The British daily The Guardian said that the assassination of Iranian nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh on Friday may not have a significant impact on the Iranian nuclear program, in which he participated in the establishment, but will make it difficult to rescue the nuclear deal that aims to restrict this. program, which is the most reasonable motive for the murder.
The newspaper stated, in a report prepared by its editor for international affairs, Julian Berger, that there is almost a consensus that Israel is behind the assassination, as reports indicate that Mossad was behind a series of assassinations of other nuclear scientists. Iranians, and Israeli officials hinted from time to time that these reports are true.
And if it is proven that the Mossad was behind the assassination of Fakhri Zadeh – as the report says – then Israel will seize the opportunity to carry out the green light operation of an American president, and there is no doubt that Donald Trump, who seeks playing the role of saboteur during the last weeks of his government, he will approve the assassination. If not, it helps to implement it.
And some recent news reports indicated that Trump had asked to provide him with military options that the United States could take against Iran following its defeat in the presidential election by its Democratic rival, Joe Biden.
The newspaper report included the opinion of Century Foundation investigator Dina Esfandiari, who said that Israel could not carry out the assassination operation without getting the green light from Washington, and explained that, “Regarding motives, I believe which is pressuring Iran to commit a stupid act. Ensuring that the Biden administration is handcuffed when it seeks to resume negotiations and stop the escalation. “
The newspaper pointed out that the murder of the Iranian scientist serves other purposes, although to a lesser extent; Fakhrizadeh was the only Iranian nuclear scientist mentioned in the final evaluation of the military aspect of the Iranian nuclear program presented by the International Atomic Energy Agency, as the mastermind behind the “Imad Project” aimed at developing Iran’s ability to build a nuclear bomb.
According to the IAEA, the “Emad project” was suspended in 2003, but Fakhrizadeh remained among a network of scientists with knowledge and experience in the field of nuclear weapons.
For his part, Aryan Tabatabai, a Middle East researcher at the German Marshall Fund and author of a book on Iran’s national security strategy, compared the assassination of Fakhri Zadeh to the assassination by the United States of the Guard commander. Iranian revolutionary Qassem Soleimani earlier this year.
Tabatabai said: “Fakhrizadeh represented for Iran’s nuclear program what Soleimani represented for his network of representatives, as he played an active role in its development (the nuclear program), establishing the infrastructure to support it and ensuring that his death would not fundamentally change. the course of the Iranian nuclear program “.
The newspaper also quoted Elie Geranmaye, a political affairs official at the European Council on Foreign Relations, as saying that “the aim of killing him (Fakhri Zadeh) was not to prevent the nuclear program, but to undermine diplomacy.”
He ruled out that the assassination of the prominent Iranian nuclear scientist would have a major impact on Iran’s ability to develop nuclear weapons if Tehran made the decision to do so.
