So, who do you think killed the Iranian scientists?

5. I think it was an inside job.

It was either the Iranian group trying to overthrow the current government or, who I really think is responsible; the current Iranian government. While the US and Israel are always possibilities, I think this has more about preventing upcoming talks, not the Iranian nuclear program. How I see it: killing nuclear scientists is not going to stop the program, short of a massive kill. If anything, it could force the Iranians to speed up the process. However, if these people were leaks, say to the Israelis, US, or even the IAEA, then it could be the current government trying to shut them up.

With all the "Chicken little" stories about attacks on Iran over the past ten years, one thing has changed over the past several months. Though the "toughman" rhetoric hasn't stopped, the actual accusations have started "drying up." We are seeing more and more "top advisers" in Israel, the US, and Europe, saying it isn't possible for Iran to develop the weapons, or the schedule, which was "just months away," has slipped to "years" once again. If it comes out that Iran is full of shit, it will show a huge weakness.

Were all 5 done by the Iranian government? I don't know. But this one, I think this one was to stop a leak or stop talks.
