News Desk, AMN – Al-Masdar News | المصدر نيوز - 7 hours ago
[image: Assassination of nuclear scientist won’t stop Iran from ‘going nuclear’: EU official] The recent assassination of Iranian physicist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh is a criminal act and will not stop Tehran from “going nuclear,” EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell said on Tuesday. Last week, Fakhrizadeh, the head of the Iranian Defense Ministry’s innovation center, was killed in an attack near the northern Iranian town of Absard. Tehran said there were signs of Israel’s involvement in the assassination. “This [killing of Fakhrizadeh] was a crimi...
( Is there not a far better case to be made that the nations which have and are developing weapons of mass murder will not miss a chance to drive those which honestly strive to eliminate nuclear arms to do so also - as there is no recognition of their position in this dishonest world . North Korea would be an excellent example of how this works.)
