The top Iranian nuclear scientist, dubbed the “father of the Iranian bomb,” has been assassinated near Tehran, Iran’s government confirmed.
Mohsen Fakhrizadeh died from injuries after armed assassins fired upon his car, according to reports by Iranian media. Iran also blamed Israel as behind the killing without presenting evidence so far.
Little is known about Fakhrizadeh, a high-ranking Revolutionary Guard officer, long viewed as Iran’s top nuclear scientist overseeing the regime’s secret weapons programs.
Iranian state media shared photographs of a black Nissan sedan with multiple bullet holes through the windshield and blood on the road next to the car door. No group has immediately claimed responsibility for the attack.
Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif condemned the killing on Twitter and alleged “serious indications” of Israeli involvement.
Iran’s top army commander, Abdolrahim Mousavi, said the Islamic Republic reserves the right to take revenge, blaming the U.S. and Israel for the scientist’s killing.
Fakhrizadeh’s death comes days before the 10-year anniversary of the killing of Iranian nuclear scientist Majid Shahriari, which Iran also blamed on Israel.
And earlier this year, the U.S. carried out an airstrike that killed Qasem Soleimani, Iran’s top military commander.
Fakhrizadeh’s death is expected to further escalate tensions between Iran and the United States, which have soared under the Trump administration following the U.S. exit from the Iran nuclear agreement.
