The criminal Israeli state has been caught out in its murderous activities once again with the news that Iran has arrested a number of Mossad-hired and trained agents for the wave of assassinations against Iranian scientists.
Iranian security forces announced the arrest of a ring of assassins which it says were responsible for the recent killings of nuclear scientists, Iranian media reported.
Police linked the suspects to Israel, revealing that they has confessed to being “hired by an Israeli spy network,” according to state news agency IRNA.
Tehran has in the past accused Israel of being behind the killings of several of its nuclear scientists. In January, the Islamic state blamed Israel when a nuclear scientist was killed by a bomb placed on his car by a motorcyclist in Tehran.
The announcement marks the second wave of Iranian arrests of alleged assassins in recent months. In April, Iran announced that it had arrested several members of a “major terrorist group” over the killing of nuclear scientists.
The Iranian Intelligence Ministry announced that the suspects were responsible for the killing of Majid Shahriari, Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan and Reza Qashqaei – all scientists working on Tehran’s peaceful nuclear program.
Iran alleged that western spy agencies responsible for carrying out the nuclear assassinations collaborated with People’s Mujahedin of Iran (MEK,) an exiled Iranian organization dedicated to overthrowing the ruling regime.
Iranian Intelligence Minister Heidar Moslehi said that the country’s security forces have arrested at least 20 terrorists behind the assassination of Iranian nuclear scientists.
Security forces arrested assassins of nuclear scientists Majid Shahriari, Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan and policeman Reza Qashqaei, the ministry said in a statement.
In the fifth attack of its kind in two years, terrorists killed a 32-year-old Iranian scientist, Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan, and his driver on January 11.
The blast took place on the second anniversary of the death of Iranian university professor and nuclear scientist, Massoud Ali Mohammadi, who was also assassinated in a terrorist bomb attack in Tehran in January 2010.
In May this year, Iran executed a man convicted of spying for Israel and of assassinating Massoud Ali Mohammadi.
The assassination method used in the bombing was similar to the 2010 terrorist bomb attacks against the then university professor, Fereidoun Abbassi Davani – who is now the head of Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization – and his colleague Majid Shahriari. While Abbasi Davani survived the attack, Shahriari was killed.
Another Iranian scientist, Dariush Rezaeinejad, was also assassinated through the same method on 23 July 2011.
In April, more than 15 Iranian and foreign nationals reportedly were arrested for carrying out alleged terrorist missions for Israel in Iran, according to IRNA. The group was accused of spying for Israel, the attempted assassination of an Iranian expert and sabotage.
