Iranian nuclear scientist was assassinated near Tehran, Iran’s Ministry of Defense said he died after rescue failed - DayDayNews

According to Iran’s official news agency, the Iranian Ministry of Defense, Iran’s Ministry of Defense stated that on Friday afternoon local time, armed forces attacked a vehicle carrying Fahrizad, the head of the Ministry of Defense’s research and innovation agency. During the conflict with his security team, Fahrizad was seriously injured and taken to the hospital. A few minutes later, Fahrizad died of ineffective rescue.

For a long time, opponents of the Islamic Republic in exile in Western countries, Israel and Iran have suspected that Fahrizad planned what they said was a secret atomic bomb project that was stopped in 2003. Iran has long denied seeking to weaponize nuclear energy.

The semi-official news agency Fars News Agency, affiliated with Iran’s elite Revolutionary Guards, said that the nuclear scientist injured in the report was named Fahrizad.

Not long ago, several Iranian news sources, including the national television station IRIB, stated that a nuclear and missile scientist was assassinated in an attack. But there was no official confirmation of the death. Tehran’s Nuclear Energy Agency stated that there were no incidents involving nuclear scientists.

Iran’s national television station said in a rolling report on the incident: “The news source said that a scientist was assassinated by an unknown person in his bodyguard team.”

He was the International Atomic Energy Agency’s 2015 nuclear attack on Iran. The only Iranian scientist named during the "final assessment" of the plan and the open question of whether the nuclear program was designed to develop a nuclear bomb.

The International Atomic Energy Agency’s report stated that in the so-called AMAD program, he oversaw the activities of “supporting the possible military aspects of the (Iran) nuclear program”.

Israel also described the AMAD program as Iran’s secret nuclear weapons program, and stated that they have mastered a large part of Iran’s nuclear “files” that detail their work.

"Don't forget the name, Fahrizad," Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a speech in 2018 when he revealed details in the file, calling Fahri Zade is the head of the AMAD project.

Netanyahu said that after the AMAD was closed, Fahrizad continued to work in an organization of the Iranian Ministry of Defense, engaged in "special projects." After the assassination of

in Fahrizad, the commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard vowed that Iran will launch retaliation against the murdered nuclear scientist.
