Tehran – Iranian President Hassan Rouhani accused Israel on Saturday of backing the assassination of prominent nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh and seeking to “create chaos” in the region weeks before Joe Biden assumed the US presidency, stressing that his country would not fall into this “trap”.
While Rouhani stressed the “timely” response, the Islamic Republic’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, stressed the need to “punish” those responsible for the murder and continue Fakhrizadeh’s activities.
Rouhani said in a televised speech: “The Iranian nation is too smart to fall into the conspiracy trap set by the Zionists. They are thinking of creating chaos, but they must realize that we have exposed their tricks and we will not achieve their sinister goals “.
Iran’s “enemies” warned that their country and its officials “are too brave to leave this criminal act unanswered. In due time, they will respond to this crime.”
On Friday, the Iranian Defense Ministry announced Fakhrizadeh’s death from his injuries shortly after he was targeted by “terrorist elements.” He explained that he was “seriously injured” after his car was attacked by attackers who faced gunshots with his companions and “died” in hospital despite attempts to revive him.
The operation took place in the city of Absard in Damavand province, east of Tehran.
Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif was the first to point the accusing finger at Israel, after confirming the death of “serious indications” of his role.
Earlier yesterday, Rouhani said that Israel had played the role of an “agent” in the assassination of “global arrogance,” a phrase Iranian officials often use to refer to the United States.
“Once again, the hands of global arrogance and its agent of the Zionist entity were stained with the blood of one of the sons of Iran,” he said in a statement posted on the presidential website, considering that the death of the scientist from 59 years is a “great loss.”
Yesterday, Khamenei praised Fakhrizadeh.
“One of the most distinguished and distinguished scientists in our country in the nuclear and defense fields, Mr. Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, was martyred at the hands of criminal and mischievous agents,” reads a statement posted on the guide’s website. .
He added: “All officials must seriously place two important issues on their agenda. The first is to prosecute this crime and inevitably punish those who perpetrated it and those who gave orders to commit it, and the other is to continue the martyr’s scientific and technical efforts in all the fields in which he was working. “
Fakhrizadeh is one of the foremost Iranian academics in his field, and he was the head of the Department of Research and Innovation Organization at the Ministry of Defense.
The US State Department placed his name on the sanctions list in 2008 for “activities and operations that contributed to the development of Iran’s nuclear program,” and Israel previously accused him, through its Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, of being behind a “military” nuclear program that Tehran denies exists.
The assassination occurred about two months before Biden took office, and it was he who promised to “turn the tide” of his outgoing predecessor, Donald Trump, with Iran. The latter adopted a policy of “maximum pressure” against Tehran, which included in particular the unilateral withdrawal in 2018 of the agreement on its nuclear program and the re-imposition of tough economic sanctions on it.
Iran previously saw in Biden’s victory an opportunity for Washington to make up for its “past mistakes.” Biden was vice president of the United States at the conclusion of the nuclear deal between Tehran and the major powers in 2015.
Rouhani hinted in his speech during a meeting of the National Authority to Combat Covid 19, that there is a link between the timing of the assassination and Biden’s imminent assumption of duties.
“This barbaric assassination shows that our enemies are going through difficult weeks, in which they feel that their period of pressure is receding and the international situation is changing,” he said.
He considered that Iran’s enemies “want to make the most of the remaining weeks” with the aim of “creating an unstable situation in the region.”
On Friday, the New York Times quoted a US official and intelligence officials as saying that Israel was “behind the attack on the scientist.”
Israel has not commented on the killing. While the media today indicated an increase in the security alert at its embassies around the world, a spokesman for the Israeli Foreign Ministry in Jerusalem declined to confirm it.
In light of the decades-long disruption of relations between Iran and the United States, the situation between them witnessed an escalation of tension during the Trump era, especially in the wake of the assassination by Washington of Major General Qassem Soleimani, commander of the Quds Force in the Revolutionary Guard, in an airstrike near Baghdad airport last January.
Analysts and former officials warned that the operation threatens to increase tension in the region, especially between Tehran, on the one hand, and Washington and its ally Tel Aviv.
Former CIA director John Brennan called the assassination a “criminal and reckless act”, warning that it could lead to “escalation … and a new round of regional conflict.”
In Tehran, the Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Iran, Major General Muhammad Hossein Bagheri, threatened “cruel revenge” for the murder of the nuclear scientist.- (AFP)
