In an interview with the Iranian state media this weekend, Iran’s Deputy Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Brigadier General Massoud Jazayeri promised retaliation against “supporters of state terrorism” related to the assassination of an Iranian scientist.
Insisting Iran would “hold the US, Britain and the Zionist regime (Israel) accountable” for the killing, Brig. Gen. Jazayeri promised a “punitive response” at some unspecified future date.
The assassination of Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan last week led to an angry response from the Iranian government, which says they have “reliable documents and evidence that this terrorist act was planned, guided and supported by the CIA.”
Assassinations of scientists inside Iran has become a favored tactic in recent months, though officials have largely publicly denied that they are directly involved. Interestingly, the tactic has gained considerable political traction among several Republican presidential nominees in the US, who say that such killings are laudable.

Beause NOBODY can 'bang a gong and get it on', like a Republican presidential nominee. (prospective candidate?)
Ummm, we probably should not forget the silly dingbat @ CNN who seems to think political assassination is ever so keen.
ever seen cnn was taken over by english journalists the standard has gone down jsut like invasion of al jareeza by enghlish so called journalists. all bbc and enlgish journalists are british spies working to wreck other nations. such journalists must eb treated as enemy combatants and given suitable treastment.
This is exactly the kind of response that has been the whole point of their terrorist war in Iran. They don't give a damn about nuclear programs or Islam, they just use them as tools to try and provoke a response so they can start the overt war already. As soon as Syria collapses and Hezbollah has been neutralized, it will begin. On that note, if they don't get some air power operating over Syria soon I doubt their Coup D'etat will succeed. "AQ" militants have already been running around the Bekaa Valley laying the groundwork for the coming flanking maneuver.
The very fact that the US president openly claims the power to have people executed at his whimsey alledged Terrorists MUST mean that other Presidents and Governments have that same Authority. What the US must remember is that the actions made by their spies and agents provocatuers are in fact in other countries State Sponsored Terrorism and subject themselves to assasination.
Since when is holding a nation's leaders accountable for that nation's actions a 'threat'?
If an 'agent of a foreign nation' car-bombed a US nuclear scientist, how long do you think it would take for the act to A) be pinned on Iran, and/or B) Labeled as 'terrorism? Even if the bomber was Joe the Plumber from Hoboken, who had a gripe about his taxes and decided to take it out on someone and just at random happened to knock off the hypothetical scientist, how long do you think it would be before he was either A) a mentally unstable loner who was abused in grade school, and/or B) a 'sleeper' for Al-Qaeda and/or the Taliban?
I suspect the answer to ALL the questions might be: about five minutes.
If it were Jews being assassinated, the entire world would be condemned for allowing it to happen.
The US should ask that the ‘credible evidence’ be made available or public. As it insists on its innocence such evidence might prove inadequate, or, yet another false flag by our so-called ally Israel. Reasons for not doing this indicates either involvement or a continued pattern of keeping from Americans the truth of the criminality of the zionist regime. President Johnson decided that the lives of 34 American Navymen had no value compared to his reliance on Jewsih political contributions. Who is to say the same is not true today?
The same is abundantly, comprehensively true, but at any moment I'm expecting the worm to turn.
The public — not yet the political class — already is well on its way to seeing Israel for the duplicitous manipulator that it is, and seeing the "special relationship" — ya gotta love the artful deceit hidden in that phrase — for what it is: focused subversion of US political leadership through campaign contribution bribery, and the ruthless exploitation of the US nation and people.
Oddly, even as they commit these offenses, the Zionists seem to care not at all that they are utterly dependent on the US for their survival. Possibly they turn away from this explosive truth. Some Israelis even strenuously deny it. Out of pride certainly, but more, I suspect out of fear of acknowledging to the US the depth of their dependency, (which would empower the US to be more assertive. Can't have that).
When enough voters see the truth the politicians will have no choice but to join them and return to the practice of serving US rather than Israeli interests. Can't come soon enough for me.
Don't bother. Nobody cares about "credible evidence" one way or the other. The whole point of Israel's killing of Iranian nuke scientists is to goad Iran into firing missiles first and starting a real war. If this incident doesn't do the trick, there will be more and more until they do.
If you're going to write that Republican candidates have lauded the killings you need to provide names and quotes.
Okay. But you could do a little research and see if it is true. I am sure this is in the public domain. Since politicians are always trying to appeal to the worst instincts in the mob, you'd undoubtedly find what you would be seeking if you chose to verify the charge – unless there is a total absence of such statements, which would make it a fool's errand. You'd have to wait a few minutes.
Targeting a scientist pales in comparison to Iran's embassy bombings and hostage taking.
You better think before you are talking!
