Iran believes that Israel and an exiled opposition group used a remote controlled weapon to kill its top nuclear scientist Mohsin Fakhrizadeh on 27 November 2020.

During Fakhrizadeh's funeral in Tehran, Iran's security chief Ali Shamkhani said the attackers used electronic equipment and were not present at the scene of the incident.

However, he did not give further information about it. The Iranian Defense Ministry initially said that Fakhrizadeh's car was targeted by some gunmen and he was shot at the same time.

Israel has not yet commented on these Iranian claims. Fakhrizadeh played a key role in Iran's nuclear program in the early 2000s.

The most important thing is that recently Israel had told Fakhrizadeh that he is engaged in developing Iran's secret nuclear weapon.

Iran has always been saying that its nuclear program is not for developing weapons. Fakhrizadeh's funeral was held on the campus of Iran's Ministry of Defense in Tehran. Some remains of funerals were handed over to a cemetery in northern Tehran.

Iran's official TV showed that soldiers and senior officers were moving the Fakhrizadeh's coffin wrapped in the Iranian national flag. These included intelligence minister Mahmood Alawi, Revolutionary Corps Commander General Hussein Salami and Atomic Program Head Ali Akbar Salehi offering prayers in Fakhrizadeh's tribute.

Iran's Supreme National Security Council Secretary Admiral Shamkhani said at Fakhrizadeh's funeral program that Iranian intelligence and security services had foreseen the plot of Fakhrizadeh's assassination.

Shamkhani said, "Necessary measures were taken to protect them, but the enemies used a whole new way. This murder has been carried out in a professional and special manner. Unfortunately our enemies were successful in this. It was a very complex mission because it uses electronic equipment. No one was present at the scene of the incident.

Admiral Shamkhani said that some clues have been found of the perpetrators of this murder. He said, "It has definitely been involved with the Jewish regime and the Mossad-led Iranian opposition group Mujahideen-e-Khalq (MKO)."

Mossad is the intelligence agency of Israel and has been used for Jewish rule of Israel. The MKO is an outcast opposition faction of Iran that opposes the structure of the current government in the country. The statement came from Iran when the Fars news agency reported the use of remote-controlled machine guns in the killing of Fakhrizadeh.

According to Arabic-language Al-Alam TV report, such a weapon is used through satellite control. On 27 November 2020, when the Iranian nuclear scientist was killed, the Defense Ministry said that in East Tehran, armed militants attacked Fakhrizadeh's car.

The ministry had said that Fakhrizadeh was shot in the crossfire between his security guards and the attackers and died during this time. Photos posted on social media show debris and blood strewn with a car riddled with bullets.

At Fakhrizadeh's funeral on 30 November 2020, Iran's Defense Minister General Aamir Hatami reiterated the resolution that the assassination would be avenged.

Aamir said, "The enemies know and as a soldier I am telling them that the people of Iran will answer everyone."

The Iranian Defense Minister said that Fakhrizadeh was doing important work in the Organization of Defense Innovation and Research. Iran is working here for nuclear security.

In Persian this organization is called SPND. The Iranian Defense Minister said that SPND's budget will be doubled so that the path of 'martyr doctor' can be achieved more quickly.

Iran's media emphasizes two things. The first is to avenge the assassination of the Iranian scientist, and the second is that Iran should not be deceived by Israel because it wants to increase tensions and ruin Iran's nuclear program.
