KoB sends in the news that the USS Nimitz is headed back to the gulf as Iran threatens retaliation for their top mad scientist being killed (allegedly by Israel, which admittedly is highly likely).<\/p>\n

USS Nimitz ordered back to Persian Gulf after Iran’s supreme leader threatens revenge over slain scientist<\/h3>\n

On Saturday, the Pentagon announced that it has sent the USS Nimitz aircraft carrier back to the Middle East, citing the drawdown of U.S. forces in Iraq and Afghanistan. As a symbol of American military might, the carrier might also prove a deterrent to any aggression from Iran.<\/p>\n

Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who called the slain man “the country’s prominent and distinguished nuclear and defensive scientist,” said Iran\u2019s first priority was the \u201cdefinitive punishment of the perpetrators and those who ordered it.\u201d He did not elaborate.<\/p>\n

Speaking at a meeting of his government\u2019s coronavirus task force earlier Saturday, President Hassan Rouhani blamed Israel for the killing.<\/p>\n

Rouhani said Fakhrizadeh\u2019s death would not stop Iran’s nuclear program, underscoring a statement by Khamenei. Iran\u2019s civilian nuclear program has continued its experiments and now enriches uranium up to 4.5%, far below weapons-grade levels of 90%.<\/p>\n

But analysts have said Fakhrizadeh is on par with Robert Oppenheimer, the scientist who led the Manhattan Project to develop the atomic bomb during World War II.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will respond to the assassination of Martyr Fakhrizadeh in a proper time,\u201d Rouhani said. \u201cThe Iranian nation is smarter than falling into the trap of the Zionists. They are thinking to create chaos.\u201d<\/p>\n

Friday\u2019s attack happened in Absard, a village just east of the capital that is a retreat for the Iranian elite. Iranian state television said an old truck with explosives hidden under a load of wood blew up near a sedan carrying Fakhrizadeh.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

My favorite part of the article, which is about 2\/3rd commentary and 1\/3rd reporting, is;<\/p>\n

The roadside attack, which bore the hallmarks of a carefully planned, military-style ambush, threatens to further escalate tensions between the United States and Iran in the waning days of President Trump\u2019s term and creates new complications for President-elect Joe Biden.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yes,\u00a0this <\/strong><\/em>is increasing tensions. It’s not Iran building nuclear weapons. It’s not Iran being a sponsor of terrorist organizations. It’s not Iran threatening numerous sovereign states in the region or backing rebels fighting in one of them.<\/p>\n

Thank God that by this time next year we’ll be back in the Iranian appeasement program. Then we can go back to\u00a0real\u00a0<\/em>international security under a strong, sharp, and charismatic leader like Joe “Hands” Biden.<\/p>\n
