Iran will give a “calculated and decisive” response to the killing of its top nuclear scientist. Recently, Iran's scientist was murdered for which Israel is blamed. The top adviser to Iran’s supreme leader, while a hardline newspaper suggested Tehran’s revenge should include striking the Israeli city of Haifa.
Kamal Kharrazi, head of Iran’s Strategic Council on Foreign Relations, said in a statement that, “Undoubtedly, Iran will give a calculated and decisive answer to the criminals who took Martyr Mohsen Fakhrizadeh from the Iranian nation." Fakhrizadeh, long suspected by Western and Israeli government of masterminding a secret nuclear weapons program, was gunned down on a highway near Tehran on Friday. Iran’s clerical and military rulers now allege to the Islamic Republic’s longtime enemy, Israel, for the killing. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office straight down declined to comment on the killing. Iranian hardline media called on Sunday for tough revenge.
The Kayhan daily editor-in-chief has been appointed by Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who called for an attack on the Israeli port city of Haifa if an Israeli role in Fakhrizadeh’s killing is proven. However, Iran’s rulers are aware of the daunting military and political difficulties of attacking Israel.
