Ret Adm McRaven says retaliation for assassination of top Iranian nuclear scientist all but certain
Retired Navy Adm. William McRaven, the former Navy SEAL and special operations commander who oversaw the bin Laden raid, said Sunday that Iranian retaliation for the assassination of a prominent nuclear scientist is all but certain.
Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, a former officer in Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and a physics professor who made substantial contributions to Iran's nuclear program, was killed outside of Tehran on Friday, state media reported.
Shortly after news of the attack broke Friday, Iranian officials began blaming Israel. Accusations have continued for days, as have threats of retaliation.
"Iran, you know, either suspects or knows that Israel was responsible for this attack," McRaven told Martha Raddatz on ABC's "This Week."
The retired admiral added that "then, of course, kind of by association, they're going to assume that we either collaborated with it or at a minimum were witting of the Israeli actions."
