Israel’s plan against Iran is heading for failure
By: Sardar Mesto
Tags: Iran, Israel

Undoubtedly, the main goal of the assassination of high-ranking Iranian nuclear physicist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh was to disrupt agreements on the fate of the Iranian nuclear program, which is known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action.

However, Tehran’s reaction to this provocation came as a complete surprise to Tel Aviv, since instead of taking any steps, Tehran chose to leave its foreign policy unchanged.

This approach has caused general welcome in Europe, which for four years tried by hook or by crook to preserve the Joint Comprehensive Action Plan, and now expects the Joe Biden administration to return to the deal agreed under Barack Obama in 2015, without any additional negotiations.

Given Biden’s statements about abandoning his predecessor’s approach, Washington will not have any room to maneuver on this issue if it wants to somehow improve relations with the EU.

On the other hand, Tel Aviv worsened its relations not only with European capitals, which condemned the assassination of an Iranian nuclear physicist, but also with Washington, since the latter may regard this assassination as an attempt to force the US into a forced confrontation with Tehran. And the Americans rarely forgive their allies like this.

Iran’s determination to stay in the deal, Biden’s willingness to return America to the center of global affairs and to end Trump America, and Europe’s desire to capitalize on this momentum have collectively sabotaged Israeli plans to destroy the JCPOA. The assassination of Iranian nuclear physicist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh will have enormous consequences for Israel. In this context, the aim of the elimination of the above-mentioned person was Tel Aviv’s desire to provoke a conflict. However, what happened had the opposite effect: contrary to Israel’s expectations, the assassination prompted Europe to take further action.

An unfavorable situation arose for Tel Aviv, when the White House is headed by D. Biden, who, unlike his predecessor, is not so loyal to Israel. In this case, Washington can bring claims to Tel Aviv, which tried to present the United States as an accomplice in the murder.
The summer I took on Representative Brad Sherman
Tags: Annexation, Grassroots, Ifnotnow, Israel, Palestine

This was my first time ever protesting a member of Congress.

When the Israeli government announced plans to annex the West Bank this summer, I was enraged. Even worse, everywhere I turned it seemed that Jewish community leaders and politicians were not taking Netanyahu’s threat seriously. Was I really alone in believing there should be consequences when the Jewish state violates international law?

That’s when I found #JewsAgainstAnnexation. I joined their conference call, met other young Jews aching to do something, and learned how to plan a protest. The next day, me and a few others from IfNotNow LA had a plan: show up at Representative Brad Sherman’s office demanding he support conditioning military funding to Israel if annexation happens.

When I shared the Facebook event, a friend commented, ‘he’s one of AIPAC’s favorite Democrats. He’ll never move’. I responded, ‘AIPAC is powerful, but if we all show up then we can win’.

And, a few days after our protest, Brad Sherman publicly supported conditioning military funding to Israel if it annexes the West Bank.

When we organize, we win, even against one of AIPAC’s favorite Democrats. I want to keep organizing and winning with IfNotNow in 2021, so I’m asking you for your financial support. Will you support IfNotNow in not only rising to the occasion in 2021, but also develop the leadership of people like me in the process?

(that’s me with the megaphone!)

When I joined this movement, I learned firsthand how IfNotNow expands what’s politically possible by standing up for what is morally right even when everything feels stacked against us.

Before organizing this protest, I don’t think I would’ve believed that Congressman Sherman would even consider conditioning military funding to Israel. Not until I witnessed my new found friends in IfNotNow LA coming together with a shared focus, hustling, and planning, did I believe we could win.

My new community told me about how they spent the last four years fighting an intensely uphill battle against an administration sympathetic to white nationalism. Now that Trump finally is on the way out, my friends and I are already talking about how we’re going on offense to ensure that the Biden administration holds Israeli government accountable.

Our campaigns are working, and we want you in this fight with us. But to keep up our grassroots pressure and hold our leaders accountable in 2021, we need your support. Click here to sustain our fight for justice in 2021 and beyond.

