regime,in fact  quite the opposite. In fact I am becoming more and more convinced that this man was killed by IRI itself, like the ones before him. Some reports suggest that he was not even a scientist, just a high ranking manager. IRI, out of it's desperation is hoping to gain something out of this man's murder.

the detonating guy pretends it's not working, the other guy goes over and shakabooomb! Another agent gone.

btw, why didn't the witnesses stop the guy from going to his car?

Two Motorcyclists Named Mo!

The way these assassinations work is as follows.

Two guys on a motorcycle approach the moving car. The guy in the back attaches the magnetic bomb to the side door and then they speed away. When they are in safe distance, the guy in the back detonates the bomb.

Sometimes there is a second motorcycle staying back and watching the action. If the bomb doesn’t detonate or if the driver stops the car and tries to run away, the second motorcycle quickly gets there and the guy in the back shoots the car driver and passengers.

These ambush techniques were used by the European and South American terrorist groups in the 70’s.

Dear Bahram G

My suggestion is to patriotic Iranians not IRI fools. Plus I am talking about "if Iran is attacked by USA". If that happens then it is a losing proposition. Anyone who fights will die. 

Now if good people refuse to fight and IRI goons do then what happen. The IRI goons are killed and reasonable people will make it. Doesn't it sound good; it is the best outcome. Beats having good patriotic people gone.

Besides the gravy train is getting less gravy on it all the time. Once the gravy dries up many of the supporters will go. Many others will also realize they are going to lose and go. Beating on civilians is one thing; fighting a superior military another.

R. G?

You throw me for a loop. You recommend to god to forgive him? Your rational is mind boggling. You assume that he was simply doing what he was doing to earn a living. By your reasoning just about every act of every criminal can be excused. All those prison guards raping men and women are also working at their jobs to make a living.

So you, yourself would work for the regime doing their biddings if you were in similar situation? Every man has a price, it is said. And of all people you implicitly condone people doing whatever they must if it is a job.

I hope you didn't mean it the way it sounded.

......

........well, now it is pretty hard for IRI  to be compassionate toward Amir Mirza Hekmati! it is a sad day!

Two motocycles and a Magnetic bomb

How do witnesses know it was a magnetic bomb?

Were they attracted to it?

خدا این آقا رو بیامرزه..

Please lets show some respect. Imagine you are a relative of his, reading this blog ...

He was a technologist doing his job, just like a lot of us here. Just because he ended up working for the wrong side (because he most probably had no other career choice in Iran) , does not mean he was a bad man. I have not seen anything about him participating in IRI attrocites.....

Dear vpk

You keep advising the Iranians not to fight for the regime.you keep saying that the regime is not worth keeping. Well, a huge number of Iranians who are on the mullah's gravey train disagree with you and will do everything, no matter how heinous it may be, to keep it in power for as long as they can.

You don't have to look very far to see these betrayers of Iran. They pop up on IRDC regularly and with various disguises, some very subtle and some blatantly obvious, defend the evil regime and misdirect blames. Sadly, this is the dark side of human nature at work. It is by no means exclusive to us. All societies produce the type.

Davids of the world can prevail by banding together, exposing these creatures of AHRIMAN, and preventing them from their criminal acts.

Factionalism!

Factionalism within the regim's ranks did not start yesterday. Killing their own started on the same day the regime came to power. We are talking about mullahs who are controlling the oil money and call themselves God's representatives on earth. Doing Godly stuff such as deciding when someone must die is in their job description. As long as the criminal regime in Tehran does not allow independent investigation of these cases, the regime's involvement cannot be denied. Remember chain murders? Who was behind those? Why should anyone doubt the regime would not do it, again? Wouldn't some of the mullahs want Rafsanjani dead? Wouldn't Rafsanjani want the same for those mullahs? Their "peaceful" coexistence may not last forever. Who was behind all the assassinations and bombings right after the revolution, aside from Forghan and MEK? What is said on this site is mostly speculative. And what the regime says cannot be trusted, as long as the domestic usual suspects are not rounded up and investigated by an independent investigative body, first.

حالا ببینیم جمهوری اسلامی دربارهٔ اسرائیل چه غلطی می‌کند

Thank you Bahmani

I very much agree with your point about Islamic Republic. Just that people hear "Iran" and specially if they are not familiar think Iranians. As you know we don't say Afghanistan we say Taliban. Anyway thank you.

