Iran Says It Executed Its Own Nuclear Scientist for ‘Espionage’
Breitbart ^ | August 07, 2025 | Frances Martel

Posted on 08/07/2025 9:47:08 AM PDT by Red Badger

Iranian state media confirmed the execution on Wednesday of Rouzbeh Vadi, identified as one of the nation’s top nuclear scientists, on charges of alleged espionage and cooperation with Israel’s Mossad intelligence agency.

Iranian news outlets announced his killing alongside the execution of Mehdi Asgharzadeh, identified as a supporter of the Islamic State jihadist terror organization. Vadi is the seventh known Iranian nuclear scientist to be killed the summer; six others were confirmed dead after the Israeli government launched “Operation Rising Lion” in June, a military engagement intended to eliminate Iran’s ability to generate fuel for a nuclear weapon.

According to a translation of broadcasts on Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB), the Islamic regime published videos of Vadi confessing that he sent the Israeli government critical information on two of Iran’s most important nuclear enrichment facilities, the sites at Fordow and Natanz. Those two, alongside the facility at Isfahan, were the targets of a series of airstrikes by the United States shortly after the beginning of “Operation Rising Lion” in June. President Donald Trump announced following the strikes that the U.S. military had “completely and totally obliterated” the sites.

“Key facilities were Fordow and Natanz (uranium enrichment plants), for which I sent information. I told them I knew this and that about Fordow, they (Mossad agent) told me to send everything,” Reuters translated Vadi’s statements as saying. “The entry and exit of nuclear material into the Uranium Conversion Facility (UCF) and Fuel Manufacturing Plant (FMP) were very important to them.”

So Iran now has an opening for a top nuclear scientist.

If I were an Iranian nuclear scientist, I don’t believe I’d be asking for an application.

True? or Mossad disinformation?

The result is the same and good for Israel.

Yes, I would execute ALL of them.
It’s the only way to be sure.

Typical paranoia of Totalitarian States. Especially revolutionary ones.

I have little doubt that they killed the nuclear scientist that Israel wanted them to kill.

They probably tortured him and supposedly agreed to not kill his family if he “confessed”.

I doubt anyone in such a position has any love for the Israelis. Scapegoat.

I hear from reliable sources that several other nuclear scientists are Israeli spies!

(Snicker….)

It is Iran. No one applies for jobs. One is assigned a job.

It’s like being promoted to the top of Al Queda.

Cunning, Mossad.

Quite cunning.
