U.S. intelligence agencies and UN nuclear observers have said that Fakhr-e-Zadeh’s coordinated military nuclear program was disbanded in 2003, but suspicions about Israel’s nuclear program in Tehran and its involvement have never ceased.
Iranian officials have blamed Israel for Friday’s attack in the Persian Gulf and during the remaining weeks of President Donald Trump’s tenure, including the US military, creating new tensions in the region.
Kahn published a passage written by Iranian analyst Sadullah Zarei, who argued Iran’s earlier response to a suspected Israeli airstrike that killed Revolutionary Guards soldiers in Syria was not far enough to stop Israel. He said the attack on Haifa needed to be more intense than Iran’s ballistic missile attack on American troops in Iraq after the US drone strike in Baghdad in January.
Attacking the Israeli city of Haifa and killing a large number of people “will surely lead to chaos, because the United States and the Israeli regime and its agents are in no way willing to take part in the war and military confrontation,” Zare wrote.
Kehan is a small circulating newspaper in Iran, with its editor-in-chief, Hussein Shariatmadari, appointed by Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and described as his adviser in the past.
Haifa in the Mediterranean has been threatened in the past by Iran and its pro-Lebanese terrorist group Hezbollah.
Such a strike would immediately avenge Israel and provoke widespread conflict throughout the Middle East. While Iran has never militarily targeted an Israeli city, it has in the past carried out attacks targeting foreign Israeli interests, including the killing of its scientists, such as the three Iranians recently released in Thailand in exchange for detained British-Australian Australian education. .
Israel is also widely believed to have its own nuclear weapons.
A closed-door hearing on Fakhrizadeh’s assassination was held in the Iranian parliament on Friday. The speaker of parliament, Mohammad Bakr Ghalibaf, then said that Iran’s enemies should mourn his death.
In a broadcast on Iranian state radio, he said he had no regrets other than a harsh response from the criminal enemy.
During the public session of the legislators, they were seen chanting: “Death to America! Death to Israel! They also began reviewing a bill that would stop inspections by the International Atomic Energy Agency. Following the country’s 2015 nuclear deal with world powers, the nuclear watchdog has given an unprecedented, real-time look at Iran’s civilian nuclear program.
Trump’s unilateral 2018 agreement with the U.S. The deal has been unveiled since the move. The Iranian civilian nuclear program has since continued its experiments and is now enriching the growing uranium stockpile to 4.5 ..% purity.
It is still below 90% of the weapons-grade level, although experts warn that Iran now has enough uranium to convert into fuel for at least two atomic bombs, if it chooses to pursue it.
Pictures of Fakhrizadeh’s casket were aired on state television in the former Shiite city of Mashhad in the east of Ikhran by Imam Reza. Iranian media reported on Sunday that one of the scientist’s bodyguards had also died from his injuries in Friday’s attack.
Khamenei has called Fakhrizadeh “the country’s leading and most respected nuclear and defense scientist” and called for a “definite punishment” for those behind the killings without disclosure.
Fakhrizadeh led Iran’s so-called Amad program, which Israel and the West have accused of taking military action in view of the possibility of building a nuclear weapon. The International Atomic Energy Agency says the “structured program” ended in 2003. U.S. intelligence agencies agreed with the assessment in a 2007 report.
Israel claims that Iran still intends to develop a nuclear weapon. He argues that Iran’s ballistic missile program and other research could help build bombs if pursued – especially in accordance with the provisions of the 2015 nuclear deal termination. Iran has long maintained that its nuclear program is peaceful and has no plans to build a nuclear bomb.
His assassination is likely to complicate Biden’s plans if President-elect Joe Biden says his administration will consider re-entering Tehran’s nuclear deal with world powers. It also risks open confrontation in the final weeks of Trump’s office because any retaliation could provoke a response from the U.S. military, now the one-time head of the Israeli military intelligence department, who now serves as director of the Tel Aviv University Institute.

“I urge the authorities to keep their mouths shut and not leak anything. He has already spoken out a lot, “he said, referring to the Israeli prime minister’s secret remarks to his supporters that he could not discuss everything he did last week.
“Any further evidence to help the Iranians decide to take revenge on Israel is a mistake,” Yadav said.
