"We cannot confirm or deny any Americans or associated assets were involved in an accidental attachment of explosives which might have resulted in the death of an Iranian citizen"

Interesting. I wonder if the nutjobs in Iran will now imprison any/everyone involved with their effort to make nukes, for their own protection.

You reap what you sow. You guys are just asking to get nuked. At this point, I'm not sure anybody will care, as you guys are just as bad as the enemy you are fighting against.

Have fun with that though. I'll sit here and watch (and laugh) when it happens.

I'm not sure who "you guys" are...

If a scientist is working on building a nuclear bomb to mass murder non-Iranians, that is also terrorism? That would make him an enemy combatant. However, from an Iranian point of view they would just say America is kettle calling the pot black. We have nukes, so what do we plan on doing with our nuclear bombs?

I wonder if it is Israel, if it is one of the anti-theocracy factions, or if it is Iran doing what Germany did to allow it to invade Czechslovakia?

I pretty much agree with this. I'm an American and even though there is no proof, and probably never will be - I think the whispered consensus is that this event had our seal of approval. It makes me sick. There are all kinds of other ways to handle things like this.

While I don't want to see a nuclear Iran, blowing up scientists isn't the right thing to do.

What our country *should* do if it had any balls at all is to send in a fairly limited detachment of special forces, along with a decent sized air support/ground support team, and bulldoze the fucking facility. Do it in the open but without warning. Don't hide and sneak around, just go in, take it out, leave, try not to kill any civilians or civilian installations, and when its done - shrug and tell the world "We blew up a terrorist nations nuclear program. What are you gonna do about it?"

It's called an act of war yes, but I don't think anybody would mind too much. You'll probably get som Pakistani's in an uproar, Syria might have a problem with it, maybe Yemen, but the big daddies, your SA, UAE, Kuwait, Jordan, etc wouldn't bat an eye.

If Iran would start assassinating Israel's strategic scientists, I wonder how fast it will be considered an act of war and give seal of approval for US/NATO to invade Iran

The world saw what Syria did when it was their turn in the barrel

If the actual evidence exists, not a peep will be heard. One has to be sure that the evidence exists and is indisputable and not able to be twisted by anyone from either side as fabricated.

I thought the scientists that were killed last year were killed by Iran because they thought these scientists were intentionally sabotaging the program (they had no clue about Stuxnet)??

Poland. The Nazis set up a false flag attack against themselves as a pretext for invading Poland, their invasion of Czechoslovakia was a completely different situation.

What our country *should* do if it had any balls at all is to send in a fairly limited detachment of special forces, along with a decent sized air support/ground support team, and bulldoze the fucking facility.
Which facility? Iran has multiple nuclear facilities, all of them at least ostensibly used for research and development of peaceful applications of nuclear energy, and at least none that I know of with proven involvement in weapons programs. So I'm left to wonder, which "fucking facility" do you have your eye on specifically, or are you just happy to go along with whatever destruction "the big daddies" choose to reap?

Mossad taking care of bussiness, hopefully this wont be the last guy they get.

I can't believe it's okay to support terrorism on this forum. You're as bad as the Taliban--maybe worse. It's about time the American army starts using drones in their own country against people like you. If they can't do it themselves, maybe we should help them. A few anthrax attacks should take care of it.

I have no doubt that Pakistan is helping the Iranians considering the deep hatred the Pakistani military has of America right now. They may just say "Fuck it" and give them a fully functioning bomb. Perhaps they already have and the Iranians are reverse-engineering it...
