Iran Media Claims Top Iranian Nuclear Scientists Killed by Car Bombs
Update: Iranian "News" Station Bombed Mid-Rant
I heard that Mossad agents are now operating deep inside Iran. They have enough Iranian allies to permit this.
It does seem like you'd need agents on-scene to plant car bombs.
Multiple Iranian nuclear scientists were reportedly eliminated by car bombs. Israel has assassinated a staggering number of Iranian military leaders and scientists this week, but the car bomb rumors have yet to be confirmed. Israeli officials have so far denied the car bomb reports, which came from Iran, according to Israeli media, so it is unclear if the reports are propaganda against Israel from Iran or if Mossad is simply not admitting their whole plan, which is quite possible. Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz did post on X (translation by Google), "I instructed the IDF to issue evacuation notices to residents in Tehran living near weapons production complexes. The Iranian dictator is turning Tehran into Beirut and the residents of Tehran into hostages for the survival of his regime. The IDF continues to peel the skin of the Iranian snake with great force, from nuclear weapons to Tehran and everywhere else." The day before, he posted, "Tehran is burning."
NEW: At least five cars simultaneously exploded across Iran's capital of Tehran, says state media.

The targets are believed to be nuclear scientists and members of the regime.
At least 14 nuclear scientists have been killed since Friday, including in car bombs, via Reuters. pic.twitter.com/FBYWvOMLN7
Israel killed Iran's intelligence chief and several top Quds Force operatives during a precision airstrike in Tehran on Sunday, in what the IDF called a major blow to Iran's military command structure. Key Details: Mohammed Kazemi, head of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' intelligence unit, was killed in a targeted airstrike during a leadership meeting, along with his deputy Hassan Mohaqiq and several others. Quds Force intelligence director Mohsen Bakri and his deputy Abu al-Fadl Nikouei were also killed, according to the Israel Defense Forces. The strike comes just days after another Israeli operation eliminated Iran's top military intelligence officer, Mohammad Bagheri, underscoring an aggressive new phase in Israel's war strategy.I had heard from a source with Iranian and Israeli contacts that the regime is anticipated to fall soon.

The Israeli Air Force has bombed the offices of Iran's state broadcaster IRIB in Tehran a short while ago. Footage shows the moment of the attack.

How would we know if this wasn't dissident Iranians planting the car bombs? If I were an ayatollah, I'd much rather blame this on Israel than admit my own people hated me so much they'd be willing to kill their own scientists.

One of the biggest mistakes in the immediate aftermath of 9/11 was that we didn't pound the living shit out of the mullahs. They may not have had anything to do with 9/11 directly, but that was the perfect time to take care of all family business, Corleone-style. Not to mention the billions that the mullahs gave to various Sunni assholes to act as proxies over the next 20 years.

I don't believe this. He's a blood thirsty freak. He probably encouraged them to kill more civilians first then go after the Supreme Leader.
No he's not. Trump is a wuss. 🌮 He can wrap it in “isolationism” but he doesn’t have a heart to actually fight and he knows it.
He attacked family members when he was younger. That's how he ended up in military school. He's a weak old man now but he also has proxies. No one is safe from President Psychopath.
Netanyahu will go ahead anyway. He is King of the Middle East now. Trump will pretend he knew nothing about it and then be "dragged" into a war he and Netanyahu have been fantasizing about.
I don't think that the current Israeli government understands how this revenge thing works. For example, thanks to his acts of revenge in Gaza for October 7th, there will be three generations of Palestinians that will seek revenge on Israeli citizens.

The Biden administration ( Tony Blinken ) saw Iran as a "peace partner" in their plan to solve the Palestinian problem.
https://is.gd/vNkyzQ
From the article:
"According to the U.S. blueprint, the United States and Iran will jointly administer a set of Levantine provinces, including Israel; a future Palestinian state; and Lebanon. Jordan, which is also part of the local geography, is configured as an American protectorate to balance out Syria, which was recognized by Barack Obama, publicly in 2015 and privately in his letters to Ali Khamenei, as an Iranian regional “equity” and will therefore apparently be administered solely by Iran."

What Iran needs right now is a hard-ass dictator to ruthlessly suppress the muslims. Eventually morph it into a sort of Persian-centric apartheid state in which ethnic Persians, be they Zoroastrian, Christian, or Jews run the show, and muslims are a non-voting underclass.

Yep. Russia and Iran have been allies for awhile now, but Russia has their hands full with the Ukes, and just got humiliated on the world stage. Iran was cozying up with China, but China just signed a lucrative trade deal with the U.S. and wouldn't want Trump tearing it up on live TV. The rest of the Middle East is getting hit by all the terrorist groups that Iran is funding. A lethal mix of bad (for them) timing and bridge burning.

Was it lack of positive support for the uprising, or did he provide some kind of material support to the mullahs in their time of need?
I genuinely don't remember and think it may just be that Obama didn't tighten the diplomatic and trade screws at the key moment.

Your position is silly.
Nuclear weapons are 1940s era technology. Anyone who seriously wants them (as the Iranians have expressed their desire to use them against Israel and us demonstrates) is going to have them eventually. So we can no for certain that the clock was going to run out, and it was hastened by the Biden regime's efforts to get it funded.

"About the lack of coverage by the NYT of the protests....
It might be even worse than you thought. According to Joseph Menn on bluesky, "I count 49 news headlines on mobile app home page right now, not including opinion, sports or cooking. None of them are about the massive protests yesterday."
I like this comment from Alexis Madrigal as well, "This is gotta be intentional. But it's also just weird! How many NYT readers were at protests? What % of subscribers? A substantial %! How can it not be seen as newsworthy, especially given the readership?"
The NYT is not ignoring the protests because they are not newsworthy. That is self evident. And they are not ignoring them because their readers aren't interested. In fact, ignoring them will almost certainly decrease their number of paid subscribers. To me, it is obvious they are ignoring them for ideological purposes.
And that really, really, blows."

Giant protests are not interesting.
Claiming the newest thing is bigger than the last thing (using numbers for No Kings that are smaller than the numbers the same outfit used for BLM, mind you) doesn't move anything.
Some people on the left have never quite forgotten that riots are really unpopular (the left did actively push the riot thing on the right for years after 1/6, and it's not because they thought riots were good election winners).
It makes sense to me.
They want Democrats to win, and large protests don't help.

I think the difference is, the bombs we used were the "bullet" style, that is easy, can't-fail--if you have excess plutonium.
But, they want the implosion type that requires super precision and can easily fail but uses far less plutonium 'cause they only have a little bit of that.
I'm betting the number of test we had that failed on that type is still highly classified.
lol, can you imagine that job? "sir, the nuclear bomb failed, who shall we send to retrieve the plutonium?"

But, they want the implosion type that requires super precision and can easily fail but uses far less plutonium 'cause they only have a little bit of that.
I'm betting the number of test we had that failed on that type is still highly classified.
lol, can you imagine that job? "sir, the nuclear bomb failed, who shall we send to retrieve the plutonium?"
Posted by: People's Hippo Voice

Vice versa I think. Fat Man, the implosion bomb, used Plutonium and implosion via explosive charges and U235 was used in Little Boy which was the gun type design. US did not even test Little Boy as the main problem was simply gathering enough U235 to make it work.

"Little Boy", used on Hiroshima, was a uranium gun bomb. That model was never tested, because they were certain that it would work.
"Fat Man" was a plutonium implosion device, same as the "Gadget" which was tested at Los Alamos.
