Iran's state television reported today that the scientist Mohsen Fahrizadeh, whom Israel accused in early 2000 of leading Iran's nuclear military program, was killed.
The news about the scientist's murder was confirmed by the Iranian Ministry of Defense. Fahrizadeh was the leader of the research and innovation department in that department.
Fahrizadeh hosted a program called "Amad" or "Nada".
Israel and the West claim that it was a military operation aimed at building nuclear weapons in Iran.
The International Nuclear Energy Agency stated that the "Amad" program ended after 2000.
IAEA inspectors now monitor Iran's nuclear facilities.