Thanks for listening to my story,

Israeli’s sold the elusive “Dubai dream” could be walking into a nightmare

The normalisation of diplomatic relations between the UAE and Israel has been touted as a great stride towards peace in the Middle East. While Israel and the Emirates have had an informal cooperative relationship for many years, the official establishment of diplomatic ties certainly goes a long way to spread regional acceptance of Israel, which should help ease tensions. The UAE immediately embarked upon fresh campaigns directed at Israeli investors and businesses, hoping to entice entrepreneurs to expand their activities into the untapped Middle Eastern economy.

And the Israeli commerce sector is equally excited for reciprocal trade and commerce, looking forward to openly accepting Arab investors into local activities. But what does the future hold for unsuspecting Israelis?

What are the risks of doing business in the UAE? Radha Stirling, founder of Detained in Dubai and the Gulf in Justice Podcast discusses.

Momentum — The Mentor Driven Acceleration Program

Tags: Accelerator, Entrepreneurship, Startup, Israel, Technology

Momentum Start-Up Accelerator is a 3-month startup acceleration program designed for ventures formed by Students & Alumni of the Interdisciplinary Center Herzliya (IDC).

In 2001, IDC faculty decided to develop and launch the IDC Entrepreneurship Club (IEC), thus initiating what would become Israel’s largest Student Entrepreneurship Club, serving over 1,000 students annually.

Momentum Start-Up Accelerator serves as the flagship program of the IDC Entrepreneurship Club — students and alumni of IDC, who have already begun working on their venture and are past the ideation stage, can apply during one of the two enrollment periods which occur at the beginning of the winter and spring semesters, accordingly.

As the enrollment process starts teams are handpicked from a long list of applicants by various criteria as Idea Assessment, Pitching, Business Model and Scalability Potential.

During the program, in which each batch period is one full academic semester, participants go through a planned syllabus structure designed to propell their Start-Up from Pre-Seed stage to competing at a higher level, whether by raising capital or by competing as a structured business over a market niche.

In addition to the structure of the program, which covers all relevant aspects for an emerging Start-Up (whether it be Storytelling, Market fit & Validation, Legal & Fiscal Advisory, or the Demo Day — a highlight event in which participants pitch their Start-Up to VC & Angel Investors), participats also earn a Mentor to guide and advise them throughout the program.

Mentors at Momentum serve as the key player of the program, as they are sharing with the participants invalueable lessons learned from their proven experience in the private sector.

There are various great Acceleration programs out there, many focusing on different stages that Start-Ups are at, or even at specific emerging industries. In addition, most Acceleration programs are obligated to their investors due to the fact that such programs have to make sense economically.

However, as a non-profit, full time volunteering based organization, what makes Momentum unique is that the participating teams are the client, and not the product — Momentum reversed the order of the model.
Pakistan-Israel controversial ties and regional political instability

Since the United States has normalized its connections with Israel at frontier levels, the tensions in the middle eastern region have risen to new highs. Iran has previously shown an aggressive stance against the American-Zionist collaboration and strongly opposed, the American decision of moving its embassy to the disputed city of Jerusalem.

Recently, the move by Arab countries gave red chills to the rest of the Muslim community when they officially normalized their connections with Israel and signed the Abraham accords agreement with the USA as a third party normalizer.

The United Arab Emirates is the third Arab country after Egypt and Jordan to warmly welcomed the new accords with the Jewish state. Bahrain also joined hands with Israeli establishment. Saudi Arabia is also next in a row to normalize its connections with Israel, though they have already established unofficial relations. Because Saudis have an unbreakable clerical history since 1744. And many of those clerics would be critical of what they see as an abandonment of Palestine. Saudi land also a host to two holiest mosques, which are of great significance for Muslims. And its eyes on a great role leading the Muslim community. These factors could be restricting Saudis to officially pave the road for normalization of connections with the Jewish state. But they have corporate ties for a decade with Israeli companies and investors working on multiple projects.

To the world both Saudis and Bahrain have denied any near term normalization move with Israel.

