'He wanted to get martyred and his wish came true': Iranian nuclear chief scientist's widow appears on state TV with her husband's coffin as supreme leader vows to avenge his assassination 'by Israel'

Mohsen Fakhrizadeh-Mahabadi was killed in an ambush involving an explosion and then machine gun fire on a road between the countryside town of Absard and the capital of Tehran yesterday.
His death sent tensions in the regions skyrocketing as Iran accused Israel of trying to provoke a war by assassinating Fakhrizadeh-Mahabadi.
And, in an intervention that risks inflaming conflict even further, former head of the US's Central Intelligence Agency John Brennan labelled the assassination a 'criminal' act and branded it 'highly reckless'.
Hossein Dehghan, who is a presidential candidate in Iran's 2021 election as well as an adviser to its supreme leader Ali Khamenei, echoed the claim that Israel was behind the attack and issued a warning. He said: 'We will descend like lightning on the killers of this oppressed martyr and we will make them regret their actions.'
His
stark warning follows reports yesterday that Trump has deployed
the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz to the Persian
Gulf alongside other warships in order to provide 'combat support and
air cover' for soldiers withdrawing from Iraq and Afghanistan.

Iran was and is well on its way to building a nuclear bomb. A nuke in the hands of this radical, fundamentalist, Islamic regime would be something no civilized country should allow.
Any nation that takes steps to stop it should be praised.
