Like ‘Mad King George’: Adviser describes Trump muttering ‘I won, I won’ Washington Post report details president’s state of mind in aftermath of election as he continues to deny defeat, surrounding himself with those who tell him what he wants to hear-By TOI staff and AP-Today, 5:29 am-nov 30,20

US President Donald Trump has reportedly spent the last few weeks since the election continuing to deny his loss, surrounded by those who only tell him what he wants to hear, with one adviser comparing him to “Mad King George.”He’s like “Mad King George, muttering, ‘I won. I won. I won,’” the Washington Post, in an in-depth look at Trump’s state of mind, quoted one close adviser as saying.The report, which was based on interviews with 32 people close to Trump, including senior administration officials, campaign aides and other advisers, describes how aides were happy to confirm Trump’s views despite his clear loss.They were “happy to scratch his itch,” the report quoted the adviser as saying. “If he thinks he won, it’s like, ‘Shh… we won’t tell him.’ ”But the report also detailed how Trump’s sycophants went too far, including lawyers Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell who alleged that there was a conspiracy to rig the election led by Venezuelan leader Hugo Chávez, who died seven years ago.A press conference they held was mainly noted for Giuliani appearing to leak hair color down both sides of his face.Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani speaks to the press about various lawsuits related to the 2020 election, inside the Republican National Committee headquarters in Washington, November 19, 2020. (Drew Angerer/Getty Images/AFP)-Trump thought the presentation made him “look like a joke,” one campaign official who discussed it with him told the Post. Powell was dismissed soon after.The report also detailed the problems caused to Republicans who refused to confirm his allegations of election fraud.Trump continued with those attacks on Sunday, saying he was “ashamed” for endorsing the Republican governor of Georgia after he lost in the state to Democrat Joe Biden.Trump has seethed over losing the southern state, which hadn’t voted for a Democrat for president in nearly 30 years. In January, the state will decide whether the GOP retains control of the US Senate when voters decide two run-off Senate races.Trump said on Fox News that Governor Brian Kemp has “done absolutely nothing” to question the state’s results. Trump has made baseless accusations that illegal votes cost him the election in Georgia and beyond. His legal challenges have failed in several states.US President Donald Trump talks with Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp and his wife Marty, right, Sen. David Perdue, Republican of Georgia, center, and Sen.

(AP Photo/Evan Vucci)-Trump backed Kemp’s campaign in 2018, boasting that his “full endorsement” helped him edge rising Democrat Stacey Abrams.In this month’s presidential contest in the state, Biden beat Trump by about 12,670 votes.Democrats hope for two other upset victories in twin Senate races on January 5 against Republican office holders. That would deny Republicans their majority, keeping the GOP with 50 seats, while Vice President-elect Kamala Harris would be available for tie-breaking votes.

Israel-Lebanon maritime border talks postponed amid impasse-Announcement comes after Jerusalem accused Beirut of changing its stance in negotiations; both sides said to continue to meet with US mediators-By TOI staff and Agencies-NOV 30,20-Today, 12:56 pm

A source with the Lebanese military said Monday that an upcoming round of border talks with Israel due this week had been postponed.News of the postponement of the session scheduled to take place on Wednesday came after Israel accused Lebanon of changing its stance in the negotiations.“We were officially informed of the postponing of the indirect round of negotiations,” a Lebanese military source told AFP, adding that the request had been made by the US, which is brokering the talks.The announcement came as talks between representatives from the two countries on the maritime border appeared to reach a stalemate in recent days.A Lebanese source told the Reuters news agency that despite the delay, mediators from the United States would continue contacts with both sides.An unnamed Israeli official confirmed the delay to Reuters but gave no further details.The countries, which remain technically at war, opened negotiations on the border dispute under US and UN auspices last month to clear the way for offshore oil and gas exploration.Israel has since accused Lebanon of changing its position in talks on their maritime border and warned it could lead to a “dead end” that would be damaging for the whole region.Israel and Lebanon have been negotiating based on a map registered with the United Nations in 2011, which shows an 860-square-kilometer (330-square-mile) patch of sea as being disputed.But Lebanon considers that map to have been based on wrong estimates.Lebanese President Michel Aoun speaks during an address to the nation at the presidential palace, in Baabda, east of Beirut, Lebanon, November 21, 2019. (Dalati Nohra via AP)-Last week, Energy Minister Yuval Steinitz invited Lebanese President Michael Aoun to meet in Europe for direct high-level negotiations. The message came after the two exchanged barbs on Twitter over the talks.Earlier this month, Aoun set out his country’s position on the maritime border, which he said should be “based on the line that departs on land from the point of Ras Naqoura.”The demarcation should be “according to the general principle known as the median line, without taking into account any impact of the occupied Palestinian coastal islands,” Aoun tweeted, referring to the Israeli coastline.Aoun’s tweet confirmed that Lebanon is now demanding an additional 1,430 square kilometers (552 square miles) of sea further south, which includes part of Israel’s Karish gas field, said Lebanese energy expert Laury Haytayan.

UAE’s Etihad Airways joins new Israeli program to foster travel tech-$3 million accelerator called OnBoard is partnered by Booking.com and Amadeus, Arieli Capital says; tech is key to getting industry back on track, Arieli’s innovation chief says-By Shoshanna Solomon-NOV 30,20-Today, 11:34 am

Arieli Capital, a holdings and investment company, said that Etihad Airways, the national airline of the United Arab Emirates, will be a partner in a new Israeli accelerator program focused on fostering startups in the field of tourism.The NIS 10 million ($3 million) program, called OnBoard, seeks to help fledgling Israeli and international firms in the field of travel technologies link up with travel giants and develop business relationships with them, enabling travel firms to tap into the latest technologies.The program will be managed by Arieli Capital and was launched this week in partnership with tourism giants Booking.com, Spain’s travel firm Amadeus and Etihad Airways. These partners will help select the startups for the program, mentor them and link them up with strategic opportunities in the sector, Arieli Capital said.We are living in a technology world,” said Or Haviv, partner and head of innovation at Arieli Capital, in a phone interview. “Technology is not just nice to have; it is a must.”While the coronavirus is rampant and even after the pandemic, technology is what will make it safe for people to enter planes, hotels, airports and cruise ships. “It can be a matter of make or break,” he said. “The industry understands this and is paying attention.”Startups that will be selected for the accelerator program will get help in business plan development, creating connections to markets and customers, recruitment assistance, business cooperation, access to infrastructure and marketing tools.Each company will receive an assistance package of a variety of services worth $250,000. As they grow their technologies the partners in the accelerator will also mull investments in the firms, Arieli said in a statement.The first cohort of startups, both from Israel and globally, is scheduled to begin in the first quarter of 2021, Arieli said, and registration is now open.Each year some 10 companies will be selected for the program, Haviv said. “Travel is by definition international,” he said, and thus it was important to open the accelerator to an international group of startups. Post-pandemic, the program will be based in Israel, he said.Arieli Capital has offices in New York, China and Tel Aviv, and operates a global venture arm that manages and invests in technologies, hubs and accelerators. Arieli Capital runs a number of innovation centers, including an agricultural innovation center in Israel, together with the country’s largest regional council Ramat Negev Regional Council. The firm also runs an innovation center in Eilat that focuses on marine technologies, tourism and agriculture.

