Al-Arabiya TV reported, in urgent news, quoting sources: Dozens of citizens in Tehran were interrogated in the case of the assassination of Fakhrizadeh, and 50 salesmen of surveillance cameras were interrogated. Most of them have been released, but the fate of some is still unknown.
On the other hand, Tasnim News Agency quoted a senior commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards as saying that the assassination of the prominent nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh last month was carried out remotely using artificial intelligence and a machine gun equipped with “an intelligent system that is controlled by satellites.”
Iran blamed Israel for the assassination of Fakhri Zadeh, who was considered by Western intelligence services to be the mastermind of a secret Iranian program to develop nuclear armament capacity. Iran has long denied any such ambition.
Israel has neither confirmed nor denied responsibility for his killing, and one of its officials described Tasnim’s report on the tactics used as a face-saving maneuver by Iran.
But Israel has previously admitted to conducting covert operations against the nuclear program of its arch-foe Iran, to collect intelligence.
