Secret Meeting in Desert Between Israeli, Saudi Leaders Failed to Reach Normalization Agreement

In the weeks before the U.S. election, Prince Mohammed’s side privately expressed willingness to accept most elements of a peace plan laid out publicly by Mr. Trump. Under the plan, Israelis would receive much of what they have long sought, including immediate expansion of Israel’s permanent borders into occupied territory. It also required steep concessions from the Palestinians, like demilitarization and Israeli control of all security arrangements from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea.

10 Years ago Today: CIA, Mossad and MEK Assassinated Iran’s Top Nuclear Scientist Majid Shahriari

10 Years ago Today: CIA, Mossad and MEK Assassinated Iran’s Top Nuclear Scientist Majid Shahriari

This November 28th is the 10th anniversary of the assassination of leading Iranian nuclear scientist Majid Shahriari, whose death represented a particularly disgraceful episode in the attempts made by Israel’s Mossad intelligence service to interfere with and damage Iran’s peaceful nuclear research program. Shahriari, who reportedly had no connection to any possible military applications in his research, was the most prominent of the four Iranian nuclear scientists and technicians who were killed by terrorists between 2010 and 2012. He was a leader in the development of Iran’s atomic power research and development program and was internationally respected for his expertise in quantum physics and neutron transport.

Mossad-MEK Assassinated Fakhrizadeh: How the assassination of Iran’s top nuclear scientist can sabotage diplomacy & start a war

Mossad-MEK Assassinated Fakhrizadeh: How the assassination of Iran’s top nuclear scientist can sabotage diplomacy & start a war

Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, a key Iranian nuclear official, has been assassinated in Tehran. While it’s unclear as of this writing who is responsible, Israel has assassinated numerous Iranian nuclear scientists in the past, but had, until now,  been unable to get to the highly protected Fakhrizadeh.

Some Iranian reports claim it was a suicide attack, which would reduce the likelihood of Israeli operatives carrying out the attack, but the bullet holes in Fakhrizadeh’s car cast doubt on that.

Israel has in the past, however, used operatives from the the MEK — a cult-like Iranian exile group recently removed from the State Department’s list of terrorist organizations — to conduct attacks in Iran. The MEK was the first group to introduce suicide assassinations to Iran.

Economic warfare, cyber warfare and assassinations too. Since 2010, there have been at least three assassinations and one attempted assassination of Iranian nuclear scientists. Two senior officials in the Obama administration revealed to NBC news that the assassinations were carried out by the MEK. They also confirm that the MEK was being financed, armed and trained by the Israeli Mossad and that the assassinations were carried out with the awareness of the United States. The State, too, has secretly trained and supported the MEK.

Biden’s foreign policy: the return of American exceptionalism

Biden’s foreign policy: the return of American exceptionalism

Karim Sadjadpour, a foreign policy expert at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, said: “Tony and Jake still believe in the idea of American exceptionalism.”

However, Mr Sadjadpour, who knows both Mr Blinken and Mr Sullivan, said they would instinctually veer away from military adventurism in favour of diplomacy and de-escalation. He added they shared Mr Biden’s belief that America “must lead by the power of its example not only the example of its power”.

Martin Indyk, a former US ambassador now at the Council on Foreign Relations, said the duo had learned to be “very wary of regime change” and would steer away from overthrowing governments.

I’ll believe it, when I see it!

‘State-sponsored terrorism’: John Brennan slams reported assassination of Iranian scientist

‘State-sponsored terrorism’: John Brennan slams reported assassination of Iranian scientist

“This was a criminal act and highly reckless,” Brennan charged. “It risks lethal retaliation and a new round of regional conflict.”

He urged Iran to remember that President-elect Joe Biden will take office in January.

“Iranian leaders would be wise to wait for the return of responsible American leadership on the global stage and to resist the urge to respond against perceived culprits,” he counseled.

“I do not know whether a foreign government authorized or carried out…the murder of Fakhrizadeh. Such an act of state-sponsored terrorism would be a flagrant violation of international law and encourage more governments to carry out lethal attacks against foreign officials,” Brennan warned.

Trump Pentagon deploys USS Nimitz aircraft carrier to the Persian Gulf: report

“The official said the move was decided before news came of the assassination of a prominent Iranian nuclear scientist,” Starr explained. “But the movement of the US forces is an increased deterrence message to Iran regardless the official noted.”

“The movement puts increased American military firepower and thousands of personnel into the region through the end of the Trump Administration. It may be up to President-elect Joe Biden to decide when to withdraw them,” she added.

Iran’s Top Nuclear Scientist Assassinated As Israel Tries To Provoke War

Iran’s Top Nuclear Scientist Assassinated As Israel Tries To Provoke War

The assassination of Mohsen Fahrizade does not aim at Iran’s nuclear program. Its purpose is to assassinate the nuclear deal with Iran before president elect Joe Biden comes into office.

There are expectations, which I don’t have, that Biden will rejoin the nuclear deal with Iran. The Trump administration had left the deal and had re-introduced severe sanctions against the country. President Trump retweeted news of today’s assassination. If Biden really wants to revive the deal he should immediately condemn today’s assassination. Obama did similar when the other scientist were killed.
