An Israeli official said on Saturday that he had “no clue” who killed Iran’s top nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh.
In an interview on N12’s “Meet the Press,” Israeli cabinet minister Tzachi Hanegbi said “I really have no clue who did it,” referring to the killing, according to Reuters.
“It’s not that my lips are sealed because I’m being responsible, I really have no clue,” he said. Hanegbi is a confidant of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Reuters notes.
Fakrizadeh was shot and killed by “armed terrorist elements” while in a vehicle in the town of Absard and died in the hospital after doctors were unable to save him, according to state media.
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani blamed Israel for the killing on Saturday, according to The Associated Press, and said the nation would “respond in proper time.”