16min ago-Syria, Russia face pressure at meeting of chemical weapons watchdog-nov30,20-toi

THE HAGUE, Netherlands — Syria and Russia face renewed pressure over allegations of chemical weapons use as member countries of the global toxic arms watchdog meet today.Moscow is urged by Western nations to “transparently” reveal the circumstances of the Novichok nerve agent poisoning of opposition figure Alexei Navalny.Damascus meanwhile faces calls for sanctions at the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons after investigators accused the Syrian regime of sarin attacks in 2017.Russia and Syria have repeatedly denied the accusations, alleging that Western powers have politicized the Hague-based OPCW.Syria had failed to meet 90-day deadline set in July to declare the weapons used in the attacks on the village of Lataminah and to reveal its remaining stocks, OPCW chief Fernando Arias says.“The Syrian Arab Republic has not completed any of the measures,” Arias tells the meeting.He says “gaps, inconsistencies and discrepancies” remained in Syria’s account of its progress on its 2013 agreement to give up all chemical weapons following a suspected sarin attack that killed 1,400 people in the Damascus suburb of Ghouta.France proposed that the OPCW should “suspend the rights and privileges” of Syria for failing to meet the deadline, French ambassador Luis Vassy says, adding that the proposal was backed by 43 states.These would include Syria’s voting rights in the OPCW, depriving it of a voice at a body where it has been deflecting allegations of toxic arms use for years.Russia meanwhile comes under pressure over the poisoning of Navalny, which the politician and western governments have blamed on the Kremlin.The OPCW has confirmed traces of the Soviet-era nerve agent Novichok in samples taken from Navalny in hospital in Germany, where he is recovering.— AFP

Official says previous attempts to target Fakhrizadeh failed-Nuke chief killed with Israeli weapons controlled by satellite – Iranian report-State TV says weapon found at scene of Fakhrizadeh killing bore ‘logo and specifications of the Israeli military industry’; senior official confirms attack was carried out remotely-By TOI staff-NOV 30,20-Today, 11:53 am

The attack that killed the alleged architect of Iran’s nuclear weapons program on Friday was carried out using an Israeli-manufactured weapon controlled by satellite, Iranian news sites reported on Monday.Just after the burial of Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, state TV’s English-language Press TV reported a weapon recovered from the scene of the attack bore “the logo and specifications of the Israeli military industry.” There were no images published of the alleged weapon in the report, which was attributed to “informed sources.”Additionally, a report on the Arabic-language Al Alam news site, which is operated by the state-owned media corporation Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting, said there was proof of Israel’s involvement in the killing. The report, which was attributed to a single anonymous source, offered no evidence for its claim.Ali Shamkhani, the secretary of the country’s Supreme National Security Council, separately told state TV that Iran’s enemies had launched “a number of failed operations” against Fakhrizadeh in the past.“This time, the enemy applied a completely new, professional and sophisticated method,” he said, without elaborating. “No individual was present at the site.”Shamkhani also blamed the Iranian exile group Mujahedeen-e-Khalq as well for “having a role in this,” without elaborating. The MEK did not immediately respond to a request for comment.The highly public killing of Fakhrizadeh prompted widespread condemnation from Iran, which explicitly accused Israel of being responsible for the attack and threatened to exact revenge for it.The reports came a day after the semi-officials Fars news site, a leading Iranian outlet, reported that Friday’s attack was carried out from afar using a remote-controlled machine gun attached to a car with no human agents on the scene, a significantly different description of the attack than had been previously presented. The account was not attributed to official sources and was not immediately confirmed by Iran.According to the outlet, the assault took place over the course of three minutes as Fakhrizadeh — a brigadier general in Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, and a key figure in the country’s military research-and-development program long regarded by Israel and the US as the head of its rogue nuclear weapons program — traveled with his wife toward the resort town of Absard, east of Tehran.The operation kicked off when the lead car in Fakhrizadeh’s security detail traveled ahead to inspect his destination, the report said. At that point, a number of bullets were fired at Fakhrizadeh’s armored car, prompting him to exit the vehicle as he was apparently unaware that he was under attack, thinking that the sound was caused by an accident or some problem with the car, according to Fars news. The outlet did not specify if those shots were fired from the remote-controlled machine gun or from a different source.This photo released by the semi-official Fars News Agency shows the scene where Mohsen Fakhrizadeh was killed in Absard, a small city just east of the capital, Tehran, Iran, November 27, 2020. (Fars News Agency via AP)-Once Fakhrizadeh exited the vehicle, the remote-controlled machine gun opened fire from roughly 150 meters (500 feet) away, striking him three times, twice in the side and once in his back, severing his spinal cord. Fakhrizadeh’s bodyguard was also hit by the gunfire. The attacking car, a Nissan, then exploded, the report said.Fakhrizadeh was taken to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead. His wife also appears to have been killed in the attack, according to Iranian media.Photos and video shared online showed a sedan with bullet holes in the windshield and back window, blood pooled on the asphalt and debris scattered along a stretch of the road.This photo released by the semi-official Fars News Agency shows the scene where Mohsen Fakhrizadeh was killed in Absard, a small city just east of the capital, Tehran, Iran, November 27, 2020. Parts of image are blurred for potentially disturbing imagery. (Fars News Agency via AP)-Initial reports from Iran had earlier indicated that an explosion occurred first, forcing Fakhrizadeh’s car to stop, at which point armed agents opened fire at him and his security detail, killing them, before fleeing the scene.According to Fars news, Iranian authorities tracked down the owner of the Nissan, who left the country on October 29. The name of the owner was not included in the report.A number of defense analysts cast doubts on the Fars report of remote-controlled shooting, noting that photographs of the scene showed what appeared to be precise gunfire aimed at Fakhrizadeh’s car, which better fits the initial descriptions of armed, trained operatives conducting the raid.Other news outlets have also published contradictory accounts of the killing, including claims that dozens of Israeli operatives were involved.An unnamed Western intelligence source told Channel 12 the killing of the nuclear physicist, described in the past as the “father” of Iran’s project to develop nuclear weapons, was the “pinnacle” of Israel’s long-term plans.Tehran officially denies plans to develop atomic weapons, maintaining its nuclear program is for civilian purposes, though a trove of Iranian documents stolen from Tehran by the Mossad, which where revealed by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in 2018, showed plans by Iran to attach a nuclear warhead to a ballistic missile.Iran has suffered several devastating attacks this year, including the killing of top general Qassem Soleimani in a US drone strike in January, and a mysterious explosion and fire that crippled an advanced centrifuge assembly plant at the Natanz uranium enrichment facility, which is widely believed to have been an act of sabotage.Judah Ari Gross and agencies contributed to this report.

Defense head threatens states that haven't condemned killing-At nuke chief’s funeral, Iran defense minister vows response to killing-Hatami says ‘the enemy made a mistake’ with assassination and nuclear program will continue; ceremony attended by Revolutionary Guards, Quds Force chiefs-By TOI staff-NOV 30,20-Today, 10:54 am

