In the early hours of Friday, at least nine prominent Iranian nuclear scientists were tragically killed in a brutal terrorist attack orchestrated by the zionist colony on their homes, which also resulted in the deaths of numerous civilians.

Among the victims were Mohammad Mehdi Tehranchi and Fereydoun Abbasi, who media outlets described as significant figures in the advancement of Iran’s nuclear program.

Tehranchi, a theoretical physicist, was the president of Iran’s Islamic Azad University of Iran and also served as Vice President for Research and Technology at Shahid Beheshti University for over a decade.

Abbasi, a former head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran and ex-member of the Iranian parliament, held a PhD in nuclear physics and conducted research for the defense ministry.

He narrowly escaped an Israeli assassination attempt in Tehran in 2010, in which his colleague, nuclear scientist Majid Shahriari, was killed.

Other notable scientists who perished in the tragic Israeli assaults were Abdolhamid Minouchehr, Ahmad Reza Zolfaghari, Amir Hossein Faghihi, Motallebzadeh, Ali Karimi, Mansour Asgari, and Saeed Borji.
