Unic Press UK: Iran’s ambassador and permanent representative to the Vienna-based international organizations, Kazem Gharibabadi, said that the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has a responsibility to speak up over the continued assassination of Iranian scientists.
“The IAEA has an immediate and primary responsibility toward the member state (Iran) that has accepted the highest level of the Agency’s inspections, has the most transparent nuclear program as it implements various commitments, but its scientists are exposed to assassination threats or are targeted by terrorists, and its nuclear facilities are exposed to aggression or are targeted with sabotage,” said Gharibabadi.
Kazem Gharibabadi’s view follows the killing last week of Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, a physicist and brigadier general in Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. Fakhrizadeh was a key figure in the country’s military nuclear research.