Speaking at the funeral of a top Iranian nuclear scientist who was killed in an assassination widely blamed on Israel, Iran’s defense minister warned on Monday that Tehran would not leave the killing unavenged.“The enemy knows full well that he cannot commit a crime without getting a response from the Iranian people. The martyr’s blood will be remembered forever and the enemy made a mistake with this assassination,” said Defense Minister Gen. Amir Hatami, according to Hebrew-language reports, after kissing Mohsen Fakhrizadeh’s casket and putting his forehead against it.“The assassination of the scientist will not stop the progress of Iran’s nuclear program but will only accelerate it. The response will come with certainty.” Hatami said.e said Fakhrizadeh’s killing would make Iranians “more united, more determined.”“For the continuation of your path, we will continue with more speed and more power,” Hatami said at the funeral in an outdoor area of the Defense Ministry in Iran’s capital, Tehran.Hatami also criticized countries that hadn’t condemned Fakhrizadeh’s killing, warning: “This will catch up with you someday.”Among the countries that have denounced the killing is the United Arab Emirates, which recently established diplomatic relations with Israel in a deal touted as having been accelerated by the countries’ shared concerns over Iran.The funeral got underway with a religious singer praising Fakhrizadeh and alluding to the martyrdom of Imam Hossein, a revered 7th century holy figure from whom Shiite Muslims draw inspiration.A large display showed a picture of Fakhrizadeh next to Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, as well as the late top general Qassem Soleimani, who was killed in a January airstrike by the US in Baghdad.The funeral was closed to the public in order to maintain health protocols over the novel coronavirus pandemic, according to the defense ministry.In this photo released by the official website of the Iranian Defense Ministry, military personnel stand near the flag-draped coffin of Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, a scientist who was killed on Friday, during a funeral ceremony in Tehran, Iran, Nov. 30, 2020 (Iranian Defense Ministry via AP)-As well as Hatami, the funeral was also attended by Revolutionary Guards chief Hossein Salami and the Guard’s Quds Force leader Gen. Esmail Ghaani, along with civilian nuclear program chief Ali Akbar Sahei and Intelligence Minister Mamoud Alavi.The Quds Force is the Guards’ foreign operations unit, named for the Arabic word for Jerusalem, and supports forces allied with Iran around the region, such as Syrian President Bashar Assad’s regime and Lebanon’s Hezbollah terror group. Reports on Saturday said Israel had raised alertness in its embassies around the world in the wake of the assassination, and that Jewish communities were also taking precautions.As part of the procession before the funeral, Fakhrizadeh’s remains were taken to holy Shiite shrines in the northeastern city of Mashhad and Qom in central Iran, as well as the shrine of the founder of the Islamic Republic, Ruhollah Khomeini, in Tehran.In this picture released by the Iranian Defense Ministry and taken on Saturday, Nov. 28, 2020, caretakers from the Imam Reza holy shrine, carry the flag draped coffin of Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, an Iranian scientist linked to the country’s disbanded military nuclear program, who was killed on Friday, during a funeral ceremony in the northeastern city of Mashhad, Iran. (Iranian Defense Ministry via AP)-Fakhrizadeh, the scientist said by Israel and the US to head Iran’s rogue nuclear weapons program, was killed in a military-style ambush Friday on the outskirts of Tehran, which reportedly saw a truck bomb explode and gunmen open fire on the scientist.A report on Sunday by the semi-official Fars agency said the assassination was carried out from afar using a remote-controlled machine gun attached to a car. According to the news site, the entire operation was conducted with no human agents whatsoever, a significantly different description of the attack than had been previously presented. The account was not attributed to official sources and was not immediately confirmed by Iran. A number of defense analysts cast doubts on the Fars report.A London-based Iranian journalist claimed late Sunday that Iran had distributed pictures of four suspects in the killing and was asking hotel owners to immediately inform intelligence agents if they had seen them.Iran has blamed Israel for the attack. Israel, long suspected of killing Iranian nuclear scientists over the last decade, has declined to comment on the killing.The United Nations and European Union criticized the operation — without naming Israel — saying it inflamed tensions in the region. Some American Democrats also spoke out against the raid, saying it appeared to be an effort to hobble efforts by US President-elect Joe Biden to rejoin the 2015 nuclear deal, a move that Jerusalem staunchly opposes along with several Sunni Arab states.Iran has already suffered several devastating attacks this year, including the killing of Soleimani in a US drone strike in January, and a mysterious explosion and fire that crippled an advanced centrifuge assembly plant at the Natanz facility, which is widely believed to have been an act of sabotage.In response to the assassination, the Iranian parliament on Sunday passed a number of emergency motions including a bill requiring the Atomic Energy Organization to increase the monthly output of enriched uranium for “various peaceful purposes,” the Iranian Tasnim News Agency reported.The bill demands that the atomic agency stockpile at least 120 kilograms of uranium enriched to 20 percent at the Fordo nuclear facility, and increase enrichment at Natanz as well. The move, which must still be ratified, would be the latest violation of enrichment curbs set out by the 2015 nuclear deal.Lawmakers, who kicked off the Sunday session with chants of “Death to America!” and “Death to Israel!” also issued a statement demanding that Iran restrict access to UN inspectors at nuclear sites, according to Iranian media.This photo released by the semi-official Fars News Agency shows the scene where Mohsen Fakhrizadeh was killed in Absard, a small city just east of the capital, Tehran, Iran, Friday, Nov. 27, 2020. (Fars News Agency via AP)-Analysts have said Fakhrizadeh was on par with Robert Oppenheimer, the scientist who led America’s Manhattan Project in World War II that created the atom bomb.Fakhrizadeh was named by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in 2018 as the director of Iran’s nuclear weapons project. When Netanyahu revealed then that Israel had removed from a warehouse in Tehran a vast archive of Iran’s own material detailing its nuclear weapons program, he said: “Remember that name, Fakhrizadeh.”Israel has long been suspected of carrying out a series of targeted killings of Iranian nuclear scientists nearly a decade ago, in a bid to curtail Iran’s nuclear program. It has made no official comment on the matter. Israeli TV coverage noted that Friday’s attack was far more complex than any of those previous incidentsAgencies contributed to this report.

Analysis-Nuke chief’s killing dealt Iran a major blow, but the price may be high-Brazen daytime raid may hobble Biden’s plans to rejoin the nuclear deal and draw retaliation from Tehran as it smarts from losing the architect of its atomic weapons program-By Judah Ari Gross-NOV 30,20-Today, 8:50 am

