LONDON: Israel has been accused of poisoning two Iranian scientists involved with the regime’s missile programs amid a rise in assassinations in the country. Ayoub Entezari, 35, a Yazd-based engineer at a missile and drone center, died of suspected poisoning after returning from a party on May 31. Soon after, Kamran Aghamolaei, 31, died on June 2 of multiple organ failure
An officer from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRCG) and a member of the Iranian Defense Ministry were pronounced dead after separate events in the line of duty. Sources outside Iran claim that the men were developing weapons for Hezbollah.
Iran has expressed its belief that Israel poisoned two scientists who fell ill and died under mysterious circumstances earlier this month, amid a spike in Iranian scientists being killed or dying over.
