November 28, 2020 The Iranian president, Hassan Rohani - reports Ansa - has accused the arch enemy Israel of acting as a "mercenary" of the United States by assassinating in Tehran one of the leading scientists of Iran's nuclear program.
"Once again, the evil hands of global arrogance, with the usurper Zionist regime as a mercenary, are stained with the blood of a son of this nation," writes Rohani on his official website referring to the murder of Mohsen Fakhrizadeh.
Iran generally uses the term "global arrogance" to address the United States.
President Rohani said the scientist's death "did not interrupt" Iran's scientific progress and that the killing was due to the "weakness and inability" of Tehran's enemies to prevent its growth.
He then offered condolences to the "scientific community and the revolutionary people of Iran".
