Statement of the Party of Labour of Iran (Toufan)
On the Assassination of Mohsen
Fakhrizadeh, a Prominent Iranian Nuclear Scientist
Mohsen Fakhrizadeh was
murdered on Friday night in Damavand. Three or four others were also killed in
clashes and it is said that they were terrorists.
Between 2009 and 2011, four Iranian engineers
linked to the Tehran nuclear program were assassinated. In that period, Massoud Ali Mohammadi, Majid Shahriari and Dariush Rezainejad were killed
and Fereydoun Abbasi Davani was injured. In that period, an article was
published in the New York Times about this, and Israeli high ranking officials
welcomed the assassination of Iranian scientists and stated that they were
making every effort to prevent the development of Iran's nuclear technology.
Two years ago, Israeli Zionist Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that Mohsen Fakhrizadeh was Iran's
chief architects of nuclear program and said at a press conference that
"his name should be remembered"!
On his Twitter page,
Donald Trump published an Israeli journalist's tweet that reads:
"According to reports in Iran, Mohsen Fakhrizadeh was assassinated in Damavand, east of Tehran. He was the head of Iran's secret military program and had been
wanted by Mossad for several years. "His death is a major psychological and
professional blow to Iran.“
This targeted terrorist act is continuation of
the killing of the Iranian nuclear researchers and is intended to increase
tensions in the region. This is an attempt by Israel to prevent Biden's team to return to a diplomatic process and negotiate with
Iran in regard to the nuclear agreement, 5 + 1, JCPOA. The spread of news on Netanyahu's
secret meeting with Ben Salman and the latest news about a possible U.S. attack
on Iran before Trump's departure from the White House, all are signs of
provocations and psychological warfare against Iran and are related to the
assassination of Mohsen Fakhrizadeh.
The purpose of this adventurous and terrorist
operation is to provoke Iran for a military response and confrontation with the
United States of America. As we have repeatedly emphasized, Israel does not
want peace in the region, its survival is tied to creating division, and waging
wars of aggression in the region. This is in the nature of the Israeli Zionism,
a regional occupying power.
1) The Party of Labour
of Iran (Toufan) strongly condemns this terrorist act
and considers it a form of war of attrition against the Iranian people.
2) The Party of Labour
of Iran (Toufan) condemns the assassination of Mohsen Fakhrizadeh. We strongly
condemn the economic sanctions against Iran. These reactionary actions are in
conflict with peace, stability and security, in Iran and the region. These
actions are against the interest of the masses of the Middle East.
3) These
terrorist and provocative acts limit and overshadow the general political
climate in Iran and adversely affect the struggle of the Iranian people for
political, civil, and democratic rights. Such a political climate of fear and
panic benefits only the reactionary and anti-popular forces in Iran.
