As we told you earlier, Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif called on the international community to condemn Israeli “terrorists” after Iran’s top nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh was assassinated.
Former CIA Director John Brennan isn’t happy about the news, and took to Twitter to ask Iran for patience because some of their closest allies about about to occupy the White House again:
This was a criminal act & highly reckless. It risks lethal retaliation & a new round of regional conflict.
Iranian leaders would be wise to wait for the return of responsible American leadership on the global stage & to resist the urge to respond against perceived culprits. https://t.co/0uZhyBTM3S— John O. Brennan (@JohnBrennan) November 27, 2020
I do not know whether a foreign government authorized or carried out the the murder of Fakhrizadeh. Such an act of state-sponsored terrorism would be a flagrant violation of international law & encourage more governments to carry out lethal attacks against foreign officials.

These assassinations are far different than strikes against terrorist leaders & operatives of groups like al-Qaida & Islamic State, which are not sovereign states. As illegitimate combatants under international law, they can be targeted in order to stop deadly terrorist attacks.

Obviously Brennan’s devastated by the news. We’re expecting other Obama administration alumni to join him.
Brennan absolutely furious about one of the Iranian regime's nuclear masterminds getting bumped off. https://t.co/JgYr7FRIsb

John Brennan is against assassinating people without trial now? It's a Thanksgiving Miracle.

Yeah, probably the guy was a pacifist working on the covid-vaccine.

And by "return of responsible American leadership" he means a corrupt team that will sell America out to the highest bidder. https://t.co/AAQY3juuKx

Exactly!
Oh you really are something ??? Iran is the worlds top state sponsor of terror and you assisted in aiding/abetting the enemy with the Iran deal – how much money did the Obama admin turn over to the regime? Sad and criminal were those actions ??? https://t.co/RWxqakzzHu

Sure does!
Maybe you should send Iran another plane filled with cash.
There are words.
And there are the records of actual actions from each administration https://t.co/NsKK9oxD6S

One thing Iran and others can take heart in:
Don’t worry, the Surrender Brigade is on the way!
