Iranian nuclear scientist ?assassinated by Mossad?

I wonder how much truth there is to this story.
It would be an interesting tactic for Israel. We shall have to see if and how Iran responds.

Just curious... if Iran has peaceful goals for thier nuke program why then are they burying all the centrifuges under ground?

A PRIZE-WINNING Iranian nuclear scientist has died in mysterious circumstances, according to Radio Farda, which is funded by the US State Department and broadcasts to Iran.
An intelligence source suggested that Ardeshire Hassanpour, 44, a nuclear physicist, had been assassinated by Mossad, the Israeli security service.

Hassanpour worked at a plant in Isfahan where uranium hexafluoride gas is produced. The gas is needed to enrich uranium in another plant at Natanz which has become the focus of concerns that Iran may be developing nuclear weapons.

According to Radio Farda, Iranian reports of Hassanpour?s death emerged on January 21 after a delay of six days, giving the cause as ?gas poisoning?. The Iranian reports did not say how or where Hassanpour was poisoned but his death was said to have been announced at a conference on nuclear safety.

Rheva Bhalla of Stratfor, the US intelligence company, claimed on Friday that Hassanpour had been targeted by Mossad and that there was ?very strong intelligence? to suggest that he had been assassinated by the Israelis, who have repeatedly threatened to prevent Iran acquiring the bomb.

Hassanpour won Iran?s leading military research prize in 2004 and was awarded top prize at the Kharazmi international science festival in Iran last year.

President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is expected to announce next Sunday ? the 28th anniversary of the Islamic revolution ? that 3,000 centrifuges have been installed at Natanz, enabling Iran to move closer to industrial scale uranium enrichment.

Inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency say that hundreds of technicians and labourers have been ?working feverishly? to assemble equipment at the plant.
 
The centrifuges are buried underground with U.N inspections and cameras. They do not want Israel or the U.S to bomb them. Unfortunately for the Iranians, building a nuclear reactor underground is not going to happen.

As far as this article goes, hundreds of thousands of Iranian Jews live in the world. Majority are in the U.S or in Israel.
Very easy to do, since Iranians are more than a handful in Israel.

Wow... Just how much of a blood thirsty prick are you? Why don't you just volunteer to be a guard at Gitmo and get your jollies before we get a chance to round up all the Bushwhaos who favored such illegal, immoral behavior to give them a taste of all that imprisionment they're so willing to dish out.

Of course, there'll be enough evidence that we won't have to worry about denying them THEIR rights to habeus corpus or to legal counsel. Then, we can ship them off to the Hague for their trials for Crimes Against Humanity.

I get the feeling you'd fit right in. :thumbsdown: :| :thumbsdown:

Would you rather have Israel launch an all out air raid or employ this type of tactic?

One or the other, which one?

BTW how many Israelis died last year because of Iranian built missiles?

murdering a scientist is a crime.
He was doing nothing illegal.

How many civilians have died as a result of U.S built weapons?

But governments do not care when it comes to murder and what is right/wrong. Therefore, I don't see why we should debate about this since this doesn't fall only on Israel when every nation has brutal histories when it comes to such topics.

Let's let .... "GOD" decide on what needs to be done.
 
Good I am glad. Hopefully they execute the rest of the science team. Much more civilized than carpet bombing the plants.

Yes let's kill civilians.

Beautiful. Well done.

Sorry, scientists working on a military effort are not civilians. Killing them individually instead of bombing nuclear sites potentially contaminating civilian areas is a much more civilized alternative. I would hope you can see this.

You should have murdered Einstein yourself 😉

I always felt like Israelites were some of the most violent people.. Whatever happened to Murder Begets Murder ..

Thou Shalt Not Kill

Hooray for humanity

& where does it say anything about any of these scientist working for the military?

No, I'd rather see you get a little up close and personal experience a some of this blood letting you're so willing to advocate. It might inform your opinion.
One or the other, which one?
I don't accept the premise of your binary proposition.

So , when Iranians storm some Nuclear Science Labs here in the USA and murder Nuculur Scientists then they will be justified according to Richard "neanderthal" E

I guess it depends on what you believe. If you believe the IEA inspectors, as well as the Iranian presidents "interview" where he stated that the countries peaceful path could chance at any time, plus his adamant calls for Israel and the US's destruction, this was a good choice.

If you believe the Mullah's and Russia than this was a bad choice.

Either way, right or wrong, something was going to be done. It was probably going to be bombing. Killing scientists working on military weapons that were going to be used to destroy you is much more civilized than bombing the sites and potentially killing many civilians that might not have wanted you dead.

Yes, because you would rather believe a individual who has already called for the death of the US and Israel than the IEA and the US, not to mention some of Iranians own officials saying that the bomb was possible. Of course it is all for peaceful purposes. Everyone knew Israel and the US were going to do something, this is better than bombing the crap out of them. Of course, the US and Israel are suppose to sit back and wait for there citizens to get murdered before doing anything..

