Another Iranian nuclear scientist has been killed, this one by unknown gunman on a motorcycle. A certain Middle East country whose leadership speaks Hebrew has had no comment. “Darioush Rezaei, a 35-year-old physics professor involved in Iran’s nuclear program, and said he was shot dead by gunmen on a motorcycle in front of his home in Tehran,” according to the Israeli newspaper Haaretz. (See: http://www.haaretz.com/news/diplomacy-defense/iran-murder-of-nuclear-scientist-is-israeli-american-act-of-terror-1.374975) Apparently the physics professor specialized in neutron transport, which is integral to nuclear chain reactions (the type necessary to create a nuclear explosion).

Excellent commentary Neil, as usual. The danger of a nuclear armed and terror sponsoring Iran is a chilling scenario, but as you say, a seemingly unstoppable eventuality. As to the elimination of scientists crucial to their program and the virus attack on the centrifuge computer programs, unless the oft used Hollywood chestnut of a billionaire with a secret identity and superpowers, or, a private army and intelligence service acting behind the scenes ‘for the good of mankind’ has come true, the intervention of a clandestine gov’t. agency is an obvious conclusion. As to the identity of that state, I can imagine a few options.

And by the way, the placement of the ad for ‘Front Sight Firearms Training Institute’ right next to this story…...coincidence by random computer selection, an ad agency with a sense of irony, or a not so subtle message of affirmation….........lol.
