Iran, nuclear scientist assassination

Iran accuses Israel of killing its nuclear scientist, vows revenge

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, whom radicals called last night for war with the United States, has accused Israel and Washington of being behind the assassination in an attack of the main scientist of the Iranian nuclear program, Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, who was assassinated after several armed men detonated a bomb and machine-gunned his vehicle outside Tehran. Iran claims that his death will not stop its nuclear program, and has vowed revenge against those behind the attack.
