Mossad boasted in 2012 of killing Iranian nuclear scientists

The Daily Beast reported in  2012 that Mossad was behind the killing of Iranian nuclear scientists, from all the evidence:

“Six weeks ago in Washington, on the sidelines of a major U.S.-Israeli meeting known as the “strategic dialogue,” Israeli Mossad officers were quietly and obliquely bragging about the string of explosions in Iran. “They would say things like, ‘It’s not the best time to be working on Iranian missile design,’” one U.S. intelligence official at the December parley told The Daily Beast.

Those comments were a reference to a string of explosions at a missile-testing site outside Tehran on November 12. The explosions killed Maj. Gen. Hassan Moqqadam, the head of the country’s missile program. But the manner in which the message was delivered—informally and on the sidelines of an official discussion—also speaks to how Israel appears to seek to create the impression of responsibility for acts of violence and sabotage inside Iran without quite taking formal responsibility.

These kinds of actions even have their own Israeli euphemism, “events that happen unnaturally,” to quote the Israel Defense Forces Chief of Staff Benny Gantz, from his remarks before the Knesset on Tuesday. In his testimony, Gantz promised more such unnatural events in 2012 aimed at thwarting Iran’s nuclear program.

All told, five Iranian scientists or engineers affiliated with the nuclear program have been killed since 2007, the latest being Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan, who Iran’s semi-official Fars news agency says was responsible for procurement at the Natanz enrichment facility. A sixth, Fereydoon Abbasi, survived an assassination attempt in 2010 and is now the head of Iran’s atomic energy agency.

William Tobey, a former deputy administrator of the National Nuclear Security Administration and a National Security Council specialist on nuclear issues, said four of the six attacks on the scientists since 2007 used magnetic limpet bombs that would be attached to a vehicle carrying the target.

Tobey, who just published a paper on the assassinations for the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists, would not speculate on the country responsible for the attacks, but Patrick Clawson, the director of research at the Washington Institute for Near Policy, said the signs point to Israel.

Comment:

Inspite of Israel boasting about assassinating Iranian nuclear scientists; Israel’s admission of having creating the Stuxnet virus which sabotaged both Iranian nuclear facilities and likely was used in the cyber attack on India’s electricity system; the involvement of Mossad and CIA in the Mumbai attacks: the involvement of the Mossad in the training both of Sri Lankan and LTTE forces…despite all this, there will always be sycophants of the New World Order who will show up and accuse any researcher with the integrity to put the facts out even-handedly, without cowering before the establishment, as anti-Semitic.

If so, one must learn to wear that scarlet letter A/S with equanimity.

  1. “Sycophant of the New World Order” I suppose that is a dig at yours truly. Not cool

    Nevertheless if you feel the views of this wild eyed stooge of Zionist shape shifters are a tad askew by all means feel free to debate

  2. Furthermore what “evidence” is it that CIA/Mossad were involved in 26/11? Assertion of a conspiracy isn’t evidence.
    Evidences of CIA/Mossad techniques used by the terrorists in infiltration, misdirection and psy ops isn’t evidence is either. They simply learn from the best in this case by considerable degrees of separation.

  3. The Anti-Semite label has been thrown around so much that it is losing its’ power to intimidate. It was always meaningless anyway since semitic references a language group and not a religion or tribal affiliation (whether real or contrived).

  4. @Zara
    Your post if full of fallacies and non sequitors

    How did you deduce that the label anti Semitism is designed to intimidate? I was only stating an opinion which I derived from the peculiar thought process and blame assignments by the author.
    And yes it has lost much of its value but then so has the terms racism and Islamophobia( a rather comical term honestly)

    I think any half literate person knows that there are more than one Semitic peoples. It is an unfortunate inaccurate term but it has caught on and for better or worse its associated with anti Jewish bigotry

    Again yes, the term is overused but it doesn’t mean there are no anti Jewish bigots out there who need to be exposed..

  5. When any post I make is accused of fallacies and non-sequitors, then I know that it has hit the mark. I stand behind my original comment.
