Iron Dome wil deter rocket launchings? Prevent the repetition of rocket caused conflict? Is he kidding? The terrorists just have to launch a volley big enough so the system can't intercept them all. They just need to wait until they have enough rockets and fire them! There is a limit on Iron Dome counter rocket munition. The claim is ridiculous.

It looks like it was a bit of internal score settling, coupled with the good old "blame Israel for all the trouble" diversion tactic. My earlier comment jumped the gun a bit.

At the moment, it sounds more like Massoud Mohammadi was a theoretical particle physicist who voiced some muted support for the opposition. So far there hasn't been any indiction that he's the type that Mossad would hit. It's still early, but I think it was more likely the regime:

Saw the article about the exploding Iranian scientist in the Washington Post this morning and immediately thought it had to be Mossad. Thought I'd drop by IsraellyCool (it's been too long) and offer my congrats. Glad to see we share the same suspicions. Apologies that the US probably wasn't nearly as involved as Iran seems to think.

Re 12:00pm – Targeted Intelligence? If Israel had anything to do with it, and he was involved in the Weapons program, well done.