Soldiers in Israel who kill Palestinian kids must be held accountable Joie Cooper ·Dec 19, 2020

I want to express my opinion regarding this article that I read online. A 15-year-old Palestinian Ali Ayman Abu Aliya was shot by Israeli security forces during a protest in Al-Mughayyir by young Palestinians against the construction of an Israeli settlement. According to reports the youths threw stones at Israeli soldiers, who responded by firing rubber-coated metal bullets, tear gas and live ammunition. Even if the kids did that to them, it’s not right to kill an innocent child.

Israel subsequent to consenting to the normalizing arrangement with its Arab neighbors and finishing many years of the political stop has now arranged the ground to dispatch the trans-Israel pipeline venture in tie-up with Arab countries. Washington under the administration of Donald Trump pushed nonaggression treaties among Israel and the Arab world including, United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Morocco, and Sudan. US organization is currently putting forth attempts for building Israeli energy exchange attaches with Oman, Sudan, Morocco, the Palestinian Authority, Saudi Arabia, and Jordan.

Trans-Israel Pipeline (TIPline) pointed toward setting up an energy supply web, zeroing in on moving oil and other energy assets through the pipelines. The leaving pipeline covered a wide stretch going from the Gulf of Aqaba in southern Israel to the Mediterranean port of Ashkelon in the north of the Gaza Strip. Incidentally, TIPline was built in 1968 to move oil to Israeli political opponent, Iran, to evade the Suez Canal course. However, later the Jew country worked together with Russia and utilized it to supply oil to Asian countries.

While speaking broadly about the Israeli energy pipeline plan, US Energy Secretary Daniel Brouillette said on Tuesday, “There has been some acceptable work done … on the development of gas all through the district among Israel and Egypt.

How we founded 5eyes — a VC is born

Chapter 1 — The partnership

To get some fresh ideas, I reached out to my friends (including some I haven’t met for a long while) and met them for coffee or the occasional Hummus. In our meetings, I was getting insights from my friends that helped me clarify what I was interested in doing and mostly what not. My calendar was filling up quite quickly and my Caffeine levels where pretty high at that point. During August 2020, I had an idea for setting up 2 of my friend for a sort of business-wise blind date. While I did not have a clear idea how they can cooperate, there was something about their personalities that I thought could work well together. The three of us met for coffee in a trendy Tel Aviv place named “under the tree”. It was there, that we all felt a connection to each other. Despite the fact that my friends have not met before, they connected and even more than that, the trio of us was just like a band reuniting after not playing together for many years.

A week later and many more coffees, one of my friends pitched us an idea he wanted all three of us to execute together. I don’t think it took us more than a few minutes to commit to it. We decided to create a new company aimed at helping Israeli startups penetrate the US market. Bringing together our mutual experience and strengths, it was looking like the company is gonna be a significant player in the Israeli startup scene.

Maybe it’s the military service or any other reason, but Israeli startups have always been prominent on the global tech scene. Israeli entrepreneurs are great techies, pretty good at sales but their challenges lie mostly in the marketing and strategy areas. We have seen Israeli companies with huge potentials fail to reach them simply due to the fact that they were unable to bridge the gap to their target clients.

While all three of us come from diverse backgrounds, we all experienced this gap first hand and knew that this was a worthy task for us to pursue. We all agreed that our goal is to make a significant impact by helping Israeli startups penetrate global markets.
Thank You For the Best Hannukah Gift

Tags: Trolls, Quora, Israel

So yesterday, I was alerted to the fact that some users on Quora had decided to post hate-speech about me personally, calling me a “little Zionist bitch” and wanting me to be scared.

Modern-Day Maccabees

Scared? Gentlemen, (and I use the term loosely) you don’t have me scared at all. Duck walks are scary. Being put in a rear-naked choke is scary. Drinking Diet Snapple is scary. Internet trolls aren’t scary.