By the way you are absolutely right this is not winnable. Nobody with a brain will fight on the side of IRI. Not even those who benefit from it. Because it is a losing game. I said many times, if there is war surrender.

I will repeat. This regime is not worth fighting to preserve. It is our enemy and will bring ruin on people. No Iranian should be working to help them. Do what is needed to survive but nothing beyond it.

VPK: I mean the IRI

Please read my whole comment.

My point is that we call IRI Iran, but they are not the real Iran.

Wrong Bahmani

Iran's heart is full of dark evil hatred, no love.

You are out of line sir. How do you know Iran's heart. Iran's heart is fine problem is the Islamic Republic. You always and deliberately mix the two. I have seen you do this many times. Why are you trying to blame Iran for these dictators. 

Facts

Couple of things that need clarifying:

Two witnesses are reported to have seen two motorcyclist attach two magnetic bombs on the scientist's Puegeot. Was this before or at the time the explosion happened?

If they saw it before the explosion then did they tip off thd police? I mean if you see two suspicious people planting a bomb onto a car then you won't stand around nonchalantly and not raise an alarm.

But it is interesting that from the responses on this thread it lroves that target assassinations work. A bomb goes off in a Baghdad market and no one reacts-just numbers. Someone gets killed in a terrifying mafia style attack and every one is terrified. This is a cleaner war. Imagine if this happened to Sadeq Larijanj. That would have been perfect.

@عموجان

You claim the Israelis " take care of people that are useless to Iran."

By this token you and your ilk should have been eliminated long before this Iranian scientist. 

If he was working on Nukes, he knew the Risks

You CANNOT go up against a superior enemy and expect to win. David and Goliath is a biblical myth, it simply does not happen.

Especially when Iran trying to play the role of David. The key to David's win against Goliath was the purity of David's heart and his love. That's the primary reason he won.

Any idiot who's been to Florence, knows what David means.

Iran is NO David, Iran's heart is full of dark evil hatred, no love.

ergo, Iran CANNOT (and will never) win this.

People need to know it's called "Iran", and we even here on this site call it "Iran", but this shit, this shitty bad actor, this shittiest depiction of an honorable nation of good people, is not the real and true Iran that we all aspire her to be.

Now,

you all go and celebrate the killing of the Iranian scientist with Fred the Israel Lobby head cheerleader on IC.

Re: Everything is on the Table

Faramarz Jan. Interesting you say this because a similar thing happened 1400 years ago. Before Mohammad it was forbidden to raid in the month of Rajab. But he broke the rules just as his followers do today.

They show no respect for any rules but their own. When the rules do not go their way they say it does not apply to them. When the rules go their way they are all for it. They whine about law but only when it fits them.

I want to know how much respect did Islamists show for American diplomats. How much for Iranian exiles in the West they brutally murdered. How much for US marines in Lebanon and the list goes on. Then how do you want respect in return.

Also

I can't wait for FG to make a blog either saying this was an inside job or  celebrating this assassination.

Possible Mossad involvement

While no one here can confirm Mossad was invovled, it's not just a wild guess to say they were responsible. 

All of these assassinated scientists involved in the nuclear program, the failed assassination plot on Abbasi. 

Israel's military chief of staff even said that Iran should expect more unnatural events in 2012. 

Everything is on the Table

There was a time when certain things were off-limit.

For example, before 9/11 and the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, you couldn’t bomb a mosque, Fridays were prayer days and not a battle day, Ramadan was a holy month and one could not engage the enemy. Civilian areas were also off-limit.

But things changed when mosques became sanctuaries for the enemy and ammunition depots, terrorists hid behind women and children and attacked on Fridays and during Ramadan.

Nowadays, everything is on the table. When you fight an enemy that doesn’t wear a uniform everything goes.

Khomeini started all of this and the Regime is continuing it.

One more point

I obviously condemn murder of any innocent person. And people are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. But I disagree with Abarmard about this being a starting point. 

Assuming this was done by the West it is not a starting point. How innocent many people did IRI kill by sending assassins to the West. How is this new when IRI was doing it for decades prior to this murder.

By the way it is assuming this was done by the West. It is still possible it was done by some other power. Maybe it was IRI itself who knows? You are taking word of IRI as gospel.
