Iran claims scientist was assassinated via satellite

 

 

Officials from Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) have divulged new information regarding the Nov. 27 assassination of nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh.

 

Deputy commander Ali Fadavi said during a Q&A session at Tehran University on Dec. 6 that Fakhrizadeh had 11 guards with him at the time of his assassination.

 

He was assassinated in the suburbs of Tehran. Fadavi added that 13 bullets were fired at him from the Nissan and that the only other bullets fired were from the Iranian bodyguards.

 

Fadavi also claimed that Nissan was controlled through satellite and used artificial intelligence to zoom in on the target. He said that Fakhrizadeh was shot in the back, hitting his spinal cord.

Fadavi’s statements conflict with earlier reports from Iranian media, which described multiple shooters and a shootout. These reports also suggested an explosion took place.

Ali Shamkhani, secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, was one of the first individuals to briefly discuss the use of the satellite-controlled attack. Fadavi also answered questions about former Quds Force commander Qasem Soleimani who was assassinated by the United States in a drone attack in Iraq. When asked if the Rouhani administration had impeded efforts to exact revenge on the United States, Fadavi said that the IRGC answers to the commander in chief, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and does not rely on the policies of the administration. Ramazan Sharif, the spokesman for the IRGC media team, also said that Fakhrizadeh was killed with the use of “advanced electronic tools guided by satellite.” He added that the Israelis know “that their actions will not go unanswered.” Iranian media has also responded to rumors published about Ayatollah Khamenei in American media.
