Killing of nuke chief was done entirely by remote control — Iranian report
Times of Israel ^ | Nov. 29, 2020 | Judah Ari Gross

Posted on 11/29/2020 3:16:54 PM PST by rickmichaels

The attack that killed the alleged architect of Iran’s nuclear weapons program on Friday was carried out from afar using a remote-controlled machine gun attached to a car, a leading Iranian news site reported Sunday.

According to the semi-officials Fars news site, the entire operation was conducted with no human agents whatsoever, a significantly different description of the attack than has been presented until now. The account was not attributed to official sources and was not immediately confirmed by Iran. According to the outlet, the assault took place over the course of three minutes as Mohsen Fakhrizadeh — a brigadier general in Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, and a key figure in the country’s military research-and-development program long regarded by Israel and the US as the head of its rogue nuclear weapons program — traveled with his wife toward the resort town of Absard, east of Tehran.

They apparently watched the Myth Busters episode on this and made the necessary corrections.

My hunch is that Iranian citizens offer this mad scientist. I’d like to believe USA or Israel or arabs did it, because they’re all threatened and need to defend against, eliminate the iranian nuclear bombs. But my hunch is that it’s an inside job, by Iranians, nonetheless. There’s a lot of internal opposition to the crazy mullah dictatorship and some Iranians realize the mullahs with all their threats against America, Israel and the Arabs are driving their country right to the brink of destruction. And the dictators would never admit of their country’s internal opposition — especially not one as effective as this - if my guess is right).

But earlier I read that 62 people were involved in the attack, and that the scientist was dragged from the car and executed after his driver, bodyguards, and the other two cars were taken out.

Two platoons vs remote termination. Quite a difference.

Enemies foreign, enemies domestic. And we thought Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was a threat. C’mon man.

this is a coverup in that the nuclear scientist
may have been extracted by SA.

the pics show 2 bullet holes to the driver through
the front.
none on the left side.
what kind of an attack is that?

also strangely, 2 exit holes from inside
and an atomized guard who exited from the left back door
shooting off left (missing what was happening).

the left back smashed back window
cannot be done remotely well without other damage.

this was good whether to ghost or
take him. corrolary: first thing lost in War = Truth.

So much stuff goin on under the media radar...maybe the irateians captured someone associated with the plot...now want to pretend it was all automatic...very difficult to coordinate an attack like that automatically....maybe Irate will do a human based attack...then claim they have automatic attack abilities..trying to figure stuff out from public reports is about as succesful as reading entrails...at least for me.

I never Saw Breaking Bad referenced below but I remember I think it was You Only Live Twice in which the volcano rim entrance to the villains lair was rimmed with automatic machine guns that slaughtered the well trained Ninja style good guys. I always thought that was a waste. All the discipline and training gone to waste.

Entrails are far more honest and informative then much of the Pravda mass media nowadays. Three cheers for entrails!

Fake news. The car had three bullet holes in the windshield and one that we can see out the rear side window. The car wasn’t hit with a machine gun. The side door was opened suggesting someone was taken out through that side door.

“first thing lost in War = Truth.”

In the US it applies to peace as well.
