Updated at 1:15 p.m. ET: The Obama administration is denying any role in the killing of an Iranian university professor working at a key nuclear facility. White House spokesman Tommy Vietor said the U.S. "had absolutely nothing to do" with Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan's death and the U.S. condemns "all acts of violence, including acts of violence like what is being reported today."
Published at 9:46 am ET: Two assailants on a motorcycle attached a magnetic bomb to the car of an Iranian university professor working at a key nuclear facility, killing him and wounding two people on Wednesday, a semiofficial news agency reported.
The attack in Tehran bore a strong resemblance to earlier killings of scientists working on the Iranian nuclear program.

If we were not involved...

I suppose if we had hit him with a drone it would not have been a violent act.

Not likely done by the US. If anything Hussein would be attaching top secret plans to the guy’s windshield.

Whether we did it or not, we should claim credit, “Sauce for the gander, how does it feel? Now, stop your nuclear weapons program, or get more the the same.”
