1. Was Israel

the perpetrator of this? or could it be another outside faction?

[sprinkleeninow]

4. Hmm. 'Outside faction'. MIHOP? LIHOP?

[bdamomma]

6. Those

abbreviations mean what again??? or do I have this on?

[sprinkleeninow]

8. I just looked for mine in the closet. 😁

3. The news regularly does 'CYA' reporting.

There were numerous sources. I chose this one to post. Mb some of the others didn't use 'apparent'.

5. There is an anti-Iran government terrorist group in Iran itself.

Some have said it's affiliated with Al-Qaeda, or ISIS.

So I'm not going to go automatically to "Blame Israel" or automatic "Blame the US," heck, it's possible it could be Russian based.

7. Russian

based??? I wouldn't put it past them???

9. Not personally considering it's Israel. In more nearly obvious category, Россия?

15. Not Russia's M.O.

Death by falling out of a building. Yes.

Death with a bullet to the head while being obscured by a public vehicle. Yes.

Slow Death by poisoning...or worse, survival. Yes.

Blatant attack. Nope.

Anti-Theocracy movement, disillusioned political dissidents, etc. elements in Iran with support from who knows where, yeah, I can see that.

10. &, of course, the "revenge" part will happen after January 20.

11. Here's me, the woman of diminishing faith. I talk a good game, but I am yet troubled in my soul.

Sure the Biden/Harris victory is a plus considering the flip side, the unthinkable of a second term [termite].
I'll rest a bit more easily by the 20th.

[UTUSN]

12. & yet a woman of sometimes *inscrutable* posts!1

(Talking about an Iran time bomb set to go off *after* the 20th. )

[sprinkleeninow]

13. I simply desire attaining the 20th for now. Then we shall see what needs be.

Yah, bc my 'belief system' encourages me to be strong and persevere no matter what. So I'll just try for one segment at a time.

[sprinkleeninow]

14. How do you mean? As in 'mysterious'? 11!

[UTUSN]

16. I think your post #13 clarified #11. Sort of. Almost.
