Newspapers around the world are reporting on the assassination of
Iranian physicist Masoud Ali Mohammadi. The Washington Post
reports, "Masoud Ali Mohammadi was killed as he left his house in
the north Tehran neighborhood of Qetariyeh. State television
showed images of crying people and houses with broken windows
as a burned-out motorcycle was taken away by security forces."
The Iranian government has blamed the United States of America
and Israel for this assassination.

Questions to Consider:
1. Can we learn anything about Iran from the fact that they have
blamed the U.S. and Israel very early into this investigation? Why or
why not?
2. Do you think it is significant that Mr. Mohammadi's name was
on a list of supporters of the political opposition in the last election?
Why or why not?
3. Imagine that you were an advisor to U.S. President Barack
Obama and the U.S. did not orchestrate this assassination. How
would you recommend that the President respond to Iranian
allegations? Why? What if the U.S. did orchestrate the
assassination, how would you recommend that the President
respond to the allegations? Why?
4. What three questions, other than "Who was behind the
assassination" would you ask about this assassination in order to
learn more about it? Why would you ask these three questions?
Questions for Younger Children
1. What is the appropriate way to behave towards somebody who
you really dislike? Why?
2. Is it OK to really dislike somebody? Why or why not?
3. Do you think that it is ever OK to hit somebody? Why or why
not?
4. What one nice thing would you like to say to somebody else
today?
