Topic: Magnetic Bombs

An ex-CIA counterterrorism official on CNN argued that Iran was behind attempted assassinations in India and Georgia because the "magnetic bomb" technique matched the method used to kill Iranian scientists in Tehran. The hosts point out the logical flaw: if the same method was used to kill Iranians, it is more likely the work of the same assassin (potentially Mossad or CIA) rather than Iran killing its own scientists.

The hosts discuss the "James Bond style" assassination of Iranian nuclear scientist Mostafa Ahmadi-Roshan via a magnetic bomb attached to his car by motorcyclists. They note this is the fourth such assassination in three years. While Iran blames Israel, the hosts analyze the scripted nature of the international response.
