Iranian Media Implicates U.S., Israel in Assassination

The Iranian Foreign Ministry announced that the bombing which killed a well-known nuclear scientist was in fact an assassination which, "revealed signs of the involvement of the Zionist regime, the U.S. and their allies in Iran." A senior U.S. administration official completely denied the charges, calling them "absurd". As of yet, there has been no response from Israeli officials. An Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman said that such actions would not deter the nation from continuing its work on nuclear technology, but rather speed it up. The Iranian media also implicated a relatively obscure monarchist support group, known as the Royal Association of Iran, for the bombing as well as participation in the recent riots and civil unrest that has plagued the nation.
