We are just now learning that this previous week Iranian
scientist, Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, was assassinated. He was traveling via vehicle
in the east district of Tehran when his passenger vehicle was overtaken by a
Nissan. There was apparently an open gunfight between the vehicles followed
then by an explosion, which resulted in the untimely death of the famed nuclear
scientist. This comes at times of already strained relations between Iran,
Israel, and the United States. No one has taken actual claim for the
assassination, but several have commented on the affect that this incident will
have upon Iran, their infrastructure, and the peace work that has been done in
order to bring about ceasefires in the holy land.
“Iranian President Hassan Rouhani also said the country
would retaliate and pointed to Israel”, this should come as no surprise as
there has been an ongoing battle between the two countries. If a retaliation
did occur there is no predicting what warfare would be expected. Countless
lives from both sides have already been lost between the countless back and
forth. Israel being a neighbor puts them in much riskier position with blame
being tossed their way as they will face the effects watching from their back
doors. This attack, however, could be the final piece capable for Iran to
declare that there is no option for peace when incidents, like the assassination,
continue to happen. This leads to the belief that there is a much bigger plan unfolding
and that this was not an isolated incident.
In the upcoming weeks, with tensions high and continuing to
rise, one can only speculate what may transpire. It goes without saying that Iran
will seek justice in some way or another against whomever turns out to be the
one or ones responsible for the killing. What their punishment will be able is
yet to be determined, but there will be repercussions.
