Khamenei orders punishment for scientist's death
Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei ordered on Saturday punishments for those responsible for the killing of Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, a prominent nuclear scientist. Fakhrizadeh died in an apparent attack near Tehran on Friday.
Khamenei said Fakhrizadeh was "martyred by criminal and cruel mercenaries," according to Irna. Earlier, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani again accused Israel of playing a part in the incident and promised Tehran will respond appropriately.
