A top Iranian security official has accused Israel of using 'electronic devices' to remotely kill a scientist who founded the Islamic Republic's military nuclear program in the 2000s. 9News

State TV's English-language Press TV earlier reported a weapon recovered from the scene of the attack bore "the logo and specifications of the Israeli military industry." State TV's Arabic-language channel, Al-Alam, claimed the weapons used were "controlled by satellite," a claim also made Sunday by the semiofficial Fars news agency.None of the outlets immediately offered evidence supporting their claims.

Shamkhani also blamed the Iranian exile group Mujahedeen-e-Khalq as well for "having a role in this," without elaborating. The MEK did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Defence Minister General Amir Hatami gave a speech after kissing Fakhrizadeh's casket and putting his forehead against it. He said Fakhrizadeh's killing would make Iranians "more united, more determined."

Iran sentences British-Iranian aid worker to another year in prisonNazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, a project manager with the Thomson Reuters Foundation charity, was arrested at a Tehran airport in April 2016 and later convicted of plotting to overthrow the clerical establishment. 'to a one-year jail term and she is banned from leaving the country for a year'. Yep, that makes sense. 🙄 It is absolutely unfair, and inhumane decision. Probably, it is linked to the Nuclear Deal, which Iran, and European countries want to revive.
