It is not the first time that an Iranian scientist associated with a weapons program has been killed in an attack or armed incident.
Iranian installations responsible for enriching uranium, or the factory where the centrifuges are built, have also previously been the target of far-reaching sabotage actions.
The US or Israeli intelligence services are believed to be behind these operations. Regardless, this operation makes the climate more difficult for diplomatic talks between Iran and Europe or the new administration of newly elected President Joe Biden in the US.
