Despite the Blow to Morale, Iran Will Find a Nuclear Scientist Just as Talented as the Assassinated Fakhrizadeh

Fakhrizadeh was a physics professor at Imam Hossein University in Tehran but also held key positions in the Islamic Republic’s military nuclear program, which has been operating secretly for over 20 years behind the facade of the civilian uranium enrichment program.
