Rouhani accuses ‘mercenary’ Israel of killing top Iran scientist

Iranian president accuses Zionist regime of assassinating high-ranking nuclear physicist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh.

 

Iran’s president has accused Zionist regime of killing a high-ranking Iranian nuclear physicist long suspected by the West of masterminding a secret nuclear bomb programme.

 

“Once again, the evil hands of global arrogance were stained with the blood of the mercenary usurper Zionist regime,” President Hassan Rouhani said in a statement.

 

“The assassination of martyr [Mohsen] Fakhrizadeh shows our enemies’ despair and the depth of their hatred … His martyrdom will not slow down our achievements.”

 

The Defense Ministry of Iran confirmed that nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh has been martyred after an assassination attack.

 

In a statement, the Defense Ministry said “armed terrorist elements” have attacked the car carrying Fakhrizadeh, head of the Defense Ministry’s Research and Innovation Organization.

 

In a clash between the scientist’s bodyguard team and the assassins, Mr. Fakhrizadeh was seriously wounded and taken to the hospital, it noted.

 

The efforts by the medial teams to resuscitate the Iranian scientist failed and he was martyred, the statement added.

 

Reports suggest that the assassins had detonated another vehicle before shooting at the car carrying Fakhrizadeh.