The killing of Iran’s military nuclear architect outside of Tehran on Friday struck a major blow to the Islamic Republic, both in practical and symbolic terms, for which it will almost undoubtedly seek revenge — though perhaps not immediately. It will also not likely be the last such blow to Iran.The killing of Mohsen Fakhrizadeh — a brigadier general in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, as well as a top military scientist and academic — closes out a year of high-profile losses for Tehran: the killing of IRGC Quds Force commander Qassem Soleimani in an American airstrike in Iraq in January; a cyberattack that brought down a major Iranian port; the destruction of a nuclear facility in Natanz, along with several smaller sites, in a series of explosions throughout the summer; and, somewhat indirectly, Abu Muhammad al-Masri, a top al-Qaeda leader shot dead in Tehran in August, shedding light on Iran’s close relationship with the terrorist group. The Islamic Republic was also particularly hard hit by the coronavirus pandemic in 2020 and remains under crushing American financial sanctions that have hobbled its economy.Tehran has attributed all of these — save the pandemic — to Israel or the United States directly. Jerusalem has been officially mum on the matter, as is its wont.The daytime raid that targeted Fakhrizadeh, who had been singled out by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in 2018 as the main force behind Tehran’s military nuclear program, was carefully coordinated, requiring exceedingly strong intelligence in order to track him, coupled with advanced operational capabilities to carry out the assault itself — though specific details of the attack remain hazy two days later.The attack occurred while Fakhrizadeh, his wife and their security detail were traveling down a highway toward Absard, a resort town east of Tehran, at roughly 2:30 p.m. Iranian time.According to some Iranian outlets, a vehicle traveling near their car exploded, forcing the military scientist to stop. Gunmen then emerged from an SUV and killed Fakhrizadeh’s bodyguards and shot him, fatally wounding him, then fled the scene.One Iranian outlet, the semi-official Fars news agency, reported that the entire attack had been carried out by a remote-controlled machine gun. According to Fars, Fakhrizadeh exited his car after shots were fired at it. When he did so, the remote-controlled machine gun opened fire at him and his bodyguards, then the car carrying the weapon exploded, presumably to keep evidence from falling into the hands of Iranian authorities.According to every account, however, Fakhrizadeh was airlifted in critical condition to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead. His wife survived the raid.This type of highly public killing is deeply embarrassing for Iran, demonstrating both internationally and domestically that it cannot provide adequate security to a high-profile official like the head of its constantly-under-fire nuclear weapons program, which has already been targeted in the past with assassinations by foreign governments.Iran quickly accused Israel of responsibility for the assault. Israel has not publicly confirmed its role in the operation, though at least one senior Israeli official indicated to the New York Times that Jerusalem was behind the hit, saying the world should “thank Israel” for killing Fakhrizadeh, whom he described as a menace.Publicly, Israeli officials have been gleefully ambiguous, with Minister of Settlement Affairs Tzachi Hanegbi telling Channel 12 on Saturday he had “no idea” who killed Fakhrizadeh. Energy Minister Yuval Steinitz told the Kan broadcaster on Sunday that “whoever did it” contributed to the security of “not only Israel, but the whole region and the world.”Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appeared to nod at Israel’s involvement in the hit in a video he released on Friday, in which he recited achievements of his government over the previous week and added that it was only a partial list as there were some other things he “can’t tell you.” Netanyahu knew the statement could also be taken as a reference to a reported trip he took to Saudi Arabia, which has not been officially confirmed.The Iranian Oppenheimer-Fakhrizadeh has been accused of leading Iran’s nuclear weapons program for decades, first as the head of Tehran’s AMAD program, which was nominally dissolved in 2003 but was later replaced in all but name by the Organization of Defensive Innovation and Research, known by the abbreviation SPND.Iran denies having plans to develop atomic weapons, maintaining that its nuclear program is for civilian purposes, but a trove of Iranian documents stolen from Tehran by the Mossad, which were revealed by Netanyahu in a 2018 press conference, showed plans by Iran to attach a nuclear warhead to a ballistic missile among other things indicating a weapons program.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stands in front of a picture of Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, whom he named as the head of Iran’s nuclear weapons program, April 30, 2018 (YouTube screenshot)-It was during that press conference that Netanyahu identified Fakhrizadeh by name as the architect of Iran’s nuclear weapons program.“If Iran ever chose to weaponize (enrichment), Fakhrizadeh would be known as the father of the Iranian bomb,” a Western diplomat told the Reuters news agency four years prior.The killing of Fakhrizadeh — often referred to as Iran’s J. Robert Oppenheimer, who led America’s development of the first atomic bombs — will also have a direct impact on Tehran’s ability to develop nuclear weapons.“The is no doubt that he was the core source of authority, knowledge and organization of this program,” Amos Yadlin, a former Military Intelligence chief and current head of the influential Institute for National Security Studies think tank, told reporters Sunday in a briefing organized by the Media Central group.“They are people you can [nominally] replace, but there’s really no replacement for their capabilities, knowledge, leadership and the ways they knew how to lead a strategic effort,” he said.Though Fakhrizadeh’s death will probably not affect Iran’s ability to produce fissile material — he had no real role in that — Tehran will likely find it more difficult to turn that into a deliverable nuclear bomb. According to the International Atomic Energy Agency, Fakhrizadeh was believed to be behind the effort to miniaturize an atomic weapon and make it rugged enough to be used in an intercontinental ballistic missile — two key steps needed to create a functional atomic weapon.“The damage to the covert weaponization program is huge, but cannot be measured since nobody knows exactly the scope and the depth and what the Iranians are doing covertly,” Yadlin said.Fakhrizadeh has reportedly been in Israel’s crosshairs in the past, at least since 2009. According to Ronen Bergman, a well-connected journalist on Israeli intelligence and security, plans were submitted to kill the Iranian military scientist at some point during Ehud Olmert’s tenure as prime minister from 2006 to 2009, but the plot was scuttled at the last minute.“Apparently, there were those who came to Olmert… and said, listen, there is a danger that the operation will fail; there is a danger that the forces on the ground will be discovered,” Bergman told Channel 10 news in 2018, after Netanyahu identified Fakhrizadeh by name.Since then, Fakhrizadeh has remained on Israel’s radar, being closely monitored and tracked by Israeli intelligence.So why now? The recent uptick in alleged Israeli actions against Iran and its nuclear program can largely be traced to the window of opportunity of an outgoing US administration that supports offensive military action against Tehran. Indeed, US President Donald Trump, who abandoned the Iran nuclear deal in 2018 in favor of a so-called “maximum pressure” campaign of sanctions, tweeted about the raid repeatedly over the weekend, even retweeting an Israeli military correspondent’s description of it .Mohsen Fakhrizadeh has been assassinated in Damavand, east of Tehran according to reports in Iran. He was head of Iran’s secret military program and wanted for many years by Mossad. His death is a major psychological and professional blow for Iran.  — Yossi Melman (@yossi_melman) November 27, 2020-US President-elect Joe Biden, on the other hand, plans to rejoin the 2015 Iran nuclear deal — formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action — and to advance further negotiations with Tehran. Proponents of this strategy see these alleged Israeli actions as unhelpful toward that goal, making talks less likely to succeed as Iran could harden its positions and be less amenable to Western diplomacy.“If the primary purpose of the killing of Mr. Fakhrizadeh was to make it harder to restart the Iran nuclear agreement, then this assassination does not make America, Israel or the world safer,” US Senator Chris Murphy, a leading voice of the Democratic party’s foreign policy, wrote in a tweet on Friday.US Vice President Joseph Biden, left, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, right, talk before a dinner at the Prime Minister’s Residence in Jerusalem, March 9, 2010. (AP Photo/Baz Ratner, Pool)-The left-leaning J Street organization, an advocate of the JCPOA, described the raid as an “attempt to sabotage diplomacy.”However, those who are more hawkish on Iran and generally warier of rapidly returning to the JCPOA see these types of operations as leverage — meaning the incoming administration could use the threat of further Israeli actions to negotiate a stronger deal.This was an argument presented by Mark Dubowitz, head of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies think tank and lobbying firm, which generally takes a hardline approach on Iran.“Still almost two months before Joe Biden takes office. Plenty of time for US and Israel to inflict severe damage on the regime in Iran — and build leverage for the Biden administration,” Dubowitz said Saturday.The price is terror-In addition to accusing Israel of being responsible for the killing of Fakhrizadeh, several Iranian officials threatened the Jewish state with retaliation. A conservative Iranian newspaper, Kayhan, called for an attack on Israel’s northern port city of Haifa, which has routinely been threatened by the Iran-backed Hezbollah terror group in Lebanon.A close military adviser to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and a candidate for Iran’s 2021 presidential election, Brig. Gen. Hossein Dehqan, vowed to avenge the killing.“We will come down hard on those who killed martyr Mohsen Fakhrizadeh like thunder and make them regret their deed,” he said, according to Iranian media.But while Israel expects some type of retaliation for the operation, it is unlikely to come directly from Tehran, which hopes to hold negotiations with Biden’s incoming administration. Such an attack on a close US ally like Israel would make talks far more difficult for the Islamic Republic, a point of leverage that Jerusalem appears acutely aware of and willing to exploit.However, Tehran need not directly implicate itself by openly attacking the Jewish state. Over the past 40 years the Islamic Republic has built up networks of proxies around the world to do its bidding while giving it deniability — plausible or otherwise.Such was the case in the aftermath of previous alleged Israeli assassinations of Iranian nuclear scientists — at least four of them — between 2010 and 2012.sraeli embassy, after Monday's attack wounded one person. (photo credit: AP Photo/Mustafa Quraishi)-Throughout 2012, a series of attacks targeted Israeli officials and civilians across the globe in attacks tied to Tehran, apparently in response to the Mossad spy agency’s clandestine activities in Iran. On February 13 of that year, bombings took place in New Delhi, India and Tbilisi, Georgia — all apparently targeting Israeli officials or locations. The New Delhi bombing was directed against Israel’s defense attaché to India, injuring his wife, their driver and two bystanders, while the Georgian attack was thwarted after an Israeli embassy driver found the bomb under his car before it could be detonated. A day later, several bombs exploded in Bangkok, Thailand, injuring five people, which were suspected of being botched efforts to attack Israeli targets.Later that year, a Hezbollah operative was arrested in Cyprus, where he admitted he had been conducting surveillance on Israeli tourists, apparently in preparation for attacks against them.n July 18, 2012, a suicide bomber attacked a bus of Israeli tourists in the Bulgarian city of Burgas, killing five of them and their driver and injuring dozens more. Hezbollah is widely believed to have carried out the attack, likely at Tehran’s behest.An Israeli emergency rescue team examines the remains of a bus bombed in Bulgaria in July, 2012, allegedly by Hezbollah (Dano Monkotovic/Flash90/JTA)-The Argentine Israelite Mutual Association bombing in 1994, which killed 85 people and injured hundreds more, has also been traced back to Iran’s nuclear program. According to Argentine prosecutors Alberto Nisman and Marcelo Martínez Burgos, the bombing was ordered by Iran in response to a decision by then-Argentinian president Carlos Menem to call off an agreement to supply Tehran with nuclear material and knowhow.In light of the current threat of retaliation, Israeli embassies and Jewish sites around the world have gone on high alert. At the same time, the Israel Defense Forces has not changed its official level of alertness or significantly changed its deployments, an apparent indication that it does not anticipate an Iranian retaliation in the form of an immediate military strike.Raphael Ahren contributed to this report.

