Who Are The Iranian Scientists Who Have Been Killed?

(MENAFN- Kashmir Observer) Tehran- In total, six Iranian scientists have been killed in the Israeli strikes.
State media said nuclear scientist Fereydoon Abbasi-Davani was killed along with his wife and child, as were Abdulhamid Minouchehr, a faculty member and dean of the Faculty of Nuclear Engineering at Shahid Beheshti University, and Ahmadreza Zolfaghari, a professor at the same department.

The building housing the residence of these Iranian scientists was severely damaged in Friday morning's attacks.

Dr Fereydoon was a former head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran and a former member of the Iranian parliament. He held a PhD in nuclear physics and had conducted nuclear research at the defence ministry.

In 2010, Fereydoon survived twin blasts in Tehran that killed fellow nuclear scientist Majid Shahriari. Iran blamed Israel for the incident, although Israel neither confirmed nor denied the assassination.
