Hizbullah Condemns Terrorist Assassination of Iranian Nuclear Scientist

Commenting on the assassination of Iranian nuclear scientist Mustafa Ahmadi Roshan in Tehran, Hizbullah issued the following statement:

Once again, Zionist terrorism hits targeting Iran's elite minds working in the field of nuclear energy in an attempt to obstruct scientific progress achieved by the Islamic Republic in this area.

The assassination of the martyr scientist Mustafa Ahmadi Roshan in the Iranian capital Tehran is a terrorist crime in all senses.

The crime targets a great scientific power which contributed in Iran's progress, development, and is part of a project to strengthen the scientific independence of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

As the assassination comes in light of Western media attack, it aimed at tarnishing the image of the Iranian nuclear program by accusing the program of being materialistic.

This comes despite all evidences provided by Iran on the peaceful type of its nuclear program as well as its purely scientific and civilian industrial aspects.

Hizbullah condemns this terrorist crime and voices confidence that it will not impede the continuous development and progress of the Islamic Republic in the field of nuclear science.

Hizbullah also expresses its deepest condolences and congratulations to the martyr's family, wishing a speedy recovery for the two wounded who were injured in the blast.
