Iran has revealed a possible way of revenge for the murder of nuclear physicist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh. Iranian political scientist Ali Akbar Raafipur told about this to the correspondent of Lenta.ru Hayal Muazzin .
“State terrorism in order to stop the development of nuclear science and technology is a clear violation of international law, the strategic response to which is the natural and inalienable right of the Islamic Republic of Iran,” the expert said. He suggested that the United States and Israel were behind the murder.
According to Ali Akbar Raefipur, Tehran’s likely response to what happened will be to withdraw from the nuclear agreement with the United States – the Joint Comprehensive Action Plan (JCPOA). The political scientist also suggested that Israel and the United States organized the assassination of Fakhrizade, as they wanted to interfere with Iran’s plans to develop its nuclear potential.
November 27 it became known that Fakhrizade became a victim of terrorists. At the scene of the attack, a suicide bomber was first blown up, and then the car, where the scientist and his guards were, was fired upon. The deputy head military department died in hospital from severe injuries.
President of Iran Hassan Rouhani blamed Israel for the incident. US intelligence officers linked the assassination of a nuclear physicist with the plans of a US presidential candidate Joe Biden to restore relations with Tehran and sign a new agreement on the nuclear program. p >
In 2018, the United States unilaterally withdrew from the JCPOA, which concerned Iran’s nuclear program, and imposed sanctions against Tehran. Trump called on the guarantor countries of the nuclear deal with Iran to abandon the further support of the current agreement.
