There is a good deal of discussion among friends and enemies of Israel alike about the killing yesterday of Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan, a top Iranian nuclear scientist and leading official at the Natanz nuclear site. Roshan was killed, according to media reports, by two motorcyclists who threw a bomb at his car and sped away. The killing took place mere blocks from the Iranian intelligence headquarters. Iran has called it “a daring terror attack.” Media around the world are referring to it as an assassination.
An assassination by whom is an interesting question. It could be Israel’s intelligence agency, the Mossad. It could just as easily be our own CIA. Or it could be the remnants of the Iranian opposition Green movement that famously took to the streets after the sham “election” in 2009. The Greens have largely been forced underground in the years since the failed revolution and their participation in the recent spate of scientist killings should not be ruled out.
Regardless of who is responsible, we can only pray that these activities slow down Iran’s inexorable march toward a nuclear weapon.
What do you think?

Iran needs to be stopped from further acquiring nuclear technology they will use it against Israel if the world continue to allow them to acquire such capability…

Israel has the right to defend herself, pre-emptively if necessary, from a regime which has sworn to wipe her off the face of the earth before the entire world. God will bless those who bless Israel and curse those who curse Israel. God will bless whoever helped or assisted in this Iranian scientists death. Iran has threatened to cut off shipping traffic through the Strait of Hormuz and has threatened our naval vessels by chasing them and other provocative actions. I believe Israel and the United States have been ready for a very long time for this very moment. Iran started the current provocation. There could only be one thing more beautiful in my sight if Iran is foolish enough to start a conflict; which would be our fighter jets flying wingtip to wingtip with Israeli fighter jets in defense of her country, should Iran attack U.S. interests in the Gulf or Israel. May God unleash the Eagle if Iran continues on their current path of madness to develop a nuclear bomb to provoke and ultimately attempt to annihilate Israel. I read God’s word. I know how the story ends. I am still praying for the peace of Jerusalem and the safety of her children. Israel has suffered enough.

I think Iran killed their own scientist,in hopes of starting a conflict with Isra’el. But Isra’el is too intelligent to fall for it!

Bring back the Neutron Bomb and test it on Iran.They are bent on hate, religious bigotry, racism and anti social behaviours. We did not tolerate Hussein. Why should we tolerate this lunatic in Iran ?
