Iran's top scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, who allegedly led Tehran's military nuclear programme until its disbanding in early 2000s, has been 'assassinated'

Prominent Iranian nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh has beenin an attack outside the capital Tehran, the semi-official Fars news agency reported.

Fars news agency, believed to be close to the country's Revolutionary Guards, said the attack happened in Absard, a small city just east of the capital, Tehran. Tasnim news agency said the "terrorists bombed a car before shooting at Mr Fakhrizadeh's car" in eastern Damavand county. No group immediately claimed responsibility for the attack. However, Iranian media all noted the interest that Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu had previously shown in Fakhrizadeh.

Hossein Dehghan, an adviser to Iran's supreme leader and a presidential candidate in Iran's 2021 election, issued a warning on Twitter. He has the rare distinction of being the only Iranian scientist named in the International Atomic Energy Agency's 2015 "final assessment" of open questions about Iran's nuclear programme and whether it was aimed at developing a nuclear bomb.