What you mistook as fear is called pity and disappointment at the complete stupidity and evil of the ideas of ethnic cleansing. I’m scared that my country’s army will have to engage in pointless violence, because we have better things to do with our lives, like be Start-Up Nation. We’d really much prefer to make commerce, not war.

But please, don’t make me laugh. You wouldn’t even have the courage to face me in a boxing ring. You’d wet yourselves if you actually met a real Israeli soldier. So instead of making something of your lives, you decide to harass a complete stranger.

I’m not scared of your grandiose dreams of becoming the New Nazis and destroying six million more Jews. I just find it sad you don’t realize your plans of genocide are officially canceled by the existence of a top level army. Move on with your pathetic existence, get an education and try to actually accomplish something positive in your miserable lives.

Still, you made my day. Your hatred honors me. If I’m hated by you, I must be doing something right.

Last night, I lit candles with my Krav Maga class and I thought of the Maccabbees, who fought battles against the greatest military power and won. They were outnumbered, but their courage and intelligence won the day.

Compared to the Seleucids, you guys are a joke. I doubt you could even land a punch on me, let alone take on the state of Israel.

So feel good thinking you scared me. I doubt you’ll accomplish much more in your life, but enjoy your delusions. Thank you for giving me a good laugh. I needed it and it was the perfect Hannukah gift.

3 Bad things about living in Israel after Belarus
By: Dmitry Lokshtanov
Tags: Life, Human Rights, Israel, Life Stile

You can’t get married

Photo by Jon Tyson

The Law of Return is an Israeli law, passed on 5 July 1950, which gives Jews the right to come and live in Israel and to gain Israeli citizenship. Section 1 of the Law of Return declares:

“every Jew has the right to come to this country as an oleh [immigrant].”

In the Law of Return, the State of Israel gave effect to the Zionist movement’s “credo” which called for the establishment of Israel as a Jewish state.

In 1970, the right of entry and settlement was extended to people with one Jewish grandparent and a person who is married to a Jew, whether or not he or she is considered Jewish under Orthodox interpretations of Halakha.

From this, we going on. I’m the grandchild of my grandfather. Not Jewish, not Christian but I could gain Israeli citizenship. In Israel, weddings take place in religious institutions such as the synagogue. And if you are not a Jew by halakha (by your mother), then you cannot marry or get married.

According to Israeli law, only those couples in which both future spouses or Jews or both do not belong to any religion can marry on the territory of our country. Mixed couples must register their marriage abroad.

This is my third bad thing about Israel.

Etti Peretz (right) with one of the recipients of the winter care packages for the elderly in Beit Shemesh

Over the course of the Chanukah holiday, United Hatzalah’s Ten Kavod (giving honor) project teamed up with the Ner Levi non-profit and the municipality of Beit Shemesh and distributed winter packages containing blankets and warm clothing to senior citizens in the city.

The distribution of the packages to the elderly citizens of the city was organized and spearheaded by Etti Peretz, who heads the Ten Kavod project for United Hatzalah in the city. As part of the project, Etti organizes emergency medical service volunteers to visit with the elderly once a week and provide them with free basic medical checkups and a social visit in their homes.

Another package being delivered by a United Hatzalah Ten Kavod volunteer

The winter packages consisted of a warm blanket, emergency lights, a quilt, a portable heater, warm sheets, and a Chanukah gift package consisting of a menorah and candles.

At the end of the distribution throughout the city, Peretz, together with United Hatzalah Chapter Head Dovid Leff and a representative from Ner Levi, Heftzi Roblin, went to the home of the Grossman family where the couple invited the volunteers in, in order to say thank you, light candles with them, and regale them with stories from their past.

Another happy recipient of the package that included a heater, sheets, warm blankets, emergency lights, and a warm quilt

Peretz spoke about the importance of the project: “In spite of the challenges imposed upon us by the Coronavirus, the project of providing winter care packages to the elderly in the city took place this Chanukah thanks to the donations of the Ner Levi organization. It was particularly inspiring for me to visit with two of the recipients, a couple who are Holocaust survivors who told us stories of how they celebrated the holiday in the Ghetto many years ago and how happy they are to be celebrating this year with the dedicated volunteers of United Hatzalah’s Ten Kavod project. We are thankful to be able to warm both the hearts and bodies of the elderly throughout the city during this wonderful holiday of giving.”

