According to Tasnim News Agency, Mostafa Sadati-Armaki, a top Iranian nuclear scientist, his wife, and their three children, have died in recent Israeli strikes on Tehran.
Sayyed Mostafa Sadati-Armaki, a leading Iranian nuclear scientist, and his family were reportedly killed in the latest Israeli attacks on Tehran, as reported by Tasnim News Agency on Monday.
The Iranian state media outlet described Sadati-Armaki as part of the “scientific elite.” He, along with his wife, three children, and in-laws, were killed in the recent Israeli strikes on the Iranian capital.
Tasnim alleges that the deaths occurred because the Israeli military was deliberately targeting residential areas and civilians with “nothing to do with military matters.”
The killing of Sadati-Armaki follows a reported Israeli campaign targeting Iranian scientists since the beginning of attacks on the country earlier this month. The Israeli Defense Force has allegedly killed over a dozen nuclear specialists in Iran so far.
On Tuesday morning, Nour News reported the death of another nuclear scientist, Mohammad Reza Sadighi, allegedly killed in an Israeli attack prior to a ceasefire agreement between Tehran and West Jerusalem. The agency stated that Sadighi was a leading expert in his field.
Israel’s Channel 9 news outlet reports that Sadighi is the 17th Iranian nuclear scientist allegedly killed by the IDF.
Israel launched attacks on Iran on June 13, claiming that Tehran was close to developing a nuclear bomb, despite the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and US intelligence stating that there was no evidence of a weapons program in Iran.
Tehran denied Israel’s accusations and retaliated to the strikes.
On June 22, the US entered the conflict, deploying B-2 bombers and Tomahawk missiles to strike three Iranian nuclear sites. Tehran responded by attacking a US military base in Qatar.
On Tuesday, US President Donald Trump announced a ceasefire agreement between Iran and Israel. Iran’s Supreme National Security Council has confirmed the truce but warned of readiness to respond to any “violating act by the enemy.”
