A top Iranian nuclear scientist was assassinated in Iran on November 27th in a brazen murder.

Was it Mossad or the CIA or both?

We will talk about the killing and look at U.S.-Iran relations as Joe Biden prepares to ascend to the White House.

Welcome to the December 3rd edition of the Real Story on the Socialist Program.

We need a new system. We need a new society.

We need to demand that which may have sounded impossible even a few weeks ago,

but is not only realizable, but an imperative necessity. U.S. Iran Relations, after another targeted assassination of an Iranian leader, is our subject on this episode of The Real Story.

talking to Muhammad Mirandi. Muhammad is an expert on American studies and post-colonial literature.

He teaches at the University of Tehran. We'll discuss U.S.-Iran relations. The Trump administration's

brazen assassination of a top Iranian general

Qasem Soleimani brought the two countries to the brink of an all-out war at the beginning of this year.

Now the assassination of a top Iranian nuclear scientist just last week has also ratcheted up tensions,

but now a new administration is preparing to assume office in the White House. What will change? What will remain the same?

Mohamed Mirandi is our guest. Muhammad, welcome. Thank you for inviting me, Brian.

It's a great honor to have you. Muhammad, first of all, you are in Iran. Let's just talk about

what happened, who was killed, and the reaction, the feeling, the sentiment of the Iranian people.

Well, it's pretty obvious that people are extremely outraged.

If a senior government official in the United States or anywhere else in the world was

murdered by a foreign-backed terrorist act, you would expect the same thing as what we're now seeing in Iran.

The Israeli regime in the past carried out a number of assassinations, killing four

Iranian scientists on different occasions during the Obama-Biden years.
