    Commentary:

    You’re linking to the Times of Israel. Since the news outlet operates in Israel, it is subject to censorship by the IDF, and they have chosen to use their power to censor the article.

    If you want information about assassinations of Iranian nuclear scientists, get their list from Wikipedia and google each of their names, looking for descriptions.

    en.wikipedia.org/…/Assassinations_of_Iranian_nucl…

    My guess: guided missile or drone strikes. All the assassinations happened at a time of Israeli air strikes over Iran. Whatever weapon was used, was deployed from airplanes. Given the high profile of the targets, Israeli intelligence agencies did their job this time (in Gaza, they seem to be feeding their troops AI slop).

      Thiel is totally obsessed with lotr, but with a warped sense of what they represent. he also named companies after mithril, lembas, anduril,etc.

      My bet is on small assassination drone. People like having windows in their bedroom. Small drone flies to house, has some mechanism to break window, then blows up once inside the bedroom.

      I bet it’s unpublished not because its technology of any particularly impressive degree. Its unpublished because everyday people could easily design the same thing with enough minor technical expertise

        Could also be unpublished because the method was absolutly inhumane.

      I’m guessing it’s witheld from publication because they are explicit US tech (eg Predator drones) that has been used to strike whole apartment buildings just to take out (possibly, if the intel is even correct) one scientist. Would look really bad when the US is still pretending they’re not really part of the conflict.

    Narnia? What an odd name. What did they kill them with, a lion or a wardrobe?

      I think the name schemes were themed around fantasy fiction because that is what the AI produces and therefor its outputs need to be vetted properly.

    Special weapon won’t save them in a long war with Iran. Which is why they want US involvement

    Comments going against Israel - so you agree that Iran should have nuclear weapons?

    • zarkanian@sh.itjust.works ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      It’s hypocritical for the United States to demand that other nations not have nuclear weapons when we have so many. The safest path is to use diplomacy to achieve a peaceful, mutual disarmament. Either everybody gets nukes or nobody does.

      Bomb Israel, don’t let those Nazi’s have nukes.

      Absolutely. It is crystal fucking clear that Iran will never be safe until it has nuclear deterrence.

      Only because genocidal zionazi supremacists control the us, and by extension g7+nato, Iran should not pursue nuclear energy, because Israel would always accuse them of pursuing more. There is no economic value for nuclear energy. Solar + batteries much more effective.

      Still, negotiations to that end are far more human. I wouldn’t want you to have nuclear weapons, but killing you should have a better reason Than my supremacy.

      It’s the only rational course of action we have left for them. They would be insane not to try. I don’t know if they will succeed. Mosad seems all powerful, but they will certainly try.

      The country is funded by a supermacist colonial ideology. The population need to be dezionified and other country should do their obligations in stoping a genocidal state

    Sounds like propaganda, based on the source

      It sounds nearly identical to the program Time said Palantir was using in Israel in December 2024 to help track Hamas

      “Where’s Daddy?” reportedly follows their movements by tracking their phones in order to target them—often to their homes, where their presence is regarded as confirmation of their identity.

      Except if they just come right out and say that, it becomes more difficult to deny the U.S. is already directly involved. Especially since they just gave members of Palantir positions in the U.S. military

        No one cares about whether or no they use a dashboard to track signals intelligence data. The interesting part of this story is the unpublished assassination weapon, not how they selected targets.

    I generally don’t believe Iran was on its way to building nuclear weapons, only nuclear energy. But, if we were to entertain for a moment the notion that they were, this is all pretty badass no?

    But, since it’s not the case this whole thing is frightening. Israel is a terrorist state and I’m tired of pretending otherwise.
