Sri Lanka Condemns Assassination of Iranian Scientist
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Foreign Minister of Sri Lanka Dinesh Gunawardena condemned the recent assassination of prominent Iranian scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh.
In a telephone conversation with Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif on Tuesday, Gunawardena offered the Sri Lankan government’s condolences to the Iranian government and people for the loss of Fakhrizadeh.
The Sri Lankan top diplomat also condemned the assassination attack that led to the martyrdom of the Iranian scientist.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Sri Lanka had already issued a statement in condemnation of the assassination attack.
Fakhrizadeh, a senior nuclear and defense scientist, was assassinated in a small city east of Tehran on November 27.
Last week, Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council Ali Shamkhani said it has become clear to Tehran that Munafeqin (Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization terrorists), the Zionist regime, and its spy service Mossad have been behind the assassination attack.
