Iranian super spies go on world tour.

[s.rwitt]

In what appears to be Iran's attempt to get back at Israel for what they believe are Mossad coordinated bombings of Persian (presumably uni-browed) nuclear scientists, vehicles belonging to Israeli embassy staff have been targeted by explosive-weilding bike ninjas or other, more unspecified brands of ninja in India, Georgia, and allegedly Azerbaijan. As part of a brilliant psy-op strategy to mind their enemies into underestimating them, they've ensured that none of their targets have been killed in these ninja attacks.



The latest alleged attack (or rather, attempt at attack), in Bangkok this time, was foiled only hours ago when an Iranian 00 agent blew himself the up in a house. He then ran outside where he attempted to hail a taxi. Quickly realizing that it's a bad idea to pick up inept bombers, the taxi driver refused to stop at which point the Persian man displayed his disappointment (along with famous Persian temper) by hurling a hand grenade at the car.



With the police now on his tail he knew there was only one option, to destroy all operational evidence that he had carefully sewn into his pants. He accomplished this by hurling yet another hand grenade towards the police to get their heads down, bounced it off a tree, and blew the papers detailing the operation to unrecongnizable bits...along with his legs.



There is no direct evidence that the Iranian government is behind this attempt, but there is clear evidence that whoever is behind it decided to send an idiot.

Blow up Our Iranian scientists and we blow up your Jewish diplomats.
Maybe Mossad has a rival for best assassins in the middle east..

but the "assassins" havent actually managed to kill anyone... Iran is just kinda embarrassing itself atm, or as switt said... is trying to make everyone underestimate them by appearing laughably incompetent

[Strattios]

Each nation should stick to it's area of expertise when it comes to assassinations.

Israel is good at quick, surgical bombings on the ground.
America is good at Drone strikes and lightning raids.
Iran is good at kidnapping and then killing.

[s.rwitt]

No, when Mossad goes after people they actually kill them.

So what is your point? that mossad is better at committing terrorist acts?

It was pretty ing clear what the point was. Shall I draw you a diagram?

[ash874]

mossad is not just a garbage disposal agency, it also obtains evidence for israeli and foreign governments of all kinds of nasty things in the region

It's a time tested strategy of military brilliance.

im not sure 'assassin' is the right word for this failure of a person.

You better be careful posting confidential, anti-revolutionary stuff like that if you don't want your neighbor's car to explode next time he tries to go to work.

Does insurance cover derpy assassins?

Not that people will make it, but there is a clear distinction between nuclear scientists involved in a nuclear program under investigation for the IAEA, and diplomats. Not to mention detonating explosives in other countries.

And all they have managed to do is hurt civilians, anyhow.

There is no distinction, only you make it.

And one wife of an Israeli diplomat. Just saying, no one seems to care about that detail, nor that if she hadn't dropped off her kids only 3 minutes earlier they would have been dead.

[Kanaric]

This is an awesome story

[Kanaric]

That post came out wrong lol

[Rome101]

That was SO FUNNY, +rep!!!

Iran doesn't have much capability outside its own borders. It has to be frusterating to have people getting assassinated and being fairly powerless to strike back. Which is why they will continue to do all they can to get a nuke.

I really don't get the OP's mocking attitude of "Persians" in general (like the unibrow comment, wtf?). I think that the assassination of Iranian scientists is deplorable personally. Assassination is not in accordance with my values or the values I believe the US, at least, says to stand for.
