This is what #Israewl was planning: hit #Iran & make sure it can't respond by an all-out war, otherwise the #US will be part of it. @Netanyahu meeting with MBS is:
Mohsen Fahrizade the architect of Iran's military nuclear program was assassinated in Tehran, Iranian media reports
#US told us it is sending a B52 to the Middle East
#Israel PM @Netanyahu is in deep domestic trouble doing everything to avoid being taken to court.
is the assassination of an Iranian nuclear scientist helps Israel or the US in any way when #Iran has reached the necessary knowledge to complete its nuclear circle?
The final answer, regardless if Mohsen Fahrizade is still alive or has died or will die later is one and only one:
Well, perhaps the assassination of Mohsen Fahrizade may convince Grand Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenei that a 90% enriched uranium is inevitable.
If #Iran retaliates, it has the right to defend itself.
I won't be surprised to see a response very soon.
The assassination or attempt assassination of Mohsen Fahrizade may convince @JZarif and @HassanRouhani that the nuclear deal, after all, is a bad deal?
Iran President Rouhani asked a few years ago: Why do you kill our scientists? Because they enjoy it? Or to show they can?
From following the Middle East and the "Axis of the Resistance" for decades, I can say one thing:
They will not be dragged to a battlefield according to the timing and the terms of #Israel and the #US.
Four of the assassination team were killed during the clash between Mohsen Fahrizade and his bodyguards. It was a double attack: an IED and an assassination team.
.@RealdonaldTrump is trying: 1. Drag #Iran to war or 2. Toughen Iran's position to violate the level of enrichment 3. Spoil a US deal with Iran #US administration led by President-elect @JoeBiden has one choice: Reinstall the nuclear deal without any modification or negotiation.
A Nissan car exploded at 14:30 blocking the car of Mohsen Fahrizade when crossing Khalij Farisi square. An assassination team fired 4 bullets and the scientists die at the hospital from his wounds.
#Israel Prime Minister @netanyahu was not in #SaudiArabia to talk about peace and normalisation. Most probably he was seeking Saudi military and logistic support in case of war on #Iran.
Saudi Arabia has indirectly declared war on Iran and maybe considered an accomplice.
So far #Israel assassinated four nuclear scientists in #Iran but the nuclear programme and the development of the ballistic missiles continued. The free-democratic world accepts any Israeli assassination.
Mohsen Fahrizade was on @secpompeo's list of sanctions.
Just spoke to my sources in #Iran: They believe this is not the end of it and more hits maybe expected before the 20th of January.
Iran believes @realdonaldtrump has a personal vendetta because Iran disregarded him and refused to sit with him around the negotiation table.
Iran missile programme obviously hurts a lot.
#Israel is aware #Iran won't respond as long as Trump is in power. This is what could encourage Israel to hit further.
I wouldn't be surprised to see more missiles hits from #Yemen against #SaudiArabia and perhaps the Emirates.
This was my article 3 days ago: The Second paragraph
The "Bully of the neighbourhood", Prime Minister @netanyahu preparing for an attack on #Iran.
is it over? I don't think so. More hits to expected in the coming days/weeks.
#Israel and #SaudiArabia will do everything to try and drag #Iran into a war. It will depend on the size of the hit. As long as it is limited damage (with all due respect), no war.
Now #Iran has prepared in its bank of objectives, I learned, several targets to hit against not only #Israel but also Gulf country objectives.
Crucial time ahead.
Here is @realdonaldTrump retweeting a former #Israel intelligence officer's tweet about the Israeli assassination of an Iranian scientist to tell us that @netanyahu coordinated with him the attack and most probably the team rehearsal was done under Mossad and CIA supervision.
The murder of Fakhrizadeh is an act of #Israel state-sponsored terrorism.
How mainstream media will react to the Israeli target assassination of a civilian in a foreign state #Iran?
The #US opened the road to the violation of International laws.
From the series of tweets of the former #CIA director, the message is to #Iran not to respond and wait for @realDonaldTrump to leave and for @JoeBiden's administration to take over.
is this how #Israel unlawful assassination and breaking of the international law is confronted?

To those ignorant voices, mainly the US-Iranians who more royal than the king, accusing the Iranian sec forces of a failure I say:
You have no clue because you have been pampered in the #US and never seen or understood how these assassination plots are carried out. Read more>..
