Nuked

Mazel tov to Mossad for making the world a little bit safer for us all today:

A PRIZE-WINNING Iranian nuclear scientist has died in mysterious circumstances, according to Radio Farda, which is funded by the US State Department and broadcasts to Iran.

An intelligence source suggested that Ardeshire Hassanpour, 44, a nuclear physicist, had been assassinated by Mossad, the Israeli security service.

Hassanpour worked at a plant in Isfahan where uranium hexafluoride gas is produced. The gas is needed to enrich uranium in another plant at Natanz which has become the focus of concerns that Iran may be developing nuclear weapons.


But Mossad can't stop Iran from building the bomb by targeted assassinations alone. The longer Iran's nuclear program goes unchecked, the harsher our response will have to be to stop it.

Agreed.

It'll go tactical before this is all over.
