Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani has accused Israel of killing a high-ranking Iranian nuclear physicist and said that Tehran would retaliate in its own time.
Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, who Israeli intelligence accuse of heading a secret nuclear weapons programme, was gunned down on Friday.
Analysts say the move will affect US President-elect Joe Biden’s widely expected plan to return to the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action or JCPOA nuclear deal.
