IRANIAN NUCLEAR PROGRAM MANAGER KILLED. Winds of war in the Gulf
Amid speculation about a possible Israeli attack on Iran in the coming weeks, Iranian state media reported a few minutes ago that the country's leading nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh was assassinated in Damavand, east of Tehran. He was reportedly accompanied by his bodyguard when they were attacked by a "suicidal" attacker at the entrance to Absard town.
According to Iran Front Page News, Fakhrizadeh was killed by bullets, but before the shooting, his car was stopped with an explosion in Mostafa Khomeini Blvd. Several others were reportedly killed in the incident, but were not still identified.
Fakhrizadeh was a brigadier general in the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corp (IRGC) and led Iran's nuclear weapons project.
He was also a professor of physics at Imam Hussein University in Tehran and was a former head of the Physics Research Center of Iran.
No one has claimed responsibility for the assassination yet, but the Israeli regime has a history of "Eliminating" nuclear scientists in Iran.
In 2018, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said "remember that name" after announcing that Mossad had obtained 100,000 files from Iran's secret nuclear archives. The files recovered by the Mossad focused on the secret Iranian nuclear program that was developed from 1999 to 2003 called Project Amad, led by Fakhrizadeh. When Iran joined the 2015 nuclear deal, it denied the existence of such a program.
After the killing of several nuclear scientists in Iran in April 2018, a "protective shield of secrecy and security" was launched around Fakhrizadeh in an attempt to protect him from Israeli assassins.
Sources in the Iranian army immediately spoke of "Bloody revenge" following the assassination.
