The following Schiller Institute statement has been approved for mass distribution by Chairwoman Helga Zepp-LaRouche:
Nov. 30 — The brutal assassination of Iran’s leading nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh must be seen for what it was – an act of terrorism. This terrible development, which the Iranian leaders blame on Israel (which has assassinated other Iranian scientists), has the potential to function as a trap for President Donald Trump, who is now battling to prove the massive vote fraud which was used in an effort to steal his re-election to a second term. Although the planning and approval of the assassination are still unclear, some Iranians and such fake-news media as the New York Times in the United States, suggest that the U.S. approved the killing, since it was the United States which carried out the January drone murder of Qasem Soleimani, the head of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards Corps.
