Deadly Israeli Airstrike: Researcher and Family Members Perish Before Ceasefire
Israel allegedly slaughters 19 researchers' family in brutal attack, according to Iran's reports
Let's talk about the devastating events that transpired in Tehran, shall we? The Israeli military launched an attack on an Iranian nuclear scientist, claiming numerous innocent lives in the process. According to Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Ismail Baghai, this airstrike led to the tragic death of 19 individuals, including a family member of the scientist and children, women, and the elderly [1][3][4]. Despite the claims, Israel's army was mum about the incident.
Baghai took to the X platform to express the Iranian people's sentiment, stating that they will neither forget nor forgive such heinous acts [1]. The Iranian media corroborated the account, reporting that this morning bombing was orchestrated by Israel's air force before the ceasefire in the northern region [1]. They also published a family photograph of the victims.
Mohammad Reza Sedighi, the Iranian nuclear scientist in question, faced secondary sanctions from the United States based on suspicions that he was involved in a suspected weapons of mass destruction program [5]. The Israeli newspaper, "Haaretz," reported that Sedighi was working on projects related to rocket research [5].
It's worth noting that the Iranian Minister of Health revealed that at least 610 civilians were killed during the conflict with Israel, with several high-ranking military and scientific personnel among the casualties [6]. The number of injured reached over 4,700. Reciprocating attacks resulted in 28 Israeli fatalities, according to Israeli reports [5].
While the specifics about the additional family members' deaths remain unconfirmed, there's evidence that Sedighi's 17-year-old son was killed during an earlier Israeli strike on June 13 [1]. The recent strike, however, reportedly targeted only Sedighi, leaving doubt about the fate of other family members [1].
