Iranian security forces have identified some of those involved in last month’s assassination of the nation’s top nuclear scientist, and a number of the suspects have already been arrested, a state-run media outlet has reported.
The people behind the killing of nuclear physicist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh “have been identified for the Islamic Republic of Iran, and they will definitely receive a decisive response,” Hossein Amir Abdullahian, special aide on international affairs to the speaker of Iran’s Parliament, said in an interview published by state-run Iranian Students’ News Agency (ISNA). He didn’t identify the suspects or say how many have been arrested, adding that most details will be withheld until the investigation is completed.
