A top Iranian security official says Israel used “electronic devices” to remotely kill a scientist who founded the country's military nuclear program in the 2000s. Israel has declined to comment on the killing of Mohsen Fakhrizadeh.

In this photo released by the official website of the Iranian Defense Ministry, military personnel carry the flag draped coffin of Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, a scientist who was killed on Friday, in a funeral ceremony in Tehran, Iran, Monday, Nov. 30, 2020. Iran held the funeral service for Fakhrizadeh, who founded its military nuclear program two decades ago, with the Islamic Republic's defense minister vowing to continue the man's work "with more speed and more power.

Israel, long suspected of killing Iranian nuclear scientists over the last decade, has declined to comment on the attack.Fakhrizadeh headed Iran’s so-called AMAD program, which Israel and the West have alleged was a military operation looking at the feasibility of building a nuclear weapon. The International Atomic Energy Agency says that “structured program” ended in 2003. U.S. intelligence agencies concurred with that assessment in a 2007 report.

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.“Unfortunately, the operation was a very complicated operation and was carried out by using electronic devices,” Shamkhani told state TV.

Defense Minister Gen. 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.”

Trump kept the peace. It will all unravel as Biden enters the WH, physically declines, and Harris takes over. God help our country

DCBasement I tells ya, they hired assassins from the Order of Teraka!

Laughable! Electronic devices to remotely kill? If that were possible I can think of a lot more high profile targets!

Dammit, now every time I see people carrying a coffin I can't help but think of the coffin dance...

without USA and Saudis that was not possible. as soon Biden got access to classified data and personel so Iranian scientist died in this horrific terr act

Sounds like some paranoid narrative were someone`s thoughts are being remotely controlled by electronic devices.

What is strange is that israel keeps killing people around the world, with the blessing of US, UK, Europe, etc. But when Russia 'allegedly' kills a Russian citizen, we hear uproar from these same countries. Can't be more hypocritical.

Mossad kills their men and the coward Iranian government blame it on Saudis

Mossad conced nothing.

It is predictable that Iran will follow Israel's lead and engage in targeted assassination. A hearty Mazel Tov to Israeli stupidity.

The delayed transition of power, especially in national security, hopefully does not put the USA in any danger.

Apparently the 'top Iranian security official' wasn't very good at security.

Game on with Israel, typical Mossad tactics.

Party's involved Read this a.s.a.p.

Guess it’s the war of scientists now.. If we check it it’s always been that way and now they targeting themselves or allowing themselves to be targeted. Guess what goes around comes around. All these weapons they create used to kill people are being used on them. May his soul RIP

Hello, please check out my gig if you need any kind of graphic design.

Israel is an international war criminal organization. At one time it may have been justified but not now. Now Israel is acting like the Wolf that bit it and every full moon Israel goes full were-Nazi

I fear for America.. the moment the Muslim ban is lifted by Biden... these Iranians and their proxies will bomb the hell outta homeland.. LMAO. U get what u voted for
