CNN, NYT Sympathize With Iranian ‘Scientist’ Who Wanted to Nuke Israel (VIDEO)

Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, killed on Friday, was not just some civilian scientist. Fakhrizadeh was a general in the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps.

Iranian leaders have repeatedly threatened to wipe Israel off the map, and Fakhrizadeh ran a nuclear program designed to give Tehran the weapon to carry out its threat. Those facts are what media reports about Fakhrizadeh’s death should have focused on — not the suspicions that Israel was involved, and certainly not portraying Iran as the victim.
