Iran Nuclear Scientist Was Shot With Mounted Remote-Controlled Machine Gun Iranian state media has issued for the first time the stunning details of last Friday's assassination of top nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh.  Importantly, Iranian state media is claiming that a machine gun recovered from the site was made in Israel. "The remains of the weapon used in the Friday assassination of senior nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh show that it was made in Israel, an informed source has told Press TV," according to the state-run English language news site. The killing was done "entirely remotely" with no assassins on the ground and no apparent drone activity, according to Iranian officials. But how?  "The source made the revelation on Monday, saying the weapon collected from the site of the terrorist act bears the logo and specifications of the Israeli military industry," PressTV continued. Tehran officials said they will soon publicize all available evidence showing who was behind the hit, which occurred in a small city east of the capital and included a hail of gunfire and detonation of a vehicle which took out the scientist's convoy and body guards. Officials have further vowed "hard revenge" for the killing which they had in the hours after blamed on Israel. Initially international reports strongly suggested a multiple-man hit team forced Fakhrizadeh's vehicle to stop before opening fire. However, Iranian state media just dropped details suggesting sophisticated remote-controlled machine guns were used.  On Monday Ali Shamkhani, the secretary of the Islamic Republic's Supreme National Security Council, confirmed that it is Iranian investigators' belief that Israel used "electronic devices" to take out Fakhrizadeh, according to the Associated Press.  https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/iran-nuclear-scientist-shot-mounted-remote-controlled-machine-gun
