“The path chosen by the Iranian nation to defend our country’s legitimate rights will certainly be irreversible in line with adherence to the guidelines of Leader of the Islamic Revolution [Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei] and the continuation of the path of our revered martyrs,” Salehi said in a message to Intelligence Minister Heidar Moslehi.
Salehi praised the Intelligence Ministry’s “decisive” move in identifying and arresting the main elements behind the assassination of Iranian nuclear scientists, and congratulated Moslehi over the “great achievement” which has been made through a “series of elaborate intelligence operations.”
On June 14, Iran's Intelligence Ministry announced the capture of the main elements behind the assassination of the country's nuclear scientists.
“The key perpetrators of the assassinations of Majid Shahriari, Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan (two of the slain nuclear scientists) and Reza Qashqaei (a driver of one of the nuclear scientists) were identified and, in a series of rapid and powerful operations, were arrested and transferred to detention facilities,” said the ministry in a statement.
Iranian nuclear scientist Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan was assassinated in January 2012 after an unknown motorcyclist attached a magnet bomb to his car in Tehran.
On November 29, 2010, Professor Majid Shahriari and Dr. Fereydoun Abbasi were targeted by terrorist attacks; Shahriari was killed immediately and Dr. Abbasi, the current head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, sustained injuries.
