AhlulBayt News Agency: Senior Political Analyst Seyed Mostafa Khoshcheshm underlined Iran's resolve to take revenge for the assassination of its nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, but meantime, said Israel may resort to attacks against its own civilian targets in a false-flag operation in order to start a ballyhoo and preempt a major Iranian retaliation.
“One of the features of a successful retaliation is its surprising nature and uncertainty about its time. Surprise is a major factor for a successful attack and should always be born in mind by strategists in picking up the target of attack, the type of battlefield, type of attack and specially the time of attack. Under such circumstances, the Israelis now intend to make the Iranian attack predictable, specially when it comes to its timing as they do not want to be exhasted after standing on alert for a long time, and hence, are trying to provoke Iran to launch the retaliation in a rush and in a time span as short as possible,” Khoshcheshm told the Iranian state-run TV on Monday night."

“Meantime, the Zionists might mastermind a false-flag operation to attack their own civilians, like Israeli tourists, overseas, specially in some Arab countries of the region to accuse Iran and launch a political and media campaign on the international scene through the cooperation of the US and enjoy engagement of a third party state to mount pressure on Iran at international bodies for picking up civilians for an act of reprisal, all to dissuade Tehran's response and escape its act of reprisal,” he added.
Iranian nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh's car was targeted by an explosion and machinegun fire in Damavand's Absard 40 kilometers to the East of Tehran on Friday.
The nuclear scientist and one of his companions were immediately taken to a nearby hospital but he could not be saved.