Trump eggs on Pennsylvania Republicans’ attempt to undo vote certification-By Mary Kay Linge-November 28, 2020 | 3:15pm

President Trump boosted Pennsylvania state Republicans’ efforts to contest the results of the presidential election with a Saturday tweet.“So much credit to all of the brave men and women in state houses who are defending our great Constitution,” Trump wrote. “Thank you!”The post came one day after GOP members of the Pennsylvania state senate and house filed resolutions trying to assert their power to appoint the slate of electors that will cast the state’s 20 votes in the Electoral College when it meets Dec. 14.“There is mounting evidence that the PA presidential election was compromised,” state Sen. Doug Mastriano tweeted Saturday. “If this is the case … the state legislature has the sole authority to direct the manner of selecting delegates to the Electoral College” under the US Constitution, he claimed.Mastriano led the Wednesday public hearing on alleged election irregularities that featured a phone-in appearance by the president.Meanwhile, a state judge issued an opinion late Friday that a separate legal challenge to the constitutionality of Pennsylvania’s mail-in ballot rules is likely to succeed on the merits — throwing the results of the Keystone State’s Nov. 3 election into further confusion.Judge Patricia McCollough defended her earlier ruling ordering a halt to the election’s certification, based on a lawsuit filed last week by US Congressman Mike Kelly and others.The Kelly suit, which claims that the state’s universal, no-excuse mail-in ballot system violates specific restrictions defined in Pennsylvania’s state constitution, will be argued in a Monday hearing.The case — combined with Friday’s unanimous rejection of the Trump campaign’s election challenge by the 3rd US Circuit Court of Appeals — is likely to increase the odds that the conflicting rulings will ultimately force the US Supreme Court to settle the matter.

CBS News November 25, 2020, 12:30 PM-Can couples therapy techniques bring together Americans with opposing political views?

If  President-elect Joe Biden is committed to his pledge to unify the country, he has a lot of work ahead of him. Americans are fiercely split, not only about policy, but on the basic decency of the other side.In a recent Pew Research Center poll, only about one in five registered voters said they share "core American values" with the other party, and about nine in 10 people worried that a victory by the opposition would do "lasting harm" to America."CBS This Morning" co-host Tony Dokoupil tested out one idea to ease this strain: give America a little therapy.Asked how they were feeling about the state of the country, some Americans didn't have positive replies. "I'm devastated," Iris Kloin told Dokoupil"I think our country is more divided than ever," Heather Feshbach said."Oh, it's terrible. It's terrible," Steven Ross said. After 244 years together as a nation, the country seems to be growing apart. And Americans are concerned about the polarization and division in the country."I feel like there's not a lot of compassion for us as human beings for each other anymore," Aidan Gianassi said.Just about everyone seems to agree that the state of our union is on the rocks."Definitely like the feeling where the husband comes home and goes and does his hobbies and doesn't talk to the wife until they go to bed," said Drew Ginsburg.Some, like family therapist Bill Doherty, think America is like a marriage, one that's not going well. Doherty is co-founder of a nonprofit called Braver Angels, which runs thousands of workshops nationwide dedicated to repairing the bond between liberals and conservatives. Doherty uses the same techniques he's used to help husbands and wives. "We are an American family. We sit at the same table. You can imagine one, big Thanksgiving table. And if we expel people from the table because of their political views, we will lose our ability to function as a country," Doherty said. Doherty said Americans first need to decide that our democracy is worth saving, and not everybody thinks so. "We need to have a divorce," one man told Dokoupil."A big threat that I see growing right now is the people who were saying that they are morally compromised by having a conversation with somebody who differs from them. Morally compromised because they are condoning evil. This is a serious threat to a democracy," Doherty said. Addressing it requires getting each side to take responsibility for their role in the quarrel, Doherty said, but as Dokoupil discovered over two days of talking to voters across the political spectrum, talking about the other side is a hard habit to break."Our current president denies science. He is in denial about a deadly pandemic," Feshbach, a Biden supporter, said.Asked how Democrats can help heal the divide, she said, "They need to start meeting halfway.""I just think they're so self-involved with their own," said Kloin, another Biden supporter. "I just find the hypocrisy of what the Republicans are spewing."But Trump supporters also struggled with what Doherty calls "the humility question.""Is it hard to think about the ways you and your party might be contributing?" Dokoupil asked Linda Frink. "Sure. Both sides are," she said. "I just -- I think the other side is just a little too crazy for me.""Channeling the marriage counselor here, he would tell me to tell you, 'Forget about the other side. What about you guys? What can you do differently?'" Dokoupil said."It's a tough one," Frink said.Still, just about everyone CBS News spoke to was, with a little push, willing to admit that their side is not perfect.Asked if Democrats share some of the blame for the nastiness in politics today, Karen Owens, a liberal, said, "Oh, yes. I wish I could say, 'Oh, no. They have nothing to do with it,' but they do."Feshbach agreed. "100%," she said. "Well, I think the blame probably, if you had to be honest, would fall with the president," said Dave Pasquarella, a conservative. "His criticism and his rhetoric divided the country.""I'm a little concerned about the president's refusal to concede," said NYU College Republicans President Bobby Miller. "Embracing conspiracy theories never helps."Many were also willing to acknowledge that the American marriage requires a little give and take."I think that we should have health care for all," Gianassi said. "And I wouldn't take a compromise for that.""Let's imagine the marriage of Americans, Democrats and Republicans," Dokoupil responded. "You're on one side and you're saying, 'health care for all.' The other side's saying, 'no way.' How do you stay married?" "It's a good point you bring up, good question, I have to say 'cause I wish I put some more thought into this," Gianassi said. "Both parties talk about 'bringing people together,' but none of the policies or conversations really support that. So I think if you're not helping the situation, then you are hurting it," said Isaiah Evans.It's insight like that that makes Doherty, if not exactly confident, at least hopeful that America is on the mend."I think people are starting to realize we can't go on this way," Doherty said. "I have hope that we're going to wake up and see divisiveness and polarization as our enemy, not people on the other political side."

Israel said to be certain that Iran will respond to nuclear scientist’s killing-TOI-NOV 28,20

The former head of Iran’s atomic energy organization denies the assassination of top nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh is a sign of weakness.“This terrorism doesn’t indicate weakness in our security apparatus, but rather points to its strength. This kind of thing (assassination) hasn’t happened for a long time,” Fereydoon Abbasi Davani says in a video aired by Channel 12 news.Abbasi Davani, who was allegedly a top scientist on the nuclear weapons program run by Fakhrizadeh, survived an assassination attempt in 2010. He is now a member of Iran’s parliament.Separately, Channel 12 says Israel “knows that Iran will respond” to the killing , without citing a source. Iran has blamed the assassination on Israel.The network’s analyst Ehud Yaari posits that Iran has two options for retaliating. The first would involve ramping up its nuclear weapons program; enriching uranium to 20 percent; ditching parts of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT); and to again turn on its heavy water reactor.Alternatively, or in addition, Yaari speculates that Iran could launch a major attack on an Israeli target, similar to its 2019 attack on Saudi oil facilities, and won’t content itself with a more “minor” attack on an embassy or target of similar importance.Amos Yadlin, a former IDF Military Intelligence chief who now heads the INSS think tank, tells the station that “whoever made this decision knows that there are 55 more days in which the White House has someone who sees the Iranian threat the way they do… Biden is a different story.”“Apparently, Pompeo didn’t come here to drink wine at the Psagot winery,” he adds, referring to the US secretary of state’s recent visit to Israel.

