Tehran: Iran has blamed Israel for the murder of its senior nuclear scientist Mohsin Fakhrizadeh. The scientist was murdered near Tehran. The attackers first surrounded their car and fired on them and after the attack, a car filled with explosives was also blasted.
US imposed ban
The killing of Mohsen Fakhrizadeh has badly upset Iran. The Iranian Defense Ministry said on Friday that Israel was definitely involved in the killing of the scientist and Iran would not sit silent. Let us tell you that in 2008, the US had imposed many restrictions on Fakhrizadeh, who played a key role in Iran’s nuclear program. At the same time, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called Fakhrizadeh the father of Iran’s nuclear weapons program.
Targeting international community
Iran’s Foreign Minister Mohammad Jawad Zarif said that there have been indications of Israeli role in the killing of nuclear scientist. He further said that by carrying out this cowardly act, the killers have proved that they want inflammatory action. Zarif slammed the international community, saying, “The international community should condemn this attack by ending its shameful double standards.”
Major General Mohammad Bagheri, the head of Iran’s Armed Forces, has warned the culprits to bear the brunt, describing the death of the nuclear scientist as a great terror for the country. He said that anyone who is involved in this massacre will have to pay the price. We will not sit silent, take revenge. According to the state agency IRNA, Bagheri said, “We assure the countrymen that we will not sit peacefully until the culprits are punished”.
Israelis kept silent
Fakhrizadeh’s assassination comes at a time when Biden is about to begin his term as US President. Biden spoke of renewed negotiations with Iran, but after the current developments it will not be easy for him to bring Iran to the negotiating table. Significantly, in the Donald Trump regime, the relationship between the US and Iran is very strong. At the same time, Israel has refused to say anything in this regard.
Cracking like lightning
Iran’s supreme leader and a former senior officer in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Hossein Dehghan, has said that Israel has tried to provoke war by killing our scientist. He said that America and Israel have been putting pressure on Iran, but today Israel has made it clear that it wants to provoke war by killing nuclear scientist. Hussaini further warned that we will break the killers like lightning and take revenge.
