'Mossad Agent' Sentenced to Death: Who's Targeting Iran's Nuclear Scientists?

The killings of Iranian nuclear scientists have prompted political analysts to assume during an interview with Sputnik that Israel could have been behind the sabotage of Tehran's atomic program. An Israeli academic argues that one cannot blame Tel Aviv for the assassinations. Meanwhile, an alleged Mossad agent has been sentenced to death in Iran.

"The only way to paralyze Iran or another country in any particular technological area is to destroy the country's science and liquidate its scientists," Emad Abshenas, an Iranian political analyst and editor-in-chief of the Iran Press newspaper, told Sputnik Persian, commenting on Iran's sentencing to death of a so-called "Mossad agent" who was supposedly behind the killings of several top nuclear physicists.

According to Abshenas, Iran is waging an information war with some countries, including Israel, while the Iranian special services "exercise strict control over those who are spying for Israel." The analyst underscored that "there are many people in Iran working for Israel and engaged in terrorist activities to undermine the national security of the country."
