Zarif added, "There are clues of Israeli involvement, which shows the desperate aggression of the terrorists."

Iranian media had announced the assassination of the Iranian nuclear scientist, Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, who worked as head of the Research and Innovation Authority at the Iranian Ministry of Defense.

According to Iranian agencies, Netanyahu noted the danger of this scientist and published his image during a presentation in which he talked about the escalation of Iran's nuclear capability in recently.

It's noteworthy that Netanyahu's speech about the scientist coincided with America's announcement of its withdrawal from the nuclear agreement with Iran.