Director of the Ten Kavod project and head of Volunteer Development Department of United Hatzalah Ariel Ben David praised the volunteers for their efforts in distributing the packages and assisting the elderly in the city. Ben David added: “Ten Kavod’s mission is to enhance the lives of the elderly all across Israel. Our trained volunteers visit participants weekly to ensure they are being taken care of and supervised medically on a regular basis and to provide them with a sense of emotional support and friendship in order to alleviate the sensation of loneliness that many elderly people feel.”

A dangerous statement by an innocent child

Beirut, 16 December 2020 — The Lebanese child appearing in this video lives right on Lebanon’s border with Israel. He is complaining that his chicken crossed the border fence and the Israeli soldiers took it. He definitely wasn’t afraid as they started shooting in the air when he tried to run after it, and he is defiantly demanding the return of his chicken.

This demand should be addressed by no less than the Israeli Prime Minister by returning the boy’s chicken, and if the Israeli soldiers had eaten it, reparations must be paid to the boy in the form of ten chicken as a sign that Israel is willing to deal fairly and equitably.

In honor of

Hannah Szenes

Long ago, in a place too far for the imagination to even contemplate, there was a Thought. Supremely quiet. In this Thought was the perfection, the salvation, the unity, and the glory. I was not able to consider this Thought, but it lived deep within me. And in this Thought was life. The True Life that could never die.

Even while they pilloried me, tied me to the pillar, and tried to kill me, I could not die. Yet, my life was lost you say. But I held onto the Thought I cannot explain, a belief I cannot articulate, and a language speaking in me.

בְּרֵאשִׁית בָּרָא אֱלֹהִים אֵת הַשָּׁמַיִם וְאֵת הָאָרֶץ

In the Beginning, I was in the bosom of the Almighty, the Lord God, the Blessed One, the Perfection. Once I knew at that moment that I never left, everything that mattered was realized. There was nothing that could be done to me because I was beyond words, beyond action, beyond hate, and beyond substance. I was in the Presence of Something that is beyond Everything because it created Everything and is Beyond anything we can know because its Essence is unknowable. Once this Thought dominated me, Death no longer held any meaning.

רוּחַ אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה, עָלָי — יַעַן מָשַׁח יְהוָה אֹתִי לְבַשֵּׂר עֲנָוִים, שְׁלָחַנִי לַחֲבֹשׁ לְנִשְׁבְּרֵי-לֵב, לִקְרֹא לִשְׁבוּיִם דְּרוֹר, וְלַאֲסוּרִים פְּקַח-קוֹחַ.

Israel Respects Gay Rights; the Palestinians Do Not
By: Camera On Campus
Tags: Zionism, LGBTQ, Gay, Israel, Palestine

By Aidan Segal, 2020–2021 CAMERA on Campus Fellow

The University of Pittsburgh’s chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) held a meeting in October on the topic of “pinkwashing” — the accusation that Israel exploits the LGBTQ+ community to propagandize a progressive image of the country, and to obscure the reality that Israel is allegedly an apartheid state.

Pinkwashing is one of many false narratives manufactured by anti-Israel organizations. Like any country, Israel is not perfect and not without prejudice; but it strives to be a beacon of freedom for all its inhabitants. In a region hardly brimming with liberal democracies, Israel “adamantly protects the rights of its gay citizens, and the LGBT community is represented in the highest echelons and in all facets of Israeli society.”

Israel celebrates the community not to appear progressive, but because it truly respects gay rights, and has an uncanny level of support for the LGBT+ community.

The founder of modern Zionism, Theodor Herzl, wrote that a Jewish state would be a positive force not only for Jews, but “for the good of humanity.” Nothing could be more true for the prosperous LGBTQ+ community in Israel, though anti-Zionist activists such as adherents to the BDS movement insist that an ulterior motive is at play.

