Western intelligence alleged he was the man in charge of Iran’s nuclear programme, Project 111. Western powers claim Project 111 is or was an attempt to create a nuclear bomb for Iran, though Iran has proved on usual occasions via IAEA observers that its program is solely for civilian purposes and that the information provided by Western intelligence agencies is fake or forged

more like he died trying to provide civilian nuclear energy for his country lol

The reddit thread on this is so cringe, people saying that Iran definitely have a weapons program and that anyone who points out there’s no evidence for that is an Iranian shill, because, you know, the US UK and Israel definitely don’t have the most sophisticated social media propaganda programs

There are some decent takes in there at least:

This is good, Iran can never be allowed to have nuclear weapons. Especially after they used those two to nuke Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Even the CIA says Iran has no nuclear weapons program. But the media and politicians are so hawkish they have people convinced there is one.

Isn’t China getting quite a bit of its oil from Iran? Makes sense then to eat away at China’s resource base one proxy war at a time. Renewed attacks on Venezuela would fit this strategy as well.

worst case we get an open war in Iran

best case we get “targeted” sanctions that make it harder for civilians to access basic necessities, but we don’t actually start a war so Biden doesnt need to pay any domestic costs for his actions

There would have very likely been wars with the DPRK and Syria and at the very least a resurgence of terrorist activity in Russia.

DPRK has nukes. Hillary is a semi-competent Imperialist, not a Possadist.

I love how libs get scandalized when russians kill double agents i. e. traitors (I don’t like Putin, but double agents per definition are dangerous traitors), but they routinely shrug when it comes to Palestine or Mossad assassinations or the US propping up fascist death squads

Not that any intelligence service wouldn’t kill double agents/enemy state agents, but I personally don’t trust any Western media narrative about “Russians assassinated X person” because A) they’re liars and give no proof beyond “intelligence says so”, and B) it’s eminently useful to do false flag assassinations of some useless nobody and then use your friendly stenographer media to trumpet about the evil enemy government.

Russia, by the way, doesn’t really play this game. When its people get assassinated, the media/state narrative essentially leaves it a mystery (little discussion beyond vaguely blaming the West) and downplays it. It doesn’t have the same strong media arm that can convince half the world and it doesn’t want to show weakness by admitting too loudly that it can’t prevent assassinations. (I’m sure Iran has to play this carefully too - warn its nuclear scientists to be careful, but don’t scare them shitless so they’re demoralized.) The world’s superpower and its allies are the ones that bay for blood whenever they’re (supposedly) attacked.

Yeah it’s always very strange that liberals are all about rule of law and checks and balances, and here we are talking about [attempted] murder, and there’s barely any police investigation, nothing’s transparent, and most importantly there’s no trial… but MSM says “the FSB did it for sure” really? Let’s hold a trial then and present the evidence! Oh you won’t do that because intelligence work is more covert than that? Yeah alright, I guess we must believe what the MI6 spokesperson says then…
