Michael 'Mick' Mulroy spoke with i24NEWS on the recent assassination of Iran's nuclear chief, Mohsen Fakhrizadeh-Mahabadi.

Mulroy, who served in the Pentagon and the CIA, also talked about the likely Middle East policy under the Biden administration.

Mulroy said that President Donald Trump's pulling out of the Iran nuclear deal was not sufficient because the regime continued its nuclear program, hence other means had to be taken against Tehran.

"To prevent them from gaining a nuclear weapon, it looks like something else needs to be done, so that goes to the assassination," he said. His assassination was most likely a "very sophisticated service that was involved."
