Mohsen Fakhrizadeh lived in the shadows. He was a nondescript professor of nuclear physics at Imam Hussein University in Tehran. He was dour and humourless, with almost no public appearances, either in academia or the media. However, in the West, his name consistently featured in highly classified documents of the International Atomic Energy Agency. Every confidential file related to Iran’s nuclear activities — such as project AMAD,Iran’s nuclear program, S.P.N.D (the Organisation of Defence Innovation and Research), and the Green Salt Project, which was associated with uranium production and enrichment — bore his signature.
For the CIA, he was an enigmatic figure. Untraceable and unreachable, he was beyond the confines of being recruited as an intelligence asset. And within the boardrooms of Mossad, he was public enemy number one, who was long regarded as the chief architect of the covert Iranian nuclear weapons program. So, for the Israeli regime, signing Fakhrizadeh’s death warrant was an inevitable outcome.
