Majid Shahriari ( Persian : ???? ??????? , c. 1966 ? 29 November 2010) [1] was a top Iranian nuclear scientist and physicist who worked with the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran .

Career [ edit ]

He specialized in neutron transport , a phenomenon that lies at the heart of nuclear chain reactions in reactors and bombs . According to The Guardian , he "had no known links to banned nuclear work". [2] According to Al Jazeera he "was a quantum physicist and was not a political figure at all" and he "was not involved in Iran's nuclear programme". [3]

He was also one of the two Iranian scientists of the International Centre for Synchrotron-Light for Experimental Science Applications in the Middle East , beside Masoud Alimohammadi , another assassinated scientist. [4] [5]

According to Time magazine , Majid Shahriari and Aria Tahami were "Chief Nuclear Scientists of Iran's nuclear program". [6]

Some Iranian media reports said he taught at the Supreme National Defense University , which is run by the Iranian Army , according to The New York Times . [7]

On 29 November 2010, assassins riding motorcycles planted and detonated C-4 (explosive) on his car door whilst he was driving. He was instantly killed. His fellow nuclear scientist Fereydoon Abbasi , a professor at Shahid Beheshti University was severely wounded. Dr. Abbasi's wife was also hurt. [8] The killers had attached bombs to the professors' cars and detonated them from a distance. [7]

Iranian officials have variously blamed Israel and the United States for assassinating Shahriari. Saeed Jalili , Iran's chief nuclear negotiator, was quoted as saying Western nations "exercise terrorism to liquidate Iran's nuclear scientists". [9]

Time magazine ran an article questioning whether this action was perpetrated by Mossad (Israel's external intelligence service). [6] According to The Daily Telegraph (UK), Israel allegedly planned to conduct covert operations against Iran, [10] including assassinations. [11]

A Tehran nuclear site was officially renamed after him after his assassination. [12]
