November 30, 2020.- “The countries of the world should thank Tel Aviv for the murder of Iranian scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh,” declared an Israeli intelligence official.
As he told The New York Times, Israel will take the necessary additional measures against the Iranian nuclear program .
In his remarks, the official also quoted former CIA agent Bruce Riedel, who noted that Israel has used its close ties with Iran’s neighbors, such as Azerbaijan, for the purpose of monitoring and recruiting agents.
According to information published last Friday by that newspaper, three intelligence officials had confirmed that Israel was behind the murder of the Fakhrizadeh.
