Iranian state media reported on Friday morning that top nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh was assassinated near the capital city of Tehran by unidentified “terrorists” after a fierce battle with his security team.
Fakhrizadeh was described as the “father of the Iranian bomb” in a famous 2018 presentation by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Iran’s Tasnim news agency quoted a statement from the Defense Ministry that said “armed terrorist elements” attacked Fakhrizadeh’s car on Friday, severely wounding him during a firefight with his bodyguards.
According to Tasnim, the injured nuclear scientist was taken to a hospital, where “efforts by the medial teams to resuscitate the Iranian scientist failed and he was martyred.”
Tasnim reported explosives were used in the attack and “a number of people have been killed in the incident,” possibly including relatives of Fakhrizadeh who were traveling with him.
Iran’s Fars news agency says the attack included “an explosion and machine gun fire.”
“Eyewitness accounts confirmed that Fakhrizadeh’s car came under attack first by a blast and then by two terrorist teams who sprayed bullets at his car as they moving in opposite directions. Eyewitnesses also said three to four individuals, most likely all terrorists, have been killed in the attack,” Fars reported, stating that at least two other dead bodies were spotted at the hospital.
Iran’s PressTV quoted Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif claiming there was evidence of Israeli involvement in the attack.
“Terrorists murdered an eminent Iranian scientist today. This cowardice – with serious indications of an Israeli role – shows the desperate warmongering of the perpetrators,” Zarif said on Twitter.

If anyone has not seen the film “Munich,” I highly recommend it. Those assassinations were more retributive than preemptive.
Mossad, you gotta love them/
all i know for sure is it wasn’t us
Hope he got his 72 virgin computer nerds
Think of the dead guy as their Leslie Groves...
Splat.

Well the news today is not all bad.
“efforts by the medial(medieval) teams to resuscitate the Iranian scientist failed and he was martyred(wormfood).”
Yes, it was on hbo a couple of days ago. Daniel Craig before Bond.
Didn’t Iran have a nuclear scientist assassinated a few years ago?
How do we know it wasn’t the same guy who was responsible for the “martyrdom” of Gen. Soleimani? President Donald J. Trump.
“I’m deeply saddened!”😱...🥳
Appears to have elements of a suicide hit.
Question: Does Iran rest all its “nuclear know how” in one single scientist?
—
All the others were killed off over the past few years; he was the last of the best.
I can fully understand why the Israel’s acted now. Under a Biden administration the appeasement of Iran started by Obama will be revived and an Iranian nuke will quickly become a reality.
This made my day! More winning.
If Mossad can reach out and touch a big shot in Tehran then Iranian bad guys aren’t safe any where.
Watch out bad guys, they’re coming for your sorry asses.
