If Iran is going to do its dirty work in underground bunkers, away from the prying eyes of satellites and the bombs of aircraft, Israel will simply attempt to dismantle Iran's nuclear facilities one scientist at a time. Either embarrassed by Israel's apparent ease at eliminating a top Iranian scientist (since the UN is completely helpless to stop Iran's scramble towards a nuclear warhead), or legitimately upset with the assassination of a scientist who was working for the country he loved, the UN issued a (albeit half-hearted) condemnation of the attack.
Either way, Israel likely did itself, and the rest of the countries at risk of a nuclear Iran (essentially every nation on earth save North Korea, China, and Venezuela) a favor. Unfortunately, however, neither Israel (nor any other country) can hope to eliminate every person who can facilitate Iran's nuclear capabilities; and this set-back will serve as little more than a warning to the chief's successor. Maybe, however, the message will speak louder than a car bomb.
