Iran Dismisses NYT’s Account of Mossad Assassination of Nuclear Scientist as Just ‘Newspaper Report’

Iranian nuclear scientist Dr. Mohsen Fakhrizadeh was killed about 175 km east of Tehran on 27 November 2020, with Tehran blaming Israel, acting in concert with a local terror group, for the murder. Israel has been accused of targeting over half-a-dozen Iranian nuclear scientists going back to 2007, but has refrained from commenting on the killings.
