Marjorie Cohn, professor emerita at Thomas Jefferson School of Law and former president of the National Lawyers Guild, discusses the recent assassination of Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, Iran's top nuclear scientist, on November 27th. As she writes in a recent article in TruthOut: 

“Although the Israeli government has not claimed credit for the illegal killing, there is little doubt of its culpability. Trump implicitly praised the assassination, retweeting a comment by Israeli journalist and intelligence expert Yossi Melman that the killing was a “major psychological and professional blow” to Iran. This was an “implicit approval if there ever was one,” according to Sina Toossi, a senior research analyst at the National Iranian American Council.” (https://bit.ly/3ahMoMz)

I ask Marjorie the purpose of this very dangerous move, as it may very well lead to a full-scale war between the US, Israel, and other regional players — particularly as we prepare for a transition of power to a Biden presidency next month. 

Marjorie Cohn is professor emerita at Thomas Jefferson School of Law, former president of the National Lawyers Guild, deputy secretary general of the International Association of Democratic Lawyers and a member of the advisory board of Veterans for Peace. Her most recent book is ‘Drones and Targeted Killing: Legal, Moral, and Geopolitical Issues.’
