Terror in Tehran
The government of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad blames Zionists for infiltrating his country and blowing up nuclear scientists in the nation’s capital. Security must be fairly weak to have that happen, don’t you think?
Then there is a counter theory that assassinations are orchestrated by the government itself to gin up support among students where the community is not in favor of the government. But, why would the government blow up such assets?
Most likely, it is the resistance movement inside Iran. It’s never a good thing to have public violence unless it is people fighting directly for the their freedom and the target is clearly identified as the enemy.
What goes there? I must check WikiLeaks, I guess, or the New York Times.
“Iranian nuclear scientist killed, another injured in Tehran bombings
Washington Post Foreign Service
Monday, November 29, 2010; 10:37 AMTEHRAN - A prominent Iranian nuclear scientist was killed Monday and a second was seriously wounded in nearly simultaneous car bomb attacks in the Iranian capital, the semiofficial Fars news agency reported.
The explosions, which took place near Shahid Beheshti University, are the latest in a string of recent assassination attempts in which five doctors and professors have been killed in Tehran.
Iranian authorities blamed agents of Israel and the United States for the killings, saying they want to cause chaos in the country. But leading figures in Iran'sopposition movement accused the government of plotting the attacks in order to spread fear in the capital, where many oppose the regime of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
"Undoubtedly the hand of the Zionist regime and Western governments is involved" in the attacks, Ahmadinejad told reporters in a news conference. He said the bombings would not stop Iran from pursuing its nuclear program.”

With the new revelation that a computer virus was installed at nuclear facilities it could be the government of Iran killing two birds with one stone. Incite students to support government and get rid of the spies who installed the virus.
This is a theory apart from the obvious options.

The recent terror attacks could not be false flag operations,who could benefit from these acts?That is the question which crops us in mind.If state wanted to terrorize peole,explosive devices would have been at public places,where number of casualities would have been higher.Targetting selected academics or scientists won't generate fear.These professors and scietists could have been targetted by the state if they were opposed to Iranian establishment.So far that is not known.Role of Mossad,CIA and Saudi intelligence can not be ruled out.In the past Mossad was involved in assassination of some nuclear scientists."Operation Sphinx ended spectacularly on June,7,1981 ........But that came only after years of international intrigue,diplomacy,sabotage and assassinations orchesterated by Mossad had delayed construction of the plant,though ultimately failing to stop it".-By Way OF Deception,Victor Ostrovsky and Claire Hoy.Victor Ostrovsky was a Mossad officer.Saudi Arabia is actively supporting anti Iranian forces and as Wikileaks revealed King Abdullah urged his permanent master,U.S.to destroy Iran's nuclear facilities.Even one servant,more loyal than the master, said"bomb Iran or live with Iranian bomb.

WikiLeaks Reveals Iran's Secret, Worldwide Arms Hunt
at 01:39 on November 30th, 2010
Iran's hunt for arms is in response to distress over Iran(Wikileaks).The Middle-Eastern rats,King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia,Mohammad Bin Zaid of Abudhabi,defence cheif are always out of holes either in darkness or under protection of US empire,are urging US to attack Iran and destroy its nuclear facilities.Iran's hunt for arms must be looked into this background.Iran was never a threat to regional stability.The Iranian revolution,although theocratic in nature,and threat by Late Ayotullah Khomini to export revolution caused maximum panic among Arab monarchs,Sheikhs and ruling families.They all felt threatened,not by an armed attack by Iran but revolutionary ideas which Khoumini promised to export.In response to a comment by The1,I stated that once sale of arms is stopped,every region would acheive stability and prosperity.Merchants of death and destruction will keep on selling and buying arms,imperiling human race.To sell arms,insecurity must be first sold.Nation states are potential buyers of insecurity to justify purchase of arms,keeping large section of population under perpetual poverty and hunger and illiteracy.India and Pakistan,the former aspiring to becoame regional super power with imperial designs,the later,a miserably failed state,surviving on foreign aid,never stop buying arms.
Demand for drones,even by a puny state like Pakistan,UAE,a protectorate of US empire,has gone up(Wikileaks).

There's a little more going on in the world today than any of those 'idealist, naive, introverted, or confused' approach or comments suggest.
As per the topic being discussed, that 'President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad blames Zionists for infiltrating his country and blowing up nuclear scientists in the nation’s capital'.
Maybe genius Ahmadinejad should look in the mirror for the answer to that.

How US empire sold concept of insecurity wrapped in collective security go through propaganda in the middle-east,the early cold war version.

Read,if you can spare time from reading propaganda material,"Selling Sickness"by Ray Moynihan and Allan Cassels.Pharmaceutical giants first sell sickness,then expensive medicines.That too is in the interest of nation's health.
