Mohsen Farizade, who was allegedly one of the leaders of Iran’s nuclear program, was assassinated by unknowns, the New York Times reports.
The Iranian scientist was sitting in his own car when he was attacked, shot and seriously injured.
Although he managed to take him to the hospital with him, the doctors could no longer save his life.
According to the United States and the Israeli secret service, Farizade has been the leader of the Iranian nuclear program for almost two decades.
According to the New York Times, Farizade, who was a member of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard and also played a key role in missile production, has long been the number one target of Mossad.
Many members of the Iranian scientific staff have died in recent years, and the newspaper says that the Israeli secret service may have been behind them.
Farizade, 63, has been wanted to be questioned by the International Atomic Energy Agency for some time about his role in Iran’s nuclear development program, but the Iranian leadership has disagreed, saying
He is a simple scientist who teaches at Hussein Imam University in Tehran.
However, CIA reports revealed that Farizade’s college education was just a cover story and indeed played a major role in Iran’s nuclear developments.
According to Reuters, the assassination may have been aimed at increasing tensions between Iran and its enemies, including the United States, Israel and the Sunni Arab countries.
The news agency also reported that, in response to the assassination, several senior Iranian military leaders, including Ayatollah’s military adviser Ali Hameene, had accused Israel of committing the assassination and
they swore revenge for the murder of Farizade.
Iranian Foreign Minister Mohamed Javan Zarif also stated that Israel likely had something to do with the assassination.
The Israeli newspaper Haarec said the Tel Aviv government had not yet responded to the Iranian accusations. They added that the fact that there is a public holiday in Israel when politicians rarely make a statement can also play a role in this.
However, local media recalled that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had drawn attention to Iranian nuclear scientist Mohsen Farizade at a press conference two years ago, saying that
Remember your name
It was also written that Farizade had allegedly survived an assassination attempt a year ago and had been in hiding ever since.
US President Donald Trump did not comment on the news of Farizade’s assassination, but shared the news several times on his own Twitter.
