'US pressuring Israel to stop killing Iran nuclear scientists' By JPOST.COM STAFF

CBS News reports that Obama administration officials want an end to the targeted killings, believed by many to be the work of Mossad.

The United States is reportedly pressuring Israel to stop assassinating Iranian nuclear scientists, a number of whom have been mysteriously killed in a campaign thought to be carried out by Mossad.

According to CBS News, Obama administration officials have communicated to Israeli intelligence their wish for a cessation of the targeting of scientists in order to allow diplomatic negotiations aimed at rolling back Iran’s nuclear program to take their course.

While Israel has never officially acknowledged that it was behind the killings, it is widely believed that Mossad agents carried out the hits in an effort to slow down Iran’s nuclear development as well as to deter the country’s top scientific minds from cooperating with the government’s clandestine weapons program.

whenever anyone writes that Israel, or really every government in the world, should refrain from killing people, that cannot be an considered an antagonizing position, it is a humane position.
