An opinion piece published by a hard-line Iranian newspaper on Sunday suggested Iran should attack the Israeli port city of Haifa if Israel carried out the killing of a scientist linked to its disbanded military nuclear program.
Though the hard-line Kayhan newspaper has long argued for aggressive retaliation for operations targeting Iran, Sunday’s opinion piece went further, suggesting any assault be carried out in a way that destroys facilities and “also causes heavy human casualties.”
Israel, suspected of killing Iranian nuclear scientists over the past decade, has not commented on Friday’s slaying of Mohsen Fakhrizadeh.
Iranian officials roundly have blamed Israel for the attack, raising the spectre of renewed tensions that could engulf the region, including U.S. troops stationed in the Persian Gulf and beyond.
Kayhan published the piece written by Iranian analyst Sadollah Zarei, who argued Iran’s previous reactions to suspected Israeli airstrikes that killed Revolutionary Guard forces in Syria didn’t go far enough to deter Israel.
Striking Haifa and killing a large number of people “will definitely lead to deterrence, because the United States and the Israeli regime and its agents are by no means ready to take part in a war and a military confrontation,” Zarei wrote. He said an assault on Haifa needed to be greater than Iran’s ballistic missile attack against American troops in Iraq following the U.S. drone strike that killed a top Iranian general in January.
Haifa, on the Mediterranean Sea, has been threatened in the past by both Iran and one of its proxies, the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah. Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah recently suggested striking Haifa’s stores of ammonium nitrate, a highly explosive fertilizer that fueled the deadly Beirut port blast in August that killed 193 people and wounded 6,500 others.

The Left keeps using the phrase “disbanded military program”. They should “fact check” that.
Iran doesn’t like it when a proxie war comes to its home turf.
On another thread, a FReeper raised the possibility the scientist was snatched rather than killed.
We’re not seeing pics of the dead scientist, nor a funeral.
Israel is not the only country that wants Iran to fail in its quest for nuclear weapons. The list of suspects is long.
There was a big, bloody, messy stain on the road in one pic I saw
Iran isn’t stupid enough to attack Israel while the U.S. has B-52s and the Nimitz carrier group in the area.
One wonders what even as little as 10 kt would do to that damnable well in Qom...
Was that the scientist, or the driver and the guards?
>disbanded military nuclear program
In other “news”, major bridge for sale...
“Israel is not the only country that wants Iran to fail in its quest for nuclear weapons. The list of suspects is long.”
If sixty people were involved I doubt it was the Mossad. There were too many opportunities for leaks. This was done by somebody with much less sophistication than the Mossad.
If definitely looked like a stain a nuclear scientist would leave…..
I bet they did it to provoke a war with Israel. Dummies.
This is the regime that Biden, John Kerry and Ben Rhodes can’t wait to hop back into bed with. Disgusting regime and it attracts disgusting people.
😂🤣😂
“Iran isn’t stupid enough to attack Israel while the U.S. has B-52s and the Nimitz carrier group in the area.”
They may be BIDEN their time.
Try it, Mullahs.
Just try it.
Please, oh please.
Thomas Wictor had a good analysis of the incident and claims it was the Saudis who snatched him from his “bodyguards”, who were really his guards, so he could defect. His family is missing, too.
