Morris told Press TV's U.S. Desk that Obama's pandering to AIPAC was for "political purposes".

Majid Jamali Fashi pleaded guilty to murdering Massoud Ali Mohammadi.
Tehran's Public and Revolution Courts Prosecutor Abbas Jafari Dolatabadi announced at the time that Jamali Fashi had been trained in Mossad's military bases.

Majid Jamali Fashi said in his confessions aired by the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) on January 11, 2011, "I became acquainted with a number of Israeli officers on the Jerusalem-Tel Aviv highway after we had a visit to Israel and I received different training courses, including chasing, running, counter-chasing and techniques for planting bombs in a car."

He also mentioned during his confessions that small models of Dr. Mohammadi's house and his house surroundings were used during his training course.