It would be very easy to kill ten or more famous US or Israeli scientists at an international meeting
and not only in the US, also in Europe. Do you really think you and your people want to go that way down the road??
Sure they do. Because everyone would soon forget the dead Iranian and focus on the attack on civilization itself. Whoever did it, be it genuine or false flag, it would reap enormous benefits for war-mongers. Killing an Iranian so brazenly? A small budget item. Getting them to strike back? Priceless.
But the goal is war because Iran sells oil for other than dollars and can see thru the Zionist ambitions. Oil must be sold for counterfeit dollars to keep this counterfeit economy going, Iraq and Libya tried selling for other than dollars as well and look what it got them. It goes like this Thesis ( a country at political peace) Anti-thesis (a country in political turmoil) synthesis ( the type of government that evolves from the turmoil). Iran never invaded anybody. Everything Iran is doing is defensive. The US, NATO and Zionist israel are the offensive countries.
Really, so the US terrorist policies against Iran for thirty years is not harsh? or shooting down a Iranian passenger jet over Iranian terrirtory is not monsterous?? The US and Israel have made it a policy to terroize Iran for being an independent, and soveriegn country FREE of US hegemony. If they respond in kind to US/Israeli terror then so be it. The US and Israel deserve every brutal blow that is coming to them!!
Taking an entire country hostage — coup against Mossadegh in '53 — turning it over to a brutal dictator and looting it for 27 years pales in comparison to anything Iran has ever done.
And — not to let your utter bullsh*t pass — what embassy bombings? Iran has bombed no embassies. It's typical of criminals and their supporters such as yourself to just flat out make sh*t up. Another Zionist killer/thief/liar.
The Republican and most of the government of America are liers and terrorists.
"On occasion, scientists working on the nuclear program in Iran turn up dead. I think that's a wonderful thing, candidly," said Rick Santorum addressing an election campaign in Greenville, South Carolina.
He added that, "I think we should send a very clear message that if you are a scientist from Russia, North Korea, or from Iran and you are going to work on a nuclear program to develop a bomb for Iran, you are not safe.”

This should be addressed to Sagacious who wanted names and quotes.
Romney has apparently been more careful. In the Bush mode, he's letting his supporters and advisers/future cabinet officials like Bolton run around complaining that such assassinations are only 'half-measures'.
And, one fascinating thing about running such google searches is that they instead lead to many articles and discussions of various Republicans talking about 'terrorism' from the silly and ridiculous fake story last year of the Iranians supposedly trying to assassinate a Saudi ambassador. It buts the crazy double-standard of the war party (Repub and Dem) on full display
He added that, "I think we should send a very clear message that if you are a scientist from Russia, North Korea, or from Iran and you are going to work on a nuclear program to develop a bomb for Iran, you are not safe.” '
I wonder if he has ever commented on the Israel people who are employed keeping the 300 plus nuclear bombs ready to drop on western nations if they cut the welfare for the chosen?
So the US, England, israel manage to regularly kill scientists inside Iran, but they can't sit with the Iranian government and solve their differences, say, diplomatically?
Yep. It's just so much easier to snuff out some unarmed, near-sighted geeks and pretend you are saving the world from a nuclear Iran which will drop a bomb on a country which has a sacred city all Moslems consider their own.
Sounds like another "false flag" operation by the Israelis leaving a littered trail to falsely blame the CIA for Mossad's actions. Their aim continues to get Iran to retaliate against American assets in the area, and then Israel has their war pitting the US/NATO against another enemy of Israel so that there is no roadblock to theire continued expansionism and the treatment of their Palestinian people like the Germans treated the Jews in the 30's.
During the run up to WW11, FDR put an embargo on Japan's oil supplies. For three months no oil got to Japan. This was starting to cripple Japan which lead to their attacking Pearl Harbor. FDR was buddy buddy with Satlin and by forcing war with Japan he could divert Japan from a war with Russia which was a real possibility. FDR also used America's involvement to solve the depression.
Fast forward. The US with it's puppets in NATO and the Zionist running Israel are doing the same thing. "The only thing new is the hstory you haven't read yet". Iran will probably "start" the war but in reality Iran is forced to go to war. The propaganda machines will tell the masses, as it did when
Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, Iran attacked first. They'll buy it and a lot of American soldiers will become collateral to the agenda of the Zionist and politicians in America with an eye to the road to America's empire, or as Bush said, "A new World Order"
Why is Israel developing ICBMs ??? They already made it known that they could nuke most of Europe! So now i guess they are putting America on notice. When will the American people wake up?…..Answere NEVERRRRRRR!
Why do they hate us?
They hate us for our DEEDS.
I thought it was for our Freedom Fries.
