🇮🇱🇮🇷 New details of the Fakhrizadeh assassination emerge in the Iranian press: IRGC-affiliated Fars News reports the assassination was done using an automatic machine gun operated with a remote control and not with gunmen who were on the ground.

According to the report Fakhrizadeh and his wife were on their way to spend the weekend at their house in a Tehran suburb. There were three security cars with them and at a certain point the leading car left the motorcade to do a preliminary security check of the house.

Right after the car at the front of the motorcade left, shots were fired on Fakhrizadeh’s car and it stopped. Fakhrizadeh stepped out of the car thinking his car hit an object on the road or there was a problem with the engine.

At that point shots were fired again from a Nisan pickup truck which stopped 150 meters from Fakhrizadeh’s car. The shots were fired from an automatic machine gun which was mounted on the pickup truck and operated by remote control.

Fakhrizadeh was hit by three bullets – one hit him in the spine. Seconds later the Nisan pickup truck exploded in what looks like a self destruct mechanism. According to Fars News, Iranian security forces identified the owner of the pickup truck who left Iran on October 29th.

Fars reported the assassination operation lasted only three minutes and was all done by remote control with no gunmen on the ground.

Blood outside is the blood of whoever stepped outside, but it is implausible of Fakhrizadah to be the one who gone outside but rather his bodyguard who died of his injuries today.

The car windshield has 3 bullets and these are likely the ones that killed Fakhrizadah.

The car parts weren't spread all around which tells that the explosive load was few kilograms. This could fit that it's likely for destroying the alleged mechanism as the blue nissan truck could fit the mechanism. It exploding far from the car makes it less likely to have been the method of execution.

I think the story is still inconclusive and still needs revision. It's expected to be updated or revised.
🇮🇱🇺🇸 This is Biden’s pick for Secretary of State. Only a delusional would think Iran shouldn't respond and wait for Biden.

🇮🇱🇧🇭🇦🇪 Israel's Headquarters for Counter-terrorism (National Security Council) issued a travel warning for Israelis heading to Bahrain and the Emirates, currently a relatively low level threat.

Note #1: The Iranian retaliation, when it happens, wont target Israeli tourists or diaspora.

Note #2: Hebrew media deleted the news just now. I guess it got leaked unintentionally. Or censored by the military.
🇮🇱 After killing him, following the rule of shoot first then ask questions, the Israeli police seem to have changed its assessment and now the Palestinian killed was not performing a ramming operation.
🇮🇱🇮🇷 Following a successful surgery, Hamed Asghari, the bodyguard of Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, is now stable. He was one of the bodyguards that engaged the armed assailants on November 27th.
