Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council of Iran, Admiral Ali Shamkhani:
- Unfortunately, this assassination operation was very complicated and was carried out using electronic equipment and no one was on the scene.
- Numerous intelligence services cooperated with Israel in this complex operation, plus agents from within the country.
- We have gained important clues and the designer of this project has been identified.
- Martyr Fakhrizadeh had been on the Mossad assassination list since 2008, but they had failed so far.