Oh..


I guess Iran helping Hamas and Hezbollah attack Israel would count wouldn't it? Of course, those Israeli jews had it coming to them right. :roll: I mean, god forbid they protect there own people from other countries that want to murder them :roll:
 
so Iran can go to Israel and kill Israeli scientist now.

Hell Iran should just launch their missiles at Israel's nuclear plant.

RichardE, you would have no objection now would you?

Then you are denying reality as the Israeli's most likely see it.

Your opinion on blood letting and violence and all that don?t mater one bit to the Israelis who see a crazy lunatic making a nuclear bomb that he will most likely use on them.
Remember many in the Islamic world see violence and death as a way to bring back the lost Iman. So blowing up Tel-Aviv might be a good thing in their eyes.

Imagine if you learned that Bush believed that dropping a nuke on Mecca in the middle of hajj will bring back Jesus would you trust him?

I wouldn't like it, but no, I wouldn't object. Iran would have to live with the consequences of course, which I am sure you and Dahu would sit here and cry over when it happened, but no, Iran has every right to launch a missile at Israel's nuclear plant. They would of course be bombed/nuked in return and I would have no objection to that at all either.
 
I don't think "many' in the Muslim world believe that dropping a bomb on Tel-Aviv is going to bring back the lost Iman. Especially when that Iman is going to be holding hands with Jesus.

Umm hello!!!!! Where does Hezbollah get the thousands of missiles it launches against Israel each year? Iran has been waging war against Israel via proxy for years. This is the first time, that I know of, that Israel has fought back directly.

Where did Iran get thousands of missiles it launched on Iraq .. from Israel .. via the US?

I am not taking sides here.. I just hate the hypocrisy and the lies that come out of our military and our leaders and we can see how badly our "Superior Military" fvcked up EVERYTHING in Iraq.. there isn't much trust left

Hezbollah only launches thousands of rockets into Israel when Israel threatens to invade Lebanon.
Hezbollah has always made that clear. They don't go around launching hundreds of rockets on a daily basis. They have tens of thousands of rockets and they are all sitting there collecting dust for now.

IMO the only reason the conflict escalated in the summer was because the Israeli President was pulling a "wag the dog" stunt. It was nothing new for Israel to bomb Hezbollah positions or for Hezbollah to attack Israeli soldiers. It wasn't even new for Israeli soldiers to cross the border on occasion and fire on Hezbollah fighters.

Israel and Hezbollah have been going at it for years. You just didn't hear about it that much prior to the summer because Hezbollah doesn't train their people to go into Israel to blow themselves up in restaurants full of people. That crap is done by Hamas.

You credibility on this is ZERO dude. NO ONE disputes that what happened last summer was as direct result of the actions of Hezbollah in attacking and kidnapping Israeli soldiers.

Even the leader of Hezbollah stated that he did not expect Israel to react in the way in which they did.
In an interview with Lebanese television last night, Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah said: ?We did not think, even 1 percent, that the capture would lead to a war at this time and of this magnitude. You ask me, if I had known on July 11 . . . that the operation would lead to such a war, would I do it? I say no, absolutely not.?
Please explain that comment away?
Who is to blame for the deaths last year since Nasrallah himself he would not have launched the action that started the war if he knew it would lead to such a large war. Obviously Nasrallah believes that ?operation? was the direct cause of the war, and therefore the actions of Hezbollah are directly responsible for all the death and carnage. Without that ?operation? there would be no war, and therefore no death and suffering.
Sadly too many people like yourself continue to make excuses and try to shift the blame to Israel.

You and your ilk are like the people who try to blame the US for the 200,000 dead from the Atomic bombs droped on Japan while ignoring the fact that Japan started the war. No war, no atomic bombs. No kidnapped and dead Israeli soldiers, no death and destruction in Lebanon.
 
What in the world are you blabbering about?

I made it clear Hezbollah and Israel have been going at it for years. This means their soldiers/military whatever you want to call it have been fighting each other in this I hit you no I hit you back games.
Both sides have been attacking each other and crossing the border, etc.

The difference between other organizations fighting Israel is that Hezbollah targets Israeli soldiers.
Israel targets Hezbollah soldiers.

It was a balance of power that did not threaten civilians for a long time. Hezbollah fought Israeli soldiers and in return Israel sent in aircraft and bombed Hezbollah positions or sent in infantry to attack and then retreat.

This time around Israel's President decided to invade Lebanon. Hezbollah made it clear that any invasion attempt by Israel would be disaster and they told Israel exactly what they would do. Hezbollah is not a group that was made to destroy Israel. It is a group that was made to kick Israel out of Lebanon. It is an invasion stopping militia.

When the leader of Israel decided to be a war hungry mofo, civilians on both sides died. Nothing was accomplished and the war was a total waste of time.

They'd rather we get nuked. The left only favors absolute surrender to militant Islam. They view every minor move against it as evil.
