The Iranian nuclear physicist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh († 62), assassinated in late November, was apparently killed with a satellite-controlled machine gun. This was reported by the circles of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. It is said that it was a high precision weapon. The murdered man is considered the father of the Iranian nuclear weapons program.
The attackers had used an “advanced camera and artificial intelligence” in the attack, Revolutionary Guard deputy commander Ali Fadavi said on Sunday. The machine gun mounted on a Nissan pickup “zoomed in” on his face and fired 13 shots.
The woman stood “only 25 centimeters away”
Fakhrizadeh’s wife was not hit, “although she was only 25 centimeters away,” the Mehr Fadavi news agency said.
Fakhrizadeh was accompanied by eleven security forces of the Revolutionary Guard. His head of security was beaten four times when he protectively threw himself on the scientist. There “there were no terrorists,” Fadavi added. The weapon was controlled by satellite.
Iran accuses Israel
Iranian scientist Fakhrizadeh was killed in a targeted attack near Tehran. Iran accused Israel and the opposition group in exile, the People’s Mujahideen, of being behind the attack.
Several reports have been published since the attack. The Iranian Defense Ministry had initially stated that there had been an exchange of fire between the attackers and Fakhrizadeh’s security guards. Later there was talk of a remote control weapon. (SDA / kes)