A truck bomb, then a hail of bullets: Iranian media describes hit on Fakhrizadeh-A team of gunmen assassinated head of Iranian nuclear weapons program, several of his bodyguards, after stopping vehicle with a hidden explosive, local reports say-By TOI STAFF-NOV 28,20-Today, 5:22 am

Iranian media reported details of the assassination of top nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh on Friday, describing a truck bomb and a fierce firefight outside Tehran.Israeli and Western intelligence officials have identified Fakhrizadeh as the leading figure in Iran’s rogue nuclear weapons program. Iranian officials accused Israel of being behind the attack and vowed revenge.The ambush took place in the town of Absard, a retreat for the Iranian elite with views of surrounding mountains located 40 miles east of Tehran.Absard residents told state media they heard an explosion in the area of the attack, followed by a barrage of automatic gunfire.Iranian state television said a parked Nissan truck with explosives hidden under a load of wood blew up as Fakhrizadeh approached in a vehicle.As Fakhrizadeh’s sedan stopped on the wide, tree-lined avenue, five or six gunmen emerged from a nearby vehicle and opened fire on his car, the semi-official Tasnim news agency said.A firefight erupted between the assassins and Fakhrizadeh’s bodyguards. The attackers wounded Fakhrizadeh and killed at least three of the guards before escaping.Fakhrizadeh was evacuated by helicopter and died at a hospital after doctors and paramedics couldn’t revive him. Others wounded, including Fakhrizadeh’s bodyguards, also were taken to a local hospital, Iranian media said.The powerful truck bomb sent debris flying at least 300 meters (yards) and damaged nearby electricity poles and transmitters, The New York Times reported.Tasnim said the attack took place at 2:30 p.m., local time, and that Fakhrizadeh’s relatives were with him at the time of the attack, but it wasn’t clear if his family members were in the same vehicle. The agency said the total number of people killed in the incident was still unknown.Roads on Friday, part of the Iranian weekend, were emptier than normal due to a lockdown over the coronavirus pandemic, offering the attackers a chance to strike with fewer people around.Photos and video shared online showed a Nissan sedan with bullet holes in the windshield, blood pooled on the asphalt and debris scattered along a stretch of the road.Iran’s semi-official Fars news agency claimed “three to four individuals, most likely all terrorists” were killed, citing eyewitnesses. All other reports said the attackers escaped from the scene.Following the attack, Iranian security forces fanned out in Tehran, apparently looking for the assassins, Reuters said.The shadowy scientist was alleged to be the mastermind of Iran’s rogue nuclear weapons program.Several top Iranian officials indicated they believed Israel was behind the killing in the hours after the attack, with one adviser to the Islamic Republic’s supreme leader vowing revenge.The New York Times said Israel was behind the attack, citing an American official and two intelligence sources. Fakhrizadeh was a longtime target of the Mossad spy agency, the Times said.The killing risks further stoking tensions across the Mideast, nearly a year after Iran and the US stood on the brink of war after an American drone strike killed top Iranian general Qassem Soleimani in Baghdad.It comes just as US President-elect Joe Biden stands poised to be inaugurated in January, and will likely complicate his efforts to return America to a pact aimed at ensuring Iran does not have enough highly enriched uranium to make a nuclear weapon.Biden has promised a return to diplomacy with Iran after four hawkish years under incumbent US President Donald Trump, who withdrew from the Iran nuclear deal in 2018 and began reimposing crippling sanctions on Tehran.Israel has long been suspected of carrying out a series of targeted killings of Iranian nuclear scientists nearly a decade ago, in a bid to curtail Iran’s nuclear program. Israeli TV coverage noted that Friday’s attack was far more complex than any of those previous incidents. Israel has never acknowledged assassinating people involved in the Iranian nuclear program.Israel, the US and other world leaders have not commented publicly on Fakhrizadeh’s killing. US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Friday night announced new sanctions against Russian and Chinese entities for supporting Iran’s missile program, but did not mention the assassination.KLThe UN called for “restraint and the need to avoid any actions that could lead to an escalation of tensions in the region.”

Scientist’s killing ‘the pinnacle’ of Israeli plan to sabotage Iran’s nuclear program — TV-NOV 28,20

An unnamed Western intelligence official tells Channel 12 news that the killing of top Iranian scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh was “the pinnacle” of a long-term Israeli plan to sabotage Iran’s nuclear program.“This is a diminution in knowledge that is irreplaceable,” the official is quoted saying.

Iran’s supreme leader says nation will avenge slain nuclear scientist-Khamenei calls for ‘punishing the perpetrators,’ says Fakhrizadeh’s scientific work will continue-By AGENCIES-NOV 28,20-Today, 12:11 pm

TEHRAN, Iran — Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Saturday called for “punishing” those behind the assassination of a top nuclear scientist, adding that his work must be carried on.He called for “following up on this crime and certainly punishing the perpetrators and those responsible, and … continuing the scientific and technical efforts of this martyr in all of the fields he was working in,” according to a statement on the supreme leader’s official website.Khamenei called Mohsen Fakhrizadeh a “prestigious nuclear and defense scientist” and said he was “martyred by the hands of criminal and cruel mercenaries.”This unparalleled scientist gave his dear and valuable life to God because of his great and lasting scientific efforts, and the high prize of martyrdom is his divine reward,” he added.Iranian officials have pointed the finger at Israel for the killing. The country has long been suspected of taking out scientists amid tensions over Tehran’s rogue nuclear weapons program, which Fakhrizadeh oversaw.In this cropped photo, Mohsen Fakhrizadeh sits in a meeting with Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in Tehran, Iran, January 23, 2019. (Office of the Iranian Supreme Leader via AP)-The slaying threatens to renew tensions between the United States and Iran in the waning days of President Donald Trump’s term, just as President-elect Joe Biden has suggested his administration could return to Tehran’s nuclear deal with world powers from which Trump earlier withdrew. The Pentagon announced early Saturday that it sent the USS Nimitz aircraft carrier back into the Mideast.Speaking to a meeting of his government’s coronavirus task force earlier Saturday, President Hassan Rouhani blamed Israel for the killing.Rouhani said that Fakhrizadeh’s death would not stop its nuclear program, something Khamenei said as well. Iran’s civilian nuclear program has continued its experiments and now enriches uranium up to 4.5 percent, far below weapons-grade levels of 90%.But analysts have compared Fakhrizadeh to being on a par with Robert Oppenheimer, the scientist who led the US’ Manhattan Project in World War II that created the atom bomb.“We will respond to the assassination of Martyr Fakhrizadeh in a proper time,” Rouhani said.He added: “The Iranian nation is smarter than falling into the trap of the Zionists. They are thinking to create chaos.”Friday’s 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.This photo released by the semi-official Fars News Agency shows the scene where Mohsen Fakhrizadeh was killed in Absard, a small city just east of the capital, Tehran, Iran, Friday, Nov. 27, 2020. (Fars News Agency via AP)-As Fakhrizadeh’s sedan stopped, at least five gunmen emerged and raked the car with rapid gunfire, the semiofficial Tasnim news agency said.Fakhrizadeh died at a hospital after doctors and paramedics couldn’t revive him. Three of Fakhrizadeh’s bodyguards were also killed. Photos and video shared online showed a Nissan sedan with bullet holes in the windshield and blood pooled on the road.Hours after the attack, the Pentagon announced it had brought the USS Nimitz aircraft carrier back into the Middle East, an unusual move as the carrier already spent months in the region. It cited the drawdown of US forces in Afghanistan and Iraq as the reason for the decision, saying “it was prudent to have additional defensive capabilities in the region to meet any contingency.”The attack came just days before the 10-year anniversary of the killing of Iranian nuclear scientist Majid Shahriari that Tehran also blamed on Israel. That and other targeted killings happened at the time that the so-called Stuxnet virus, believed to be an Israeli and American creation, destroyed Iranian centrifuges.Those assaults occurred at the height of Western fears over Iran’s nuclear program. Tehran long has insisted its program is peaceful. However, Fakhrizadeh led Iran’s so-called AMAD program that Israel and the West have alleged was a military operation looking at the feasibility of building a nuclear weapon. The International Atomic Energy Agency says that “structured program” ended in 2003.This photo released by the semi-official Fars News Agency shows the scene where Mohsen Fakhrizadeh was killed in Absard, a small city just east of the capital, Tehran, Iran, Friday, Nov. 27, 2020. (Fars News Agency via AP)-IAEA inspectors monitor Iranian nuclear sites as part of the now-unraveling nuclear deal with world powers, which saw Tehran limit its enrichment of uranium in exchange for the lifting of economic sanctions.After Trump’s 2018 withdrawal from the deal, Iran has abandoned all those limits. Experts now believe Iran has enough low-enriched uranium to make at least two nuclear weapons if it chose to pursue the bomb. Meanwhile, an advanced centrifuge assembly plant at Iran’s Natanz nuclear facility exploded in July in what Tehran now calls a sabotage attack.Fakhrizadeh, born in 1958, had been sanctioned by the UN Security Council and the US for his work on AMAD. Iran always described him as a university physics professor. A member of the Revolutionary Guard, Fakhrizadeh had been seen in pictures in meetings attended by Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, a sign of his importance in Iran’s theocracy.In recent years, US sanctions lists name him as heading Iran’s Organization for Defensive Innovation and Research. The State Department described that organization last year as working on “dual-use research and development activities, of which aspects are potentially useful for nuclear weapons and nuclear weapons delivery systems.”Iran’s mission to the UN, meanwhile, described Fakhrizadeh’s recent work as “development of the first indigenous COVID-19 test kit” and overseeing Tehran’s efforts at making a possible coronavirus vaccine.

