World News --- On Saturday, a senior Iranian security official
reported that the Country’s Elite Revolutionary Guards Corps saved one of its nuclear
scientist from a Mossad assassination attempt.
Col. Ya’qoub Baqeri, the deputy chief liaison officer
of the Flight Guards Corps, told the Iranian Fars News Agency that “In the last
two years, the Zionist enemy was trying hard to assassinate an Iranian nuclear
scientist, but the timely presence of the IRGC security forces thwarted the
terrorist operation,” adding they are “duty-bound to protect the lives of the
country’s nuclear scientists”.
Israel has never admitted that it’s behind the
killings of Iranian Nuclear Scientists, a campaign that has been going on for
years. While the U.S remains a key ally of the Zionist state, the two have
openly differed on a number of issues, one of them is the assassination
campaigns. A report published on CBS News last year, showed that the U.S is not
happy with Israel’s assassination campaign against Iranian Nuclear Scientists
and was pushing it to stop.
The Mossad, Israel’s renowned spy agency, is said to
conduct the assassinations in an attempt to stop Iran or slow down the
development of Nuclear Weapons in Iran. At least five nuclear scientists have been
assassinated in Iran, mostly with car bombs.
According to the CBS report, the Mossad had admitted
that the assassination campaign had become too dangerous for its spies. This
comes as the U.S tries to reach a nuclear deal with the Iranian government.
