His martyrdom will not slow down our achievements”, Rouhani vowed.

Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei called Fakhrizadeh, Iran’s prominent and distinguished nuclear and defensive scientist.

Khamenei hinted that was the “definitive punishment of the perpetrators and those who ordered it”.

Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said there were “serious indications of an Israeli role” in the hit.

The U.S. sanctioned the deceased in 2008 for activities and transactions that contributed to Iran’s nuclear programme.
