US Government Officials Say Israel Was Involved In The Assassination Of Iran's Leading Nuclear Physicist

According to CNN local time on the 2nd, a senior U.S. government official said that Israel was behind the assassination of Iran's senior nuclear physicist fakrizad. Fakrizad has been a target of Israel for a long time, the official said. In the past, Israel would share target and operation information with the United States before carrying out secret operations, but the official declined to disclose whether the U.S. government knew before the incident. Fakrizad was killed in an attack near the Iranian capital Teheran on the 27th of last month. Iranian officials accused Israel of participating in the assassination. The Israeli Prime Minister's office has said it will not respond to Iran's accusations.
