PRESS RELEASE


British Empire All But Admits
Responsibility for
Killing Iranian Scientists

Jan. 17, 2012 (EIRNS)—On Jan. 13, the Iranian government sent letters to the British and U.S. governments, accusing them of complicity in the Jan. 11 murder of Iranian nuclear scientist Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan.

On Jan. 15, Sir Rupert Murdoch's Sunday Times of London gave an answer of sorts. It published a British Empire declaration of war against Iran, using its puppet state, Israel, as the cover to claim credit for the Jan. 11th killing of Roshan and the other nuclear scientists, going back to the first such assassination in January 2010. The gloating article is called "The World Inside Mossad's War on Tehran," and it describes a minute by minute account of the surveillance of Roshan, and how the attacks are planned and carried out in the "heart of Tehran" by Israeli agents, who can strike at any time.

"For Israel it was a classic assassination mission. 'What is seen in espionage films as a simple operation is a result of hard work, many months of intelligence gathering and a well-trained team,' said a source who released details, impossible to verify, to The Sunday Times.

That said, the Sunday Times has now officially announced that Israel is carrying out a covert war, so they raise the question, "the worry is, how will Iran respond?"

The Times writes:

"Since its foundation in 1948, Israel has used assassination as a national weapon, striking targets abroad ranging from Palestinians who killed Israeli athletes at the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich, to enemies on the streets of Amman and a Hamas leader in a Dubai hotel room in 2010," writes the Times.

"Now Iran is the target. In the past two years assassins have attacked five scientists in the state nuclear program, killing four of them. Mossad, the Israeli external intelligence agency, is widely believed to be responsible....

"There has also been a series of mysterious explosions. Last November a blast hit a military base used by the Revolutionary Guards, killing General Hassan Tehrani Moghaddam, head of Iran's ballistic missile program."

The British game is play up the Israeli role—which is actually orchestrated by the British "mother"—knowing that if Iran can be provoked into counter-attacking, it will be against the United States, and U.S.-strategic assets.
