The assassination of Iranian nuclear scientists




In recent years, several Iranian academics have been assassinated in attacks attributed to Israeli and Western intelligence agencies. While there are speculations that these men were all involved in the Iranian nuclear energy program, an examination of their backgrounds suggests otherwise. Three of the victims were university professors, while one had merely organizational links with the Iranian nuclear energy program. The aim of these assassinations, which had no effect on the Iranian nuclear energy program, thus appears dubious. Below are brief biographies of the assassinated scientists and summaries of the circumstances of their killings.
