Israel is behind the assassination of Iranian scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh: “An American official and two other intelligence executives tell the New York Times”. According to the newspaper, “it is not clear how much the United States knew prior to the operation. But the two countries are closely allies and have been sharing intelligence on Iran for a long time.”

Iranian President Hassan Rohani has accused arch enemy Israel of acting as a “mercenary” of the United States by assassinating one of the top scientists in Iran’s nuclear program in Tehran. “Once again, the evil hands of global arrogance, with the usurping Zionist regime as a mercenary, are stained with the blood of a son of this nation,” Rohani writes on his official website referring to the murder of Mohsen Fakhrizadeh. Iran generally uses the term “global arrogance” to address the United States.

Those who ordered the assassination of nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh should be “punished,” said Tehran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. “The leading scientist in the field of nuclear and defense technology has been assassinated by criminal and ruthless mercenaries and his efforts in technology and science must continue,” added Khamenei, who expressed his closeness to the scientist’s family and the scientific community. .
