Mossad and or the CIA have been busy in Iran

There are lots of different accounts going around about bombs, protection officers, gun battles and I doubt we will ever know the truth.
It does seem true the terrorist is dead, though.
(He was a member of the IRGC, a proscribed organisation)

Like  the Gerald Bull assassination, special 7.62 short ammunition used that only fits a special Russian special forces assassination gun that is oddly both short and silent and also short range, (60 metres.)
That does not mean Mossad does not have one or more.

This case puzzles me apparently the care was armoured, most military rifles would not penetrate it.

The BBC can always be relied upon for their impartiality:

BBC's 'Independent Expert' is Iranian Regime Advocate

The BBC was very keen to emphasise the supposed "non-partisan" nature of of Trita Parsi – who presented himself as an independent analyst in an interview about the assassination of Mohsen Fakhrizadeh. In fact Parsi is a well known advocate for the Iranian regime. Parsi left his former organisation after being found by the US courts to be advocating for the Iranian regime, when he attempted to sue a blogger for saying his organisation was lobbying for Iran in America. The court found in 2012 that the work of Tritra Parsi was "not inconsistent with the idea that he was first and foremost an advocate for the [Iranian] regime." He masquerades as a non-partisan analyst when in reality he is anti-Israel and pro-Iran...

A quick google by BBC researchers would have found this front page Washington Times article which says that analysis of "e-mails between Mr. Parsi and Iran's ambassador to the United Nations at the time, Javad Zarif – and an internal review of the Lobbying Disclosure Act – offer evidence that the group has operated as an undeclared lobby and may be guilty of violating tax laws, the Foreign Agents Registration Act and lobbying disclosure laws." While BBC are always keen to call out the ideological leanings of those on the right, they appear happy to introduce an apparent long-standing Iranian regime advocate as an independent analyst...


Keep up the good work Guido

Sounds about right.

There is an interesting piece from maybe 20 years ago where Mossad took out Prof Bull, inventor of the super gun. I'll see if I can find it.

The reclusive Dr. Mohsen Fakriazadeh, reputed father of Iran's nuclear weapons and missile programs, was assassinated near Tehran on Friday, Nov. 27. He was attacked by unknown killers in Damavand, Tehran Province, during an armed conflict with his bodyguards. This was confirmed by Iran's Revolutionary Guards of which the scientist was also a brigadier general.

Shariar Heydari, Dep Chairman of Iran's parliamentary National Security Commission told reporters that the Iranian scientist was martyred when "a car exploded in front of his vehicle followed by gunfire by the terrorists" killing the scientist and one of his bodyguards.
