Former CIA head, Cruz trade jabs over killing of Iranian nuclear scientist:

'You are unworthy to represent the good people of Texas'

Former CIA head John Brennan and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) traded jabs on Twitter Friday over the killing of Iran's nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh.

Fakhrizadeh was shot and killed by "armed terrorist elements" while in a vehicle in the town of Absard and died in the hospital after doctors were unable to save him, according to state media. Several Iranian officials blamed Israel for the killing on Friday, and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has yet to respond.

Brennan, who served as CIA director from 2013 to 2017, tweeted on Friday that the killing was a "criminal act and "highly reckless."

He added that Iran should wait for President-elect Joe Biden to be sworn in, saying it would be wise to "wait for the return of responsible American leadership" and to "resist the urge to respond against perceived culprits."
