Iranian FM says nuclear scientist's killing was 'designed & planned by a terrorist regime'

Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif calls the killing of top nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh a “terror attack,” a day after saying Israel appeared to be behind it.

“Terror attack on our scientist was indubitably designed & planned by a terrorist regime & executed by criminal accomplices. Shameful that some refuse to stand against terrorism and hide behind calls for restraint,” he tweets.

Terror attack on our scientist was indubitably designed & planned by a terrorist regime & executed by criminal accomplices.
Shameful that some refuse to stand against terrorism and hide behind calls for restraint.
Impunity emboldens a terrorist regime with aggression in its DNA.
