1207: Imminent Threat
Iranian Nuclear Scientists, University of Alberta, and Flight 752
Intelligence reports suggest several passengers on the downed Ukrainian flight were Iranian scientists and engineers associated with nuclear research at the University of Alberta. Speculation exists that these individuals were attempting to flee Iran to avoid being held hostage or targeted by U.S. drones. The discussion explores whether the plane was intentionally targeted by the IRGC to prevent a "brain drain" of nuclear expertise.