The BDS movement claims that “Israel’s pinkwashing agenda seeks to portray itself as a fun-loving gay haven while using racist stereotypes to depict Palestinians as backward.”

In reality, there are no civil rights protections for LGBTQ+ people in the territories controlled by the Palestinian Authority and Hamas, which has prompted hundreds of gay Palestinians to flee to Israel for fear of persecution.

Can Israel Become the First Country to Vaccinate All of Its High-Risk People?

The first shipment of coronavirus vaccines arrives in Israel. Photo: Amos Ben Gershom/Israeli GPO

It’s not every day that a leader of a country is standing on the tarmac patiently waiting for a cargo plane full of boxes to be unpacked. On Wednesday, December 9, the Israeli prime minister did just that. “I have been serving as prime minister for quite a few years,” said Benjamin Netanyahu, “and this is one of the most moving moments. … We are seeing the end of the pandemic. This is a great day for Israel.” Netanyahu then announced that he will be the first Israeli to receive the vaccine, made by Pfizer and BioNTech, in order to set a personal example and boost confidence among Israelis.

While some criticized Netanyahu, claiming he’s trying to turn the arrival of the vaccines into a PR stunt, the excitement is understandable. Israel has been through a very complicated battle with the coronavirus. The country managed to end the first wave with a relatively low number of infections and deaths only to become the first country in the world to go into a second full shutdown. As cases currently continue to rise, Israel will soon be going through another set of restrictions. Israelis, same as anybody else, really want this pandemic to be over.

In the next few months, Israel is due to receive millions of vaccine doses. It signed a deal for six million doses with Moderna, it signed a deal for eight million doses with Pfizer, it signed a deal for 10 million doses with AstraZeneca, and it even went as far as purchasing the Russian “Sputnik V” vaccine. Meanwhile, Israel is also working on a vaccine of its own with human trials already ongoing. There are nine million people in Israel; it’s fully covered.

While millions of vaccine doses are due to arrive in the next three months, Israel is preparing to start the vaccination process. The vaccination campaign will start on December 27, and the goal is to administer 60,000 vaccinations every day. Israel was waiting for the Food and Drug Administration approval and is still waiting to see the initial results from the U.K.’s process before moving forward, but Israeli authorities are putting a lot of hope into the vaccines. Those who will receive a jab will get a “green passport” that allows free movement and fewer restrictions.

Israel has been through a very complicated battle with the coronavirus. The country managed to end the first wave with a relatively low number of infections and deaths only to become the first country in the world to go into a second full shutdown. As cases currently continue to rise, Israel will soon be going through another set of restrictions. Israelis, same as anybody else, really want this pandemic to be over.

So the big news of the day is setting up the Patreon page of my Israel-Palestine peace forum, Unity is Strength, to receive donations. It will take a few hundred dollars to file this thing as a nonprofit, and that is what I need to do to unlock the small grant I got from Sustainable Israeli-Palestinian Projects (SIPP). Then with the SIPP grant, we get their sponsorship for community events. We’ve got special perks for the donors, including merch at the higher tiers. Merch is just fun. I love merch. Walking around in a T-shirt or a hoodie that says Unity is Strength, especially after the pandemic subsides and people will see me, I really get to show this community off. And one of the SWEETEST writers on our forum, N. AR, just became the first donor. It’s giving season and for the price of a latte every month, you too can really be a supporter of the community.

NETANYAHU FIRST TO TAKE COVID VACCINE AND WHY?

Yes, it is true the Prime Minister Netanyahu first to take pfizer corona virus vaccine in Israel.

Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declares he will be the first to get the corona virus vaccine after the pfizer inoculation arrives in israel. He say’s for him to queue jump as it will give Israelis the confidence to take it.

Mass immunisations are set to begin on 27 December 2020 after Israeli health authorities give the final go ahead.

Netanyahu pledges 60,000 Israelis will be a vaccinated a day.

