There is no other original or confirmation reporting on this story.\u00a0\u00a0\u201cIranian nuclear scientist killed by one-ton automated gun in Israeli hit: Jewish Chronicle,\u201d<\/a> Stephen Farrell, Reuters, February 10, 2021.\u00a0\u00a0\u201cThe Iranian nuclear scientist assassinated near Tehran in November was killed by a one-ton gun smuggled into Iran in pieces by the Israeli intelligence agency Mossad, according to a report by The Jewish Chronicle on Wednesday.\u00a0Citing intelligence sources, the British weekly said a team of more than 20 agents, including Israeli and Iranian nationals, carried out the ambush on scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh after eight months of surveillance. Reuters was not immediately able to confirm the report, which was published on the website of the London-based newspaper. \u2026 Giving no further details of its sourcing, the world\u2019s oldest Jewish newspaper said the Mossad mounted the automated gun on a Nissan pickup and that \u201cthe bespoke weapon, operated remotely by agents on the ground as they observed the target, was so heavy because it included a bomb that destroyed the evidence after the killing.\u201d It said the attack was carried out \u201cby Israel alone, without American involvement\u201d but that U.S. officials were given some form of notice beforehand.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSocially-distanced Iran parades on wheels, not feet, to recall 1979 revolution,\u201d<\/a> Parisa Hafezi, Reuters, February 10, 2021.\u00a0 \u201cState television showed live footage of cars, motorcycles and bicycles moving through the streets of dozens of cities and towns where normally tens of thousands of people march at the annual event. Despite the switch to wheel-bound forms of parade, the ceremony\u2019s sentiments remained unchanged. Participants waved Iranian flags and signs that read \u201cDeath to America\u201d and \u201cDeath to Israel\u201d – trademark slogans of the Islamic revolution that toppled the U.S.-backed Shah.\u201d<\/p>\n

When the view is adopted that the Supreme Leader speaks for Allah, \u2026\u00a0 Thus, \u201cthe IRGC\u2019s links with its proxies are rooted in a radicalized shared worldview, with these groups fully adopting Tehran\u2019s ideology of Wilayat Al-Faqih, which grants Iran\u2019s supreme leader absolute authority over Shiite Muslims. This fervent ideological and religious affiliation means that Tehran can expect undying dedication to its deadly causes from groups aligned with the IRGC.\u201d\u00a0 See \u201cA new study on the Middle East takes the wraps off Iran\u2019s militia doctrine,\u201d<\/a> Charlie Peters, Arab News, February 10, 2021.<\/p>\n
