Iran’s Rouhani accuses ‘mercenary’ Israel of scientist assassination:
statement
TEHRAN, Nov 28, 2020 (BSS/AFP) – Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani on
Saturday accused arch-foe Israel of acting as a “mercenary” for the US in
carrying out the assassination of Tehran’s top nuclear scientist the day
before.
“Once again, the wicked hands of the global arrogance, with the usurper
Zionist regime as the mercenary, were stained with the blood of a son of this
nation,” Rouhani said in a statement on his official website, referring to
the killing of Mohsen Fakhrizadeh.
Iran generally uses the term “global arrogance” to refer to the United
States.
