The wife of Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan, an Iranian nuclear scientist who was assassinated in Tehran in January, said Tuesday that her husband "sought the annihilation of the Zionist regime wholeheartedly," according to Iran's semi-official Fars news agency.
"Mostafa's ultimate goal was the annihilation of Israel," the agency quoted Fatemeh Bolouri Kashani as saying Tuesday.
Bolouri Kashani also underlined that her spouse "loved any resistance figure in his life who was willing to fight the Zionist regime and supported the rights of the oppressed Palestinian nation."
The report belies attempts by Iran to claim that its nuclear program is not military in nature.
Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan is described as "a chemistry professor and a deputy director of commerce at Natanz uranium enrichment facility." Fars says he was killed by Mossad agents, who used a method of attack similar to that used against Iranian nuclear scientist Massoud Ali Mohammadi in January 2010, as well as scientists Fereidoun Abbassi Davani and Majid Shahriari. Abbasi Davani survived the attack, but Shahriari died. Yet another Iranian scientist, Dariush Rezaeinejad, was assassinated by the same method in July of 2011.

OK, a few points here:
you're also going to take it as Iran being willing to NUKE said Palestinians who live IN Israel?
3) Notice the focus on "zionist regime," "Israel," and "the rights of the oppressed Palestinian nation" - if you're going to take this as a claim for militaristic intent of Iran's nuclear program, you're also going to take it as Iran being willing to NUKE said Palestinians who live IN Israel?
- they would obviously be targeting the palestinians the dispute is primarily based on in collateral fashion (a big no-no in Islam),
at least some of Israel's own intelligence experts believe any possible desire for the nuke on Iran's part is for deterrent purposes (and that Iran IS acting rationally as they are *not* suicidal)
The Arabs in Iran think its their destiny to wipe out Israel, one way or the other. Arabs see it as a victory if half of the Arab world is sacrificed to wipe out Israel.

Before the Hate Israel crowd shows up to say this is all Israeli propaganda.
Now we know for a fact that Iran wants a nuclear weapon and what they want it for.
I only hope God and the IDF crush Iran's nuclear program before its to late.
This coincides with Iran talking about preemptive strikes and telling the U.N. to go pound sand.
Here's the pertinent points of the article (or revelation, rather): A nuclear scientists wife says her husband worked to see the annihilation of Israel. Since he was a nuclear scientist, these two points are brought together - nukes, and israel's demise.
Therefore, Israel is PERFECTLY justified in perceiving an existential threat in Iran's nuclear program.
And BTW, bombing Tel Aviv, Haifa or Jaffah, would just kill Jews. Those cities have scant Arab populations...
...What on earth are you talking about? The cities threatened aren't in the west Bank or Jerusalem, but those predominantly and chiefly Jewish cities: Tel Aviv, Haifa, Beersheva, Ashkelon, Natanya etc. One nuke isn't going to blow up the entire state, nor would they be interested in that. They could wipe out Israel by blowing to smithereens it's economic center i.e. the Tel Aviv-Haifa region. And that would be the end of it.
Which is why the Nuclear scientist believed he was building a bomb for the purpose of "annihilating the Jewish state"?
You people will find an excuse for anything it appears.
Thanks for that, granted I'm not too up to speed on some of the aspects here, beyond knowing that Iran attacking any of these sites as such would see them promptly blown back to the stone age.
Oh, I must have missed the part of the article that said he was working on the bomb. My apologies.
Yes, I'll often look for excuses to not pay so much attention to what *politicians* are saying and instead focus on the words of the intelligence and military experts themselves. Terrible, I know.
If Iran were to nuke Tel-Aviv, Haifa etc, that would in effect destroy the Jewish/Zionist state. Muslims the world over would cheer in elation, that the dreaded 'zionist enemy', who apparently circumvents world peace (even though problems in middle east predate the creation of the Jewish state a few centuries...one would be better guided to blame the problems in the middle east on a mixture of colonialist exploitation and Islamic ineptitude) was finally gone.
So while there would certainly be vociferous condemnation from the west, Israel would have been destroyed, and millions of Jews, killed. To many, this would be well worth the consequences. In addition, Islam believes (and Iran actively promulgates) that before the coming of the 12th and final Mahdi, the world will be flung into a state of chaos. So perhaps there's a sense of manifest destiny that Iran attack Israel (or Saudi Arabia, since this has also been considered as a means to permanently impair the world's economy, and the life-blood of the western world).
Is this sarcasm? Mossad killed him for a reason. They don't just wipe out nuclear scientists for the hell of it.
Or, you're fixed in your views and you don't want to change them. This is pretty cogent evidence that Iran's nuclear program has weaponization in mind. And yet you still seek to extenuate their guilt.
And on another note; the fact this is even mentioned in Iranian media shows how little care or respect they have for those liberals shills who go out on the limb to defend their intentions as pure, and how sincere the Iranian desire is to obliterate the Jewish state from the annuls of time.

Well this sure does cripple the argument that Iran's nuclear program is for "peaceful purposes". If an Iranian scientists widow even claims that her husband worked for the destruction of the Zionist state, then that must then mean, beyond any doubt, that this subject matter is widely discussed amongst Iranians, particularly those involved in the nuclear program and the government. This also shouldn't be surprising, since in Iran, were dealing with an Islamic state, one naturally predisposed to opposing a Jewish state in a realm considered Islamic terrirtory. This should provide a clear rationale for why Iran's nuclear program probably doesn't have peaceful intentions in mind.
And since I know there will be those amongst you who will doubt the veracity of this article, here's the article from the FAR's website.Link