According to the most experts in security and protection teams, when a car bomb explodes in front of a protection team and a VIP convoy, only 2% succeed to escape, particularly when another hit team is waiting and have been skillfully trained.
Regardless of the level of training of VIP bodyguards, unless there is a very large convoy (which is not the case for a director of a scientific program even if threatened in the past), the chances to escape an ambush like the one set up for #Fakhrizadeh is extremely slim. #Iran.
When #Israel PM Netanyahu and #SaudiArabia Crown Prince Mohammad Bin Salam meet on Saudi soil and say it is directly against #Iran and declare security cooperation, there is no doubt anymore that Saudi Arabia and Iran are at war.
Because Saudi Arabia is weak and an incompetent country with a lot of money (unable to defeat the poorest country in the ME, #Yemen), it can't stand to #Iran's power. Saudi it is trying to gather more enemies of Iran in one blog thinking this coalition might work.
No coalition worked in #Afghanistan, #Iraq, #Syria & in part #Lebanon. All failed to reach their objectives even when the coalition was much bigger than what #SaudiArabia is trying to gather behind it.
In a TV interview I have given today, I explained why @netanyahu and Mohammad Bin Salman released this information.
Many reasons: MBS boosting his Neom $500 bn projects; Netanyahu diverting the attention from the internal committee of fraud by Gantz; +
#SaudiArabia afraid what 2 expect from @JoeBiden, therefore MBS is seeking #Israel favouritism & support; @SecPompeo aiming to become a politician & boosting his blind support to Israel for this purpose. Many birds in 1 stone. Bottom line: nothing new. Saudi-Israel rlshp not new.
How do you know #Israel PM @netanyahu is terrified and guilty of fraud and corruption? Every time there is an investigation or new committee to look into his doing, he jumps towards an event that covers how rotten he is to make it more difficult for justice to take him to trail.
To the last breath, @SecPompeo (This is really nasty) is planning to sabotage @EmmanuelMacron's initiative in #Lebanon by imposing sanctions on @Gebran_Bassil to prevent @saadhariri from forming a government. Expect the devaluation of the local currency to reach a new high level.
No reason why @Gebran_Bassil would accept to give up on his role in the new government when @EmmanuelMacron failed to protect his initiative and freeze the US sanctions. @saadhariri can no longer ignore the Christian quota and choices of their own ministers.
Back to square one.
The stupidity of the #US has no limits. The best favour and huge re-booster to Bassil. Well done America!
As previously announced, it is official now: The US Treasury announces sanctions against the leader of the biggest Christian parliamentary party in Lebanon Gebran Bassil.
Watching the video of the terrorist shooting a civilian while walking, it reminds me of the same style used in Paris when the attacker did exactly the same, shooting a policeman.
In #austriaAttack, the man carried a gun & a machine gun with abundant ammo
#austriaAttack doesn't look an attack on the Synagogue but a terrorist - It doesn't look he had a specific target- attack shooting passerby. 1 of the terrorists (it is definitely a Paris-style attack to me) shot a civilian from a short distance 3 times to be able to reach him.
It is early to jump to conclusions but, the first idea I have is that of #ISIS using its propaganda machine to announce its return and start recruiting.
These are the consequences of the war on #Syria when #Europe allowed jihadists to travel to turn the country into a fail-state.
Gulf countries, #SaudiArabia#Emirates and #Bahrein normalised with #Israel to 'counter #Iran". How can Israel help defeating Iran when the entire Israeli army is lockdown in barracks , afraid of #Hezbollah, a tiny small group ally of Iran?
Strange policy.
#US is spending $10 bn in #Lebanon, not to build schools, universities, hospitals, innovative agriculture & industry or alternative energy but to counter #Hezbollah. But Hezb imposed a President (@General_Aoun), a PM (Hassan Diab) and the speaker is his ally.
Weird investment.
And #SaudiArabia King Salman speaks at the #UN against a small group, #Hezbollah, rising the level of a non-state actor to an important player, a competitor to Saudi Arabia's influence.
Also @SecPompeo remembers Hezbollah every single day and imposes sanctions every month on it.
