The Iranianstweet about the murder by surprise and also highlight the ability of the group that killed the scientist.

Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif has accused Israel of having a role in Fakhrizadeh’s murder. Meanwhile, the Israeli government chose silence.
The Guardian reported Mohsen Fakhrizadeh as “avoiding the limelight”. However he became the center of attention when he was killed. The gunmen carrying out the attack not only fired at one vehicle, but detonated a second vehicle – possibly an Iranian security officer traveling with Fakhrizadeh.
Fakhrizadeh is not very introverted. He was well known enough that within hours the Iranian regime and foreign media had published reports on him. Like Qasem Soleimani, the commander of the IRGC Quds Force killed by the United States in Baghdad, Fakhrizadeh was not so much in the “shadows”, and when he came out of “the shadows,” it was just a shower of bullets hitting him.

Born in the city of Qom, which is known as a city of holy Shiite sites, he is a member of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). He is in a circle “closely watched” by the US and its allies.
He was born in 1958 and raised under the Shah’s regime. He became an adult during the Islamic revolution. According to Iranian media reports, he is a Brigadier General at the IRGC. This means that he is an ideologist, not just a scientist.
Another key element of Iran’s nuclear program has been targeted for years. In 2012 an Iranian nuclear scientist was also killed in Tehran. Earlier this year, in June and July, several mysterious explosions targeted Iran’s missile program near Khojir and at the nuclear site in Natanz. Iran has also been the target of a computer virus attack that has hampered its nuclear program in the past decade and a half.
The killing of Fakhrizadeh caused shock waves to those watching Iran. He is an academic and has been accused by Israel of working on Amad’s secret program to develop nuclear weapons and has been a target in the past. He has security details. He was addressed by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in a 2018 speech.
The Iranianstweet about the murder with shock and fury. They also highlight their abilities that killed the scientist. Besides tweet who blame the Mossad and Israel, there is another debate as to how that could have happened. One user stated that the attack was linked to a meeting a few days ago between Israel and Saudi Arabia. Others commented on the “message” to Iran sent about a week ago during a high-level meeting between the Saudis and Israel.
