The Response to the Fakhrizadeh Killing Shows the Regime's Isolation
(Begin-Sadat Center for Strategic Studies-Bar-Ilan University) Prof. Hillel Frisch - The dramatic killing of Iran's top nuclear scientist, Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, revealed just how porous is the Iranian security establishment. Dozens of well-placed Iranians appear to be willing to work with the U.S. and Israeli security services.

Photos of demonstrators in the streets after the Fakhrizadeh killing show hundreds at most.
