The Israelis took out Iran's top nuclear scientist yesterday in a manner befitting James Bond. The Daily Wire reported:
Initial reports said that a car bomb was detonated near a car that Fahrizadeh was riding in as he was on his way to visit his in-laws outside of Tehran. The New York Times reported that a squad of operatives then jumped out of an SUV and opened fire on the car. The Times of Israel reported that three of Fahrizadeh’s bodyguards were killed in the coordinated strike before all the operatives reportedly escaped.
However, a new series of claims from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) affiliated Fars News Agency alleges that there were no operatives with guns jumping out of vehicles and shooting at the car.
Barak Ravid, a reporter with Israel’s Walla News and a contributor at Axios, tweeted out a summary of the press release from Fars News Agency.
“According to the report, Fakhrizadeh and his wife were on their way to spend the weekend at their house in a Tehran suburb. There were three security cars with them and at a certain point the leading car left the motorcade to do a preliminary security check of the house,” he wrote. “Right after the car at the front of the motorcade left shots were fired on Fakhrizadeh’s car and it stopped. Fakhrizadeh stepped out of the car thinking his car hit an object on the road or there was a problem with the engine.”.. Article.
Of course, the news of the remote-control machine gun originates with the Iranian government. Hmm.... the New York Post reported a slightly different story:
The assassination of Iranian nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh was carried out by a highly trained hit squad of 62 people — pouncing in six vehicles after the local power supply was cut, according to local reports.
The killers — who Iranian officials have insisted were sent by Israel — included a team of 50 giving “logistical support” to the dirty dozen who carried out the actual ambush Friday, sources told leading Iranian journalist Mohamad Ahwaze.
All involved had “entered special training courses, as well as security and intelligence services abroad,” Ahwaze tweeted, as translated by ELINT News.
“The team knew exactly the date and course of the movement of the Fakhrizadeh protection convoy in the smallest details,” Ahwaze’s sources told him, allowing them to cut the scientist off as he went to his private villa in Absard.
Shortly before Fakhrizadeh drove through their ambush site, the team “cut off the electricity completely from this area” to slow reports of their assassination and any calls for help, the reporter said. Rest of article.
Regardless of how it was done, the good guys won a round.

This will come back to haunt them, it's just not the way you solve problems in 2020.
Bullshit. Of course, I'm sure you have said something when Iran assassinates its dissidents overseas, don't you?
My wife strongly disagrees me when I tell my kids to fight when provoked. In a perfect world they wouldn’t have to. Unfortunately that’s not the world we live in. The fact is sometimes violence is the answer.
What the world needs is for a handful of cruise missiles targeting the palaces/HQ of Iran's grand poobahs. The Persians historically are good people, and I have known a few, but they are under the thumb of some evil dictators. Set them free!
9:12 is that you John Brennan?
Obama's CIA chief, John Brennan, freaked out over this action and is highly critical of it. Of course he voted for the Communist Party presidential candidate in 1976 because Jimmy Carter was too conservative for Brennan.
He shoulda stayed at home and practiced social distancing. But since he didn't, we'll chock this one up as due to Covid-19.
During this lame duck period before Trump leaves office the Israelis know that they had better move on their hit list now. They will also take more land and establish some new "settlements" before the Biden people and the rest of the world can blink. The "good guys" are gettin' busy.
If Brennan didn’t like it, that’s all I need to know to support and celebrate it
Good Guys Win One? Really? Talk about biased titling Fish. How do WE get to decide what's good or bad about how those people are treating each other? God America is really full of itself especially considering the foolishness we show the world. SMDH
Damn shame, I say. Allowing Iran control of nuclear weapons is probably not a great idea. Say what you will about Trump and his sometimes unfortunate statements he saw the situation with Iran as it really is very clearly and has followed the correct course in dealing with them.
8:24 Thank you, Obama. "Death to America", Death to Israel" mean something. Plus they were probably involved in your election coup d'etat: https://www.worldviewweekend.com/tv/video/wvw-tv-exclusive-lt-general-michael-flynns-first-interview-president-trumps-pardon
Faq Iran and faq John Brennan.
Peace through Strength....Trust but verify...
We know 8:24, we can hear the two BB's rattling.....
Is that you Emad Al-Turk?
Talk about biased titling Fish. How do WE get to decide what's good or bad about how those people are treating each other?
And YOU want your comment to be taken seriously? LMAO
First, I'm an American. As has been stated in other comments here, these people from their own words desire to do away with America. That desire would include doing away with myself and those I love. So, yes they are the bad guys.
In the worlds of the "other people" Americans desire to do away with them. I can't wait for the day (when I'm dead) when people start to think for themselves as opposed to what some propaganda machine from the Left or the Right tells them what to think. Nowhere is that type of mindless dribble more prevalent than in the comments of sheep on social media.
Proof that visiting your in-laws can be hazardous to your health.
"This will come back to haunt them, it's just not the way you solve problems in 2020."
That's funny.
Israel will not only endure, but will continue to prevail.
(Yep . . .that post was influenced by Faulkner)
Please tell us your thoughts about how to end this conflict (in 2020) . . . it started thousands of years ago.
Sorry, but sharing a coffee in the Fondren is not a solution.
Until then, don't mess with the Mossad.
Israel has betrayed the USA too many times. You can’t truly be an American Patriot and a Zionist. I have no love for Iran either. But it is the fault of the USA and Israel that Iran is currently under the rule of the islamists after assasinating Mossadegh and the installing the puppet Shah.
"Israel has betrayed the USA too many times."
Yep, but over the years we haven't been the been the best friend to Israel either.
Can you blame em' after the Carter, Clinton and Obama policies ?
" the USA and Israel is currently under the rule of the islamists"
I wish you were right.
They don't put up with any crap . . . they will just slice off one's head.
No . . we're under the control of snowflake liberals.
