The Iranian regime is yet to officially confirm how exactly Mohsen Fakhrizade was eliminated, but the reports about a “suicide bomber” seem false. Updated reports claim that there was an explosion, then a firefight.
Multiple Confirmations from Iranian Media: According to the political correspondent of Iran‘s state-affiliated Tasnim News Agency said: “a few hours ago, MohsenFakhrizadeh, a scientist in the field of nuclear weapons, was assassinated by elements in Tehran!”

Who is Mohsen Fakhrizadeh-Mahabadi
Mohsen Fakhrizadeh-Mahabadi (محسن فخریزاده) (born c. 1961) is an Iranian officer in the Iranian Revolutionary Guard and a Professor of physics at the Imam Hussein University, Tehran. Fakhrizadeh-Mahabadi has been subject to a UN Security Council asset freeze and travel notification requirements because the Council says the IAEA has asked to interview Fakhrizadeh-Mahabadi and Iran has refused to make him available. According to the UN designation, Fakhrizadeh-Mahabadi is a senior Ministry of Defence and Armed Forces Logistics scientist and former head of the Physics Research Center (PHRC). The IAEA has asked to interview him about the activities of the PHRC over the period he was head, but he had refused.
