Moscow (IP) - The Ambassador of the Islamic Republic of Iran to Russia appreciated Moscow's firm stance in condemning the assassination of Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, a prominent Iranian scientist.

Iran PressEurope: Referring to the opening of the Martyr Fakhrizadeh memorial book in Moscow, the Ambassador of the Islamic Republic of Iran to Russia, Kazem Jalali, noted: "Some Russian officials and personalities signed the memorial book of Martyr Fakhrizadeh on Wednesday and Thursday at the Iranian embassy, and due to the spread of the coronavirus, some people expressed their condolences to the government and people of Iran via e-mail."

Jalali also stressed in a tweet: "State terrorism with the aim of stopping the growth of peaceful nuclear science and technology in the field of national security of a country is a clear violation of human rights principles and rules of international law, to which the strategic response is the natural and non-negligible  right of the Islamic Republic."

Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, head of the Research and Innovation Organization of the Iranian Ministry of Defense and a leading scientist in the country's nuclear and defense industries, was martyred last Friday (November 27th) in a terrorist attack around Tehran.
