Did Someone Assassinate The 'Father' Of Iran's Drone Program?

Bomb Kills Head Of Iran's Military Drone Program -- DEBKAfile

Reza Baruni, the father of Iran's military UAV program, died in a mighty explosion that destroyed his closely secured villa, debkafile's military and intelligence sources reveal. He lived in the high-scale neighborhood secluded for high Iranian officials in the southern town of Ahwaz in oil-rich Khuzestan.

Very few people in the country outside the top leaders and air force knew about his job and so his death was not generally appreciated as fatally stalling Iran's military drone program for many years.

My Comment: I tend not to link to DEBKAfile .... most of their reports I find are not reliable and/or incorrect. But this particular story is interesting .... it is a week old and no one has picked up on the story .... but my Iranian readers are telling me that it is true. Either way .... we will only know in the next few months/year if Reza Baruni is alive .... or dead. If dead, this tells me that there is (far) more happening in Iran than what we are being told.
