“A world-renowned MIT nuclear science professor who was murdered in his home may have been assassinated by an Iranian operative, Israeli officials said. Married father-of-three Nuno F.G. Loureiro, 47, was gunned down in the leafy Boston suburb of Brookline at 8.30pm on Monday by an unknown shooter who is still on the loose. Loureiro specialized in nuclear science, engineering and physics and he had previously spoken out in favor of Israel, a mortal enemy of Iran. Now, Israeli officials have said Iranian operatives targeted the leading nuclear fusion researcher, according to the Jerusalem Post.”

The global intifada is going hog wild. They are not done yet. Neither are their Antifa/Trantifa pro Palestinian, anti-American supporters. If this war is being supported by Iran, the demoncrat party is in cahoots with them.

You mean it wasn’t a gay sex hookup gone bad like some ignorant posters were speculating previously?

Anti Sharia amendment to US Constitution as Republican theme for 2026 campaign. Big social issue like the Dems had with repeal of Roe vs. Wade in 2022

It could have been an Iranian.

Or it could have been a homeboy. One of THEM.

I guess not and Iran said they would make Israel pay for killing some of their nuke scientists.
The global intifada needs to be designated as a terrorist group and people blocking the streets chanting “death to America” and “death to Israel” need to be arrested.

Assassination on US soil was probably a bad idea.

It is entirely possible that a major power assassinated him to slow progress on fusion development.

Sounds very plausible. These damned middle eastern wars are being fought here in America. Be careful out there.

Personally, I think the shooter at Brown was Islamist terrorist too. And I believe Bondi Beach shooting also per Iran Islamists.

“One of THEM.”
That makes more sense to me.
The FBI is going to be on overload because the local cops aren’t used to handling political assassinations and terrorists.
The demoncrats are complicit and are impeding investigations.
And the attacks will continue.
Now they’ll go after Christians next week.

What a bogus headline - totally misleading. The Israeli officials say “may have been” (first line of article), which is true, but headline doesn’t say that - it says he “WAS assassinated ... by Iranian operatives, Israel says.” Sheesh.

Gee, what was the number of probable terrorists Biden let into the country that was reported last week?

18,000.

I was talking about exactly this possibility with my wife this morning.

This Professor was working on what very well may, once we crack this nut, be one of the 4 or 5 greatest advancements of the human race.

#1, we need to find the perp or perps and very publicly, very slowly, lower them into pig blood. Then execute them Nork style.

#2, plan the missions with Israel to give the IRHC a lesson it never forgets.

#3, seize every tanker with Iranian oil. Offer the oil to Iran’s customers at 25% off.

Read a little further:

Now, Israeli officials have said Iranian operatives targeted the leading nuclear fusion researcher, according to the Jerusalem Post.

There is no "may" in that.

What we really need is a link to the article in the Jerusalem Post -- the link in the Daily Mail article does not work for me.
