And so it begins:
Iran's top nuclear scientist was reportedly killed Friday in an apparent assassination that the country's foreign minister linked to Israel.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office has not responded to CNN's request for comment.
So we all saw this coming, and it is starting now. As of right now, there is no confirmation from Israel, but this is Trump’s opportunity.
Label me a CT monger, but I think Trump is going to start something like a war and claim that the transition cannot be made because it is wartime. It will NOT work, but he is clearly desperate to stay in power, and he will destroy absolutely anything he needs to in order to retain it.
More from the article:
Mohsen Fakhrizadeh was head of the research center of new technology in the elite Revolutionary Guards. He was considered one of the masterminds of Iran's controversial nuclear program.
...
Iranian state media said the killing appeared to be an assassination. Photographs from the scene showed a car with its windshield blown in, and the road strewn with glass and blood.
Iranian Foreign Minister Zarif called the death "cowardice -- with serious indications of Israeli role."
It is going to get ugly.
