And the Iranian government stated: “Work is under way to prepare the nature of the response to the assassination of the nuclear scientist once the investigations are completed.”
No one has claimed responsibility for the attack, which killed the prominent Iranian nuclear scientist.
The office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declined to comment on the assassination and, in the United States, the Pentagon declined to comment.
Fakhrizadeh was described by Western countries as the leader of a secret program to produce an atomic bomb, and he was arrested in 2003, and Israel and the United States accuse Tehran of secretly trying to restart it.
On Wednesday, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani voiced his rejection of the draft resolution, passed by Parliament, to suspend inspection of nuclear facilities unless sanctions are lifted, saying it is “detrimental” to diplomatic efforts aimed at restore the nuclear deal with major countries and ease US sanctions.
The bill would ban international inspections of Iranian nuclear sites starting next month, if the United States does not lift the main sanctions imposed on Iran.
Speaking during a cabinet meeting, Rouhani said his administration “does not approve of this and considers it detrimental to diplomatic activities, and indicated that the deputies are strengthening their positions ahead of the elections scheduled for June.”
For his part, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Saeed Khatib said: “The government has clearly announced that it does not agree with this plan,” adding that, from the government’s point of view, “this plan is unnecessary and useless. “
