‘Iran's strategic patience, most decisive response to scientist’s assassination for now’

By Mehrdad Torabi

The cowardly assassination of the head of Iran's Research and Innovation Organization of the Ministry of Defense, who was considered one of the prominent scientists of the country, once again exposed the antagonism and hostility of enemies of the great Iranian nation.

The New York Times, in an article, portrayed the Iranian scientist, Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, as "the force behind" what it called Iran's "nuclear weapons program."

No wonder political scientists around the world argue that American society has long deviated from the fundamentals of democracy and, in fact, degenerated into a new form of dictatorship that permeates every aspect of its political, economic, and social order. It is not too extreme, therefore, to reason that the despotism through which The New York Times, in particular, and western media, in general, contain public opinion is comparable to that of both Orwellian fascism of 1984 and suppressing people in an autocratic regime like Saudi Arabia's absolute monarchy.

US officials say Israel was behind the assassination: New York Times

Three US officials have said that Israel was behind the assassination of Iranian scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh in a terrorist attack near the capital Tehran, according to a report.

To be clear, Iran DOES NOT have a nuclear weapon program, and "western media," as Iranian academic and political analyst Seyed Mohammad Marandi rightly pointed out, only "mimic the propaganda of their regimes in order to justify terrorism and murder."

As long as the international institutions are concerned, it is indeed a meaningless evasion to pretend that we have witnessed not the failure of international bodies such as the European Union or the United Nations, but those who refused to make them work. We shall not wait, then, for them to convict or demand their condemnation, for justice and truth are justified only with strength and success and nothing less.

Whether warmongering actors of our epoch's bloodthirsty regimes will face justice anytime sooner or later is a question of lesser significance; what matters most, conversely, is that a decisive approach, response, or revenge—pick your word—is needed.

Trump retweets Israeli journalist’s message praising assassination of Iranian scientist

Donald Trump has retweeted a message by an Israeli journalist that praised the assassination of top Iranian scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh.

It is evident; terrorism has targeted the scientific progress of the Islamic world in general and the Islamic Republic in particular. The first and foremost reason for this hostility is my and your growth; is our development and self-sufficiency; is the strength, at this very moment, of our fists as we shout out loud what is just and inflict upon them the truth. A military response, however, won't suffice to bring about justice. It cannot alone end in success, for world history is the world court, in which nothing succeeds like success.

An act of decisive revenge is my and your determination towards what our foes are most afraid of, knowledge and progress. The United States, Zionist apologists, and all other blood-soaked imperial powers of our epoch should have to suffer seeing this nation at the peaks of progress and development—and that includes our missile systems and nuclear technologies as well. That only signifies our strategic patience, and that only must be our most decisive response in this current state of affairs.
