Israeli secret agents spent months bringing high-tech machine gun smuggling into Iran in tiny pieces to kill the regime’s top nuclear scientist, it was announced last night.
The remote-controlled army fired 13 high-altitude rounds into Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, 62, known as the ‘father’ of Iran’s illegal atomic program, as he was evacuated from the capital Tehran to his country’s residence last year.
The gun was so accurate that the scientist’s wife, who was sitting just an inch away, appeared completely unaware of the attack.
A bomb then exploded to the remote control, destroying the weapons as the team of 20 spies melted away.

Fakhrizadeh was killed while traveling from Tehran to his hometown near Absard when a remote control gun opened fire, followed by suicide
He was executed on Nov. 27 after an eight-month investigative operation by Mossad, Israel’s national intelligence agency.
Israeli spies first arrived in Iran in March 2020 where they contacted the locals and began preparing for the hit.
The team took a minute – by – minute photo of Fakhrizadeh ‘s practices to identify chances for his killing.
A source close to the work told the Jewish Chronicle: ‘For eight months they breathed with the boy, woke up with him, slept with him, walked with him.
‘He would have melted his aftershave every morning, if he had used an aftershave.’
It wasn’t long before the team identified a window of opportunity – during Friday’s Fakhrizadeh trip from Tehran to his weekend job, a town near the city of Absard.
But instead of attacking the convoy with an armed crew – threatening a fire that could cause additional casualties – the spies recommended the use of a remote-controlled gun. place.
The weapon, they argued, was OK to ensure that only Fakhrizadeh could be killed without damaging any other member of his convoy.
Mossad sources said 13 bullets fired at the Fakhrizadeh convoy hit ‘head on’, killing him without injuring anyone else
The one-ton gun, containing the explosives used to destroy it, was then smashed into Iran in small pieces before being rebuilt and placed in a pickup truck. Nissan.
Once the gun was fired, gents were parked on the road unusually in front of places where they could look for the Fakhrizadeh approach and open fire.
After the convoy passed a pre-selected point, the gun was activated and fired 13 bullets hit Fakhrizadeh face-to-face, killing him instantly.
The bomb then exploded, destroying the gun before the team fled.
Contrary to claims from Iran that a defender was injured diving across Fakhrizadeh, sources said no one else in the convoy was arrested.
The military was also not run by satellite, as Iran had originally stated.
‘They didn’t catch anyone. They weren’t even coming close, ‘said one of those familiar with the work.
‘Their security was not bad at all, but the Mossad was much better.’
Jacob Nagel, one of Israel’s top defense officials, revealed that Mossad had decided to target Fakhrizadeh after discovering a secret collection of documents that identified him as the head of the country’s nuclear weapons program.
He said: ‘Mossad had documents confirming that Fakhrizadeh had worked on a number of nuclear warheads, each capable of causing five Hiroshimas. It was heavy.

Israel declined to comment in November and on Wednesday night the Israeli government responded to the latest report by saying: ‘We will never comment on such matters. Our situation has not changed. ‘
Fakhrizadeh, 59, was suspected by the West of threatening a secret nuclear bomb program.
He had been described by Western and Israeli intelligence services for years as the secret director of a secret atomic bomb program that stopped in 2003, which Israel and the United States accuse Tehran of for attempting to retake . Iran has denied trying to arm its nuclear weapons.
According to the Jewish Chronicle report, Iran has ‘secretly estimated that it will take six years for another to become a’ fully functional ‘person and that his death has’ extended the time it would take for Iran to deliver a bomb from about three and a half months to two years. ‘
Others believe the timeframe will be closer to five years, saying Mossad himself was surprised by the impact of Fakhrizadeh’s death.
Mossad sources also denied that America had been involved in tracking down the scientist or launching the work.
Representatives said the U.S. had been notified that the hit was about to happen shortly beforehand, but otherwise was not involved.
It was an entirely Israeli activity, door to door. It was not political, it was a security issue. He had nothing to do with Trump or the election, ‘the source said.
