assassinating

Mossad “has been conducting covert operations on Iranian soil for three decades, poisoning supply chains, sabotaging nuclear facilities and centrifuges, carrying out cyberattacks and assassinating nuclear scientists.”

Israel began its attacks, targeting nuclear and military sites as well as assassinating commanders and scientists, in Iran on 13 June, claiming Tehran was close to building a nuclear weapon.

And Israel is also striking "sources of knowledge" by assassinating, so far, at least nine nuclear scientists and a growing list of top military commanders.

Israel has struck dozens of targets across Iran, damaging the uranium enrichment plant at Natanz and assassinating top military commanders and nuclear scientists in Tehran.

It was a world where a man would propose assassinating politicians, only to spark a debate about logistics.
