[NYPOST] An Iranian scientist who was developing top-secret missiles and drones mysteriously died after a dinner party.

Ayoob Entezari reportedly returned home after the party with food poisoning symptoms and later died in the hospital.
Seems like instead of infrastructure, Someone (cough, cough) is going after the personnel
Other reports suggested Entezari was assassinated by Mossad, the Israeli national intelligence agency.

The judicial authorities of Yazd Province, however, said Dr. Entezari was just an ordinary employee of an industrial company and died in the hospital due to “illness”.
Long list of other sudden deaths in recent years of key Iranian personnel can be read at the link.

#12  These things do happen. His first few months in Egypt, Mr. Wife alternated between food poisoning and dysentery until he gave up eating meat — even from the fancy restaurants of the Mena House hotel — and then anything washed and uncooked. But his last attack of food poisoning followed a private dinner party hosted by colleague’s wife in Geneva, and his last attack of dysentery probably resulted from breathing the dust after he landed in Mumbai, before he either ate or drank.

Or it could have been poison. Those Persians are as subtle as Byzantines, ‘tis said.

#5  I've felt bad after returning home from a party too. But not that bad. Sometimes you're better off bringing your own food and drink.

"...What did he have?"

"The dead."
