An article on Roozonline says that despite initial denials by Iran’s state-run media, the mysterious death of Iranian nuclear physicist Ardeshir Hosseinpour 44, is confirmed by the site Baztab.
In the local media it was only written that his death was due to a gasleak,but international media claimed that the Israeli intelligence agency, Mossad, was involved in his death.
A “knowledgeable official”, according to Fars, said that foreign media made up the Mossad-story in order to wage psychological warfare on Iran and that Ardeshir Hosseinpour was a professor at the university of Shiraz and tragically died on a gas-leak.
Meanwhile, Baztab news website reported, “Ardeshir Hosseinpour was one of Iran’s top centrifuge engineers.”
