EA on BBC: An Assassination in Iran; Biden’s Foreign Policy

Posted by Scott Lucas | Nov 29, 2020 | 1

I spoke on Saturday with BBC Radio Scotland about the latest developments inside Iran, and about a Biden Administration foreign policy towards Iran, the Middle East, and other parts of the world.

First, I update on the killing of the Iranian nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, probably organized by Israel.

Then Dr. Julie Norman of University College London and I discuss the possibilities and challenges for President-elect Joe Biden and his top officials, including with respect Israel-Palestine, Russia, China, and Europe.

Mohsen Fakhrizadeh right now in iri is being toted as the nuclear and missile technologies expert, they have been repeating this all day. What “peaceful nuclear” has to do with missiles?
While nod of approval to any loss of human life is never ok, not even execution of convicts, I’m fine with taking out characters like this “nuclear expert” if he was who they say he was. You play with fire you burn with fire. Right now iri has three terrorists on trial in Belgium, when do you want to understand? You are dealing with a terrorist regime.
