DUBAI, United Arab Emirates - Iran’s foreign minister is alleging the killing of a scientist linked to the country’s disbanded military nuclear program has “serious indications” of an Israeli role.
Mohammad Javad Zarif made the statement Friday on Twitter. Israel has declined to comment, though Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu himself has named the scientist slain outside of Tehran.
“Terrorists murdered an eminent Iranian scientist today. This cowardice - with serious indications of Israeli role - shows desperate warmongering of perpetrators,” Zarif wrote.
An Iranian scientist that Israel alleged led the Islamic Republic’s military nuclear program until its disbanding in the early 2000s was killed in a targeted attack that saw gunmen use explosives and machine gun fire Friday, state television said.
Israel declined to immediately comment on the killing of Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, who Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu once called out in a news conference saying: “Remember that name.” Israel has long been suspected of carrying out a series of targeted killings of Iranian nuclear scientists nearly a decade ago.

He’s just getting a few band-aids applied at the local hospital.
Official Iranian Government sources said so.
This cowardice - with serious indications of Israeli role - shows desperate warmongering of perpetrators,” Zarif wrote.
—So what is Iran going to do about it? Declare war? Advocate the annihilation of Israel? Finance an endless stream of terror attacks on Jews, focused on women, children and the helpless? Last I checked, they never stopped doing those things.
I am sure this is all a misunderstanding, Iran announced nobody was killed earlier. This guy was obviously a nobody.

Ahhh, explains the repositioning of B-52 bombers and other assets - just in case Iran thought about retaliation against Israel or our remaining assets in Iraq and Syria.
