Iran said that Israel and an exiled opposition group used new and"complex" methods to assassinate its leading nuclear scientist, as it buried him on Monday in a funeral befitting a top"martyr".
The People's Mujahedeen of Iran were"certainly" involved, along with"the Zionist regime and the Mossad", he said in video interviews, referring to the Israeli government and its spy agency. "But today, he who was only an idol for... his students and colleagues, is introduced to the whole world," he added.
Iran's President Rouhani has accused Israel of acting as a US"mercenary", blaming it for the killing of Mr Fakhrizadeh, and supreme leader Khamenei has called for the perpetrators to be punished.
