Islamic Revolution Leader Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenei in statement consoled the family of the martyred Iranian nuclear scientist Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan who was assassinated on Wednesday in a terror attack on his car.

“This cowardly act of terror, whose perpetrators and plotters will never dare admit to their dirty and hideous crime or accept responsibility for it, has been carried out by the planning or support of CIA and Mossad services, like all other crimes of the network of international state terrorism,” Ayatollah Khamenei said. 

The assassination attempt shows that “the global arrogance spearheaded by the US and Zionism has reached a deadlock in confrontation with the determined, devout, and progressive nation of Islamic Iran,” the IR Leader added. 

Ayatollah Khamenei said Iran's rapid scientific progress is not dependent on individuals but is a historic movement and arises from an invulnerable national resolve. 

Ayatollah Khamenei said the Iranian nation will continue on its path with determination, adding that the nation will not overlook the crime and never stop efforts to bring the perpetrators and those behind the assassination to justice.