Iranians burn Israel and US flags, Trump and Biden photos after scientist killed-Students affiliated with Basij paramilitary group hold small protest outside foreign ministry in Tehran; some call to expel IAEA inspectors in response to assassination-By TOI STAFF-NOV 28,20-Today, 6:35 pm

Students in the Iranian capital Tehran burned Israeli and American flags on Saturday to protest the assassination of top nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, which Iran has blamed on Israel.The students, who demonstrated outside Iran’s foreign ministry, also burned photos of US President Donald Trump and President-elect Joe Biden, according to photos from AFP.The French news agency identified the students as members of the Basij, the paramilitary unit of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. Fakrizadeh was a senior officer in the IRGC.Small protests were also reported in the cities of Mashhad and Qom, where pictures published by the semi-official ISNA news agency showed demonstrators also burning flags.A hardline student group issued a statement calling for inspectors of the International Atomic Energy Agency to be ejected from the country, denouncing them as “spies,” the Tasnim news agency said.The Union of Islamic Student Societies also reportedly called to boycott negotiations with Western powers until those behind the attack stand trial, and demanded a military response to the assassinations of Fakhrizadeh and Gen. Qassem Soleimani, the head of the IRGC’s Quds Force who was killed in a US drone strike in January.Students of Iran’s Basij paramilitary force burn posters depicting US President Donald Trump (top) and President-elect Joe Biden, during a rally in front of the foreign ministry in Tehran, on November 28, 2020 (Atta Kenare/AFP)-Earlier Saturday, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani accused Israel of assassinating Fakhrizadeh and vowed to avenge his death. Supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei also called for revenge.Israel placed its embassies and delegations around the world on a heightened security alert amid concerns of Iranian reprisals, Israel’s Channel 12 News reported Saturday afternoon. Israel has made no official comment on the assassination.Fakhrizadeh was killed on Friday in an ambush in Absard, a village just east of the capital Tehran, as his vehicle neared a truck that exploded when it approached. Local reports then described a barrage of automatic gunfire as gunmen emerged from a nearby car. A firefight erupted between the assassins and Fakhrizadeh’s bodyguards. The attackers wounded Fakhrizadeh and killed at least three of the guards before escaping.On Friday night, a small demonstration broke out in Tehran outside Rouhani’s residence, with dozens of hard-line protesters calling for war with the United States following the assassination.The protesters, a crowd of dozens of men, shouted “no to submission, no to concession with America, only war with America,” the New York Times reported on Friday. It cited videos shown on Iranian TV and posted to social media channels. They also held up signs that read “silence is permission for more assassinations” and “Mr. President, they killed your minister’s adviser.

That and other targeted killings happened at the time that the so-called Stuxnet virus, believed to be an Israeli and American creation, destroyed Iranian centrifuges.Those assaults occurred at the height of Western fears over Iran’s nuclear program.

However, Fakhrizadeh led Iran’s so-called AMAD program that Israel and the West have alleged was a military operation looking at building a nuclear weapon. The International Atomic Energy Agency says that “structured program” ended in 2003.IAEA inspectors monitor Iranian nuclear sites as part of the now-unraveling nuclear deal with world powers, which saw Tehran limit its enrichment of uranium in exchange for the lifting of economic sanctions.Following Trump’s 2018 withdrawal from the deal, Iran has abandoned all of those limits. Experts now believe Iran has enough low-enriched uranium to make at least two nuclear weapons if it chose to pursue the bomb. Meanwhile, an advanced centrifuge assembly plant at Iran’s Natanz nuclear facility exploded in July in what Tehran now calls a sabotage attack.Agencies contributed to this report.

Iran claims slain nuclear scientist was working on virus detection kit, vaccine-Following assassination of physicist, officials in Tehran assert ‘dear unassuming scientist’ was involved in various important projects on virus and military defense-NOV 28,20-TOI

The top Iranian nuclear scientist assassinated near Tehran Friday was a key figure in the nation’s fight against the coronavirus pandemic, and was involved in the development of homegrown virus testing kits as well as a vaccine for COVID-19, Iranian officials claimed Saturday.Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, accused by Israel and Western intelligence officials of leading Iran’s past — and potentially present — nuclear weapons development program, served as head of the Iranian defense ministry’s Organization for Defensive Innovation and ResearchIranian Defense officials told the IRNA and Tasnim news agencies that projects developed under the department included Iran’s “first indigenous COVID-19 test kit.”This kit, according to Tasnim, was of a standard similar to such kits used around the world and was deployed throughout the country’s hospitals. “Today this valuable product is also in the basket of our country’s export goods,” it said.Mohsen Fakhrizadeh sits in a meeting with Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in Tehran, Iran, January 23, 2019. (Office of the Iranian supreme leader via AP)-Fakhrizadeh’s work also included overseeing the development of a potential Iranian vaccine for the coronavirus, the agencies said.It was not clear what Fakhrizadeh’s role in such projects would be, as a physicist.Tasnim said the vaccine project had achieved “very good results” under Fakhrizadeh’s leadership and was currently in human trials.Defense Minister Amir Hatami told IRNA Fakhrizadeh was also involved in the development of laser-based air defenses and non-radar detection of enemy aircraft.“The dear martyr and our unassuming scientist, Dr. Fakhrizadeh, was the source of great services to Iran,” he said.Iran has a history of dubious claims regarding scientific developments. In April the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) unveiled what it claimed was an Iranian-made smart system that could identify coronavirus in the environment instantly — from a distance of up to 100 meters.British daily the Independent noted the detector was highly reminiscent of a fake bomb detecting tool once sold by a convicted British fraudster to Iraqi security forces, and to several other countries, including Saudi Arabia and Thailand. The supposed Iranian detector has not been heard from since.-Medics tend to a COVID-19 patient at the Shohadaye Tajrish Hospital in Tehran, Iran, Oct. 14, 2020 (Akbar Badrkhani/Iranian Health Ministry via AP)-Iranian officials have pointed the finger at Israel for the killing of Fakhrizadeh. The country has long been suspected of taking out scientists amid tensions over Tehran’s rogue nuclear weapons program, which Fakhrizadeh oversaw.Friday’s attack happened Friday afternoon 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.As Fakhrizadeh’s sedan stopped, at least five gunmen emerged and raked the car with rapid gunfire, the semiofficial Tasnim news agency said.Fakhrizadeh died at a hospital after doctors and paramedics couldn’t revive him. Three of Fakhrizadeh’s bodyguards were also killed. Photos and video shared online showed a Nissan sedan with bullet holes in the windshield and blood pooled on the road.Top Iranian officials have called for retribution over the killing. Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Saturday urged “punishing” those behind the assassination, adding that his work must be carried on.This photo released by the semi-official Fars News Agency shows the scene where Mohsen Fakhrizadeh was killed in Absard, a small city just east of the capital, Tehran, Iran, Friday, Nov. 27, 2020. (Fars News Agency via AP)-He called for “following up on this crime and certainly punishing the perpetrators and those responsible, and… continuing the scientific and technical efforts of this martyr in all of the fields he was working in,” according to a statement on the supreme leader’s official website.Khamenei called Mohsen Fakhrizadeh a “prestigious nuclear and defense scientist” and said he was “martyred by the hands of criminal and cruel mercenaries.”The slaying threatens to renew tensions between the United States and Iran in the waning days of President Donald Trump’s term, just as President-elect Joe Biden has suggested his administration could return to Tehran’s nuclear deal with world powers from which Trump earlier withdrew. The Pentagon announced early Saturday that it sent the USS Nimitz aircraft carrier back into the Mideast.Speaking to a meeting of his government’s coronavirus task force earlier Saturday, President Hassan Rouhani blamed Israel for the killing.Rouhani said that Fakhrizadeh’s death would not stop its nuclear program, something Khamenei said as well. Iran’s civilian nuclear program has continued its experiments and now enriches uranium to levels of up to 4.5 percent, far below weapons-grade levels of 90%.Iranian President Hassan Rouhani speaks in a meeting in Tehran, Iran, November 8, 2020. (Iranian Presidency Office via AP)-Analysts have compared Fakhrizadeh to Robert Oppenheimer, the scientist who led the US’s Manhattan Project during World War II that created the atom bomb.“We will respond to the assassination of Martyr Fakhrizadeh in a proper time,” Rouhani said.He added: “The Iranian nation is smarter than falling into the trap of the Zionists. They are thinking to create chaos.”Fakhrizadeh had been sanctioned by the UN Security Council and the US for his work on AMAD, which Israel and the US have said was Iran’s clandestine nuclear weapons program. Iran always described him as a university physics professor. A member of the Revolutionary Guard, Fakhrizadeh had been seen in pictures in meetings attended by Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, a sign of his importance in Iran’s theocracy.In recent years, US sanctions lists named him as heading Iran’s Organization for Defensive Innovation and Research. The State Department described that organization last year as working on “dual-use research and development activities, of which aspects are potentially useful for nuclear weapons and nuclear weapons delivery systems.”Agencies contributed to this report.

