Assassination of Iranian nuclear scientists

In the official Iranian account, several of the country's nuclear scientists — including Masoud Alimohammadi, Majid Shahriari, Dariush Rezaeinejad and Mohsen Fakhrizadeh — were assassinated between 2010 and 2020. Iranian sources treat these as efforts to sabotage the country's scientific program and attribute them to foreign services, particularly Israel.
