The shooting took place in Tehran. Speculations that the ambush is part of Israel's response to the Hamas attack. The response is not limited to the Gaza Strip.
A senior intelligence official of Iran's Revolutionary Guards, Mohammad Akiki, was ambushed and is in critical condition. The assassination attempt took place in Tehran, Iran.

Obviously, Israel is suspect #1 - and who would blame them? However, it may also be time for cleraing up of internal schisms within the Iranian security apparatus. There may be a strife within the leading cadres whether to get involved in open warfare with Israel or not. So far, Iran (via Hezbollah and troops in Syria) have been relatively restrained, despite a number of cross border grenade attacks.
However,
Ping!
(I know you are overwhelmed with pings, but this is a story so far only in Italian lnaguage media.)
Iran must pay a price
👍
The Israelis have very long arms able to reach out and touch someone.
Iran faces no existential, religious, political threat from Israel. Israel doesn’t want to invade them, conquer them or convert them.
Wouldn’t it be better for Iran to just live in peace with Israel?
Any time you want to off someone in the jihadi universe, blame Israel.
Never let a crisis go to waste
@PGR88: One would think so, but the leaders in Iran are pushing for a policy aiming for Iran/Shia hegemony in the Middle East. That entails rivalry with both Saudi Arabia and Turkey. Part of that rivalry is played out as being the power most involved in the military (aka: terrorist) fight against Israel.
Israel doesn’t do assassination ‘attempts’.... They do assassinations.
> Wouldn’t it be better for Iran to just live in peace with Israel? <
The Shah of Iran felt that way. Then Jimmy Carter arranged for his exit.
Even so, Iran’s ambitions were checked by Iraq’s Saddam Hussain.
Then George W. Bush arranged for his exit.
Once again, we see how America’s arrogant desire to interfere everywhere only made things worse.
Exactly!
There must be gangs of marauding Amish in Iran these days. //sarcasm
Someone needs more work on gun control !
“Never let a crisis go to waste”
Bingo. Could have been us that did this. Poking with sticks to make it act.
The globalists love endless wars as it has made them all so wealthy. Also, despots need external enemies to blame for internal purges and atrocities of their own citizens.
Mossad wouldn’t have left him in “critical condition.”
Pity, reads like Allah’s destiny (Qadar). Hence, there is no free will in Islam... blame the islamic moon idol.
Mossad?
There's nothing American about such interference, nor desire. Those who do so are bought and paid for by globalists and do their bidding, not Americans' bidding.
