As per semi-official Mehr news agency, in last week’s, a top Iranian Scientist named Mohsen Fakhrizadeh was shot with a remote-controlled gun while he was driving on a highway east of the capital.
As per an official, artificial intelligence was used when the weapon “zoomed in” on him.
On November 27th, on the outskirts of Tehran, Mohsen Fakhrizadeh was killed in a gun and car bomb attack.
Every source is mentioning a different story about the incident. As per early news reports, he was caught in a gunfight between his bodyguards.
According to others, someone on a pick-up truck, held a remote-controlled machine gun, fired at him and absconded from the country.
On Sunday, Fadavi said that the gun fired a total of 13 shots at Fakhrizadeh and targeted him correctly that his wife, sitting just inches away from him in the same vehicle, escaped injury.
At the same point of time, 11 other bodyguards in separate cars had accompanied the couple.
Since January, this incident is the second targeted killing of a high-ranking Iranian official after US President Donald Trump ordered a drone strike on General Qassem Soleimani.
Israel has been blamed for Fakhrizadeh’s killing. Since 2010, this is the fifth assassination of a nuclear scientist on Iranian soil.
On these allegations, Israel hasn’t commented anything until now. However, Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu had picked the scientist in a power-point presentation on Iran’s nuclear program in April 2018.