Iranian national caught after sneaking onto Israeli-owned ship — report-Israeli TV says the man is believed to have slipped aboard Zim vessel in Turkey, was discovered by crew after 3 days and handed over to Italian police-By TOI staff-nov 28,20-Today, 6:07 pm

An Iranian national was caught hiding aboard a ship owned by Israeli shipping firm Zim, according to a report Saturday.The man is believed to have snuck aboard the vessel as it was anchored in Turkey. He was discovered after three days by the crew while the ship was at sea, Channel 12 news said.He was held by the crew for a day until the ship docked in the Italian port of Livorno, where he was handed over to local police after Zim asked Israel’s Foreign Ministry to help it coordinate with authorities in Italy, the network said.The report didn’t give any further information about the Iranian man, but noted the incident underlined concerns that a national of an enemy state could try to harm the crew because Zim is an Israeli company.The report came a day after the alleged head of Iran’s nuclear weapons program, Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, was assassinated outside Tehran, with Iranian officials blaming Israel for the incident and vowing revenge.

EU condemns killing of Iranian nuclear scientist as ‘criminal act’-Brussels urges ‘maximum restraint’ after Tehran points finger at Israel in deadly Friday ambush; Iranian leaders promise revenge-By TOI staff and Agencies-nov 28,20-Today, 3:20 pm 8

The European Union on Saturday condemned the killing of a top Iranian nuclear scientist a day earlier as a “criminal act” and urged calm and restraint as officials in Tehran blamed Israel for the assassination and vowed to respond.“In these uncertain times, it is more important than ever for all parties to remain calm and exercise maximum restraint in order to avoid escalation which cannot be in anyone’s interest,” said Peter Sano, lead spokesperson for the external affairs division of the European Union, based in Brussels.“This is a criminal act and runs counter to the principle of respect for human rights the EU stands for. The High Representative expresses his condolences to the family members of the individuals who were killed, while wishing a prompt recovery to any other individuals who may have been injured,” he added in a press statement.The announcement came a day after Iran’s top nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, linked to Tehran’s military nuclear program, was killed on Friday 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.As Fakhrizadeh’s sedan stopped, at least five gunmen emerged and raked the car with gunfire, the semiofficial Tasnim news agency said.Fakhrizadeh died at a hospital after doctors and paramedics couldn’t revive him. Others wounded included Fakhrizadeh’s bodyguards. Photos and video shared online showed a Nissan sedan with bullet holes in the windshield and blood pooled on the road.It was not yet clear how many people died in the ambush.US officials and most world leaders remained mum on the slaying as of Saturday mid-day, while the UN called for restraint and the former head of the CIA said the assassination was “highly reckless.”Germany’s Foreign Ministry issued a statement on Saturday urging restraint and urged “all parties to refrain from any steps that could lead to a further escalation of the situation,” Reuters reported.Earlier Saturday, both Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and Iranian President Hassan Rouhani vowed to respond to the slaying, with Rouhani directly blaming Israel for the assassination.Rouhani said that Fakhrizadeh’s death would not stop its nuclear program, something Khamenei said as well. Iran’s civilian nuclear program has continued its experiments and now enriches uranium up to 4.5 percent, far below weapons-grade levels of 90%.The killing threatens to renew tensions between the US and Iran in the waning days of President Donald Trump’s term, just as President-elect Joe Biden has suggested his administration could return to Tehran’s nuclear deal with world powers from which Trump earlier withdrew. The Pentagon announced early Saturday that it sent the USS Nimitz aircraft carrier back into the Mideast.In a statement, Khamenei called Fakhrizadeh “the country’s prominent and distinguished nuclear and defensive scientist.”He said Iran’s first priority after the killing was the “definitive punishment of the perpetrators and those who ordered it.” He did not elaborate.Rouhani said Iran would “respond to the assassination of Martyr Fakhrizadeh in a proper time.” He added: “The Iranian nation is smarter than falling into the trap of the Zionists. They are thinking to create chaos.”The attack comes just days before the 10-year anniversary of the killing of Iranian nuclear scientist Majid Shahriari that Tehran also blamed on Israel.

2020 PRESIDENT DONALD J TRUMP 271 ELECTORAL VOTES.(AFTER ALL THE LIBERAL STALLING,CRYING AND THERAPY GETTING ALREADY. AND TRUMP IS NOT DECLARED WINNER YET) (D6 USA ELECTION) SUN NOV 08,20

The United States of America is a federal republic[1] consisting of 50 states, a federal district (Washington, D.C., the capital city of the United States), five major territories, and various minor islands.[2][3] The 48 contiguous states and Washington, D.C., are in North America between Canada and Mexico, while Alaska is in the far northwestern part of North America and Hawaii is an archipelago in the mid-Pacific. Territories of the United States are scattered throughout the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea.States possess a number of powers and rights under the United States Constitution, such as regulating intrastate commerce, running elections, creating local governments, and ratifying constitutional amendments. Each state has its own constitution, grounded in republican principles, and government, consisting of three branches: executive, legislative, and judicial.[4] All states and their residents are represented in the federal Congress, a bicameral legislature consisting of the Senate and the House of Representatives. Each state is represented by two senators, while representatives are distributed among the states in proportion to the most recent constitutionally mandated decennial census.[5] Additionally, each state is entitled to select a number of electors to vote in the Electoral College, the body that elects the president of the United States, equal to the total of representatives and senators in Congress from that state.[6] Article IV, Section 3, Clause 1 of the Constitution grants to Congress the authority to admit new states into the Union. Since the establishment of the United States in 1776, the number of states has expanded from the original 13 to the current total of 50, and each new state is admitted on an equal footing with the existing states.[7] As provided by Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution, Congress exercises "exclusive jurisdiction" over the federal district, which is not part of any state. Prior to passage of the 1973 District of Columbia Home Rule Act, which devolved certain Congressional powers to an elected mayor and council, the district did not have an elected local government. Even so, Congress retains the right to review and overturn laws created by the council and intervene in local affairs.[8] As it is not a state, the district does not have representation in the Senate. However, since 1971, its residents have been represented in the House of Representatives by a non-voting delegate.[9] Additionally, since 1961, following ratification of the 23rd Amendment, the district has been entitled to select three electors to vote in the Electoral College.
