“The assassination of martyr Fakhrizadeh shows our enemies’ despair and the depth of their hatred. His martyrdom will not slow down our achievements,” he added. Earlier on Friday, Iran's foreign minister Mohammad Javed Zarif had suspected Israel's involvement in the killing of Fakhrizadeh. "Terrorists murdered an eminent Iranian scientist today.

Mohsen Fakhrizadeh was assassinated on Friday. He was targeted while travelling near Absard city in Tehran province's eastern Damavand county in Iran. Fakhrizadeh was the leading nuclear scientist in the country. The United States had put sanctions on Fakhrizadeh in 2008 for activities and transactions that contributed to the development of Iran's nuclear programme. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu once described him as the father of Iran's nuclear weapons programme.