I hope the free vaccine will be available all over the world as soon as possible.

Despite President Trump’s optimism about the coronavirus vaccine, his administration refused to order additional vaccine rounds from Pfizer when given the opportunity a few months ago, leaving the United States behind other countries that have concluded agreements.

The F.D.A. could approve the Pfizer vaccine, created in collaboration with the German company BioNTech, this week. But the United States has pledged just 100 million doses of the vaccine, enough to cover 50 million people, or less than one in six Americans.
Reports say that AI-operated satellite-controlled weapons were used to destroy Iranian scientists.

Recent inquiries have suggested that the Iranian nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh was killed by a satellite-controlled machine gun powered by artificial intelligence, according to a recent study. Fakhrizadeh, who was assassinated last month, was a top scientist in the Islamic Republic who worked on a classified nuclear weapons programme for Iran.On Sunday, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps deputy commander told Iranian media that Fakhrizadeh was attacked while he was driving with 11 guards on a highway outside Tehran on November 27.

Rear Admiral Ali Fadavi told the Mehr news agency that at 13 rounds of machine gun, which was “zoomed in” in him and “controlled online” by satellite, Iranian scientist was shot. Fadavi added that the degree of precision was such that the wife of Fakhrizadeh, who was sitting with him just inches apart, avoided some harm. Fadavi said the machine gun was mounted on a Nissan pick-up truck and a “advanced camera and artificial intelligence” was used to conduct the attack.

While the Iranian authorities were still unable to nail the killer, they were pointing their fingers at Israel because the guns discovered on the spot had been “made in Israel” President Hassan Rouhani said last week that he believed the killing was the fault of the Jewish government.

He said the operation was directed by Israel, serving as a “mercenary” for the US. If real, it would be the Trump administration’s second high-profile killing, after assassinating Iran’s top general, Qassem Soleimani, in an airstrike earlier this year.

It was not the first time that rival nations targeted Iranian scientists, but rather the fifth assassination of a nuclear scientist from the Islamic Republic since 2010. Israel did not elaborate on the claims, but intelligence reports revealed that in a power-point presentation on Iran’s nuclear programme in April 2018, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was named after the scientist.
Reports guarantee satellite-controlled firearm worked through AI used to murder Iranian researcher

As indicated by an ongoing report, most recent examinations implied that the Iranian atomic researcher, Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, was executed through a satellite-controlled automatic rifle, which was fueled by computerized reasoning. Fakhrizadeh, who was killed a month ago, was the Islamic Republic’s top researcher, who had been chipping away at Iran’s mystery atomic weapons program. On Sunday, the representative authority of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps told Iranian media that Fakhrizadeh was focused on when he was driving on an interstate external Tehran with 11 watchmen on November 27.

Back Admiral Ali Fadavi told the Mehr news organization that an Iranian researcher was shot at 13 rounds of an automatic rifle which was “zoomed in” in him and “controlled on the web” by satellite. Fadavi added that the degree of precision was with the end goal that Fakhrizadeh’s better half, who sitting alongside him just inches away, got away from any injury. Fadavi said that the automatic rifle was set on a Nissan to get truck and the assault was executed through a “progressed camera and man-made reasoning”.

Despite the fact that Iranian specialists have still not had the option to nail who drove the death, however, have been pointing fingers towards Israel in light of the fact that the weapons found on the spot, had “made in Israel” on them. A week ago, President Hassan Rouhani said that he accepted the Jewish country was answerable for the execution. He said that Israel drove the activity going about as a “hired fighter” for the US. Assuming valid, it would be the second prominent killing by the Trump organization, subsequent to killing Iranian top general Qassem Soleimani in an airstrike, recently.

It was not the first run-through, rival countries focused on Iranian researchers, it was fairly the fifth death of the Islamic Republic’s atomic researcher since 2010. Israel hasn’t remarked on the claims, yet insight reports demonstrated that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had the researcher’s name in a force point introduction on Iran’s atomic program in April 2018.
