FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
Iranian officials confirmed that Roshan had worked as a deputy director at
Natanz, where uranium is being enriched in defiance of five United Nations
resolutions. This highly sensitive process could be used to make the
essential material for a nuclear weapon. Roshan was believed to be an expert
in gas separation, an essential technology for enrichment.
Iran’s Atomic Energy Organisation gave a defiant response to his death,
blaming America as well as Israel and promising to continue developing
peaceful nuclear technology.
“The heinous acts of American and the criminal Zionist regime will not
disrupt our glorious path,” said the statement. “The more you kill
us, the more our nation will become awakened.”
Mark Fitzpatrick, director of non-proliferation at the International Institute
for Strategic Studies, noted that Egypt’s attempt to acquire nuclear weapons
capability in the 1970s was successfully derailed by the assassination of
key figures.
This enforced loss of expertise, widely attributed to Israel, had been “crucial
in preventing Egypt from getting very far,” said Mr Fitzpatrick. “Iran’s
programme is further advanced, so I don’t know if a decapitation strategy
would work,” he added.
“But it’s possible that this, in conjunction with other strategies –
industrial sabotage and so-called ‘accidental’ explosions in sensitive
facilities – is having some effect in retarding the Iranian programme.”
An explosion at a military base last November killed General Hassan Tehrani
Moghaddam, head of Iran’s ballistic missile programme. Meanwhile, the most
effective covert action was probably the infection of the Natanz plant with
the Stuxnet computer virus. This caused hundreds of uranium-enriching
centrifuges to spin out of control and then blow up in 2010. Iran was
briefly forced to halt all enrichment while emergency repairs were carried
out.
Morale among Iran’s fraternity of nuclear scientists is believed to have
suffered accordingly. Many live under the tightest security, notably Mohsen
Fakrizadeh, a professor of physics and officer in the Revolutionary Guard
Corps who is believed to occupy one of the most senior positions.
The scientists are also the focus of intense security screening. The
centrifuges at Natanz were not connected to the internet, so the Stuxnet
virus must have been introduced by a human agent. Since then, Iran is
believed to have tightened up what were lax security procedures.
