TEHRAN – Majlis Foreign Policy and National Security committee chairman Alaeddin Boroujerdi has said that the security officials have reached the conclusion that the Zionists have been involved in the terrorist attacks which occurred in Tehran on Monday.

In the special meeting of the Majlis Foreign Policy and National Security committee with police, intelligence, and security officials, it was concluded that the Zionists have been behind the terrorist attacks and the move has been aimed at countering the growing nuclear progress of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Boroujerdi told reporters on the sidelines of the Majlis session on Tuesday.
After the enemy failed to halt Iran’s nuclear program by putting pressure on Tehran including an imposition of sanctions “they resorted to terrorist actions and targeted the scientists,” he noted.
On Monday, two prominent physicists were targeted by terrorists in two separate bombings. Professor Majid Shahriari was killed and Professor Fereydoun Abbasi Davani was injured in the attacks. The two academics were both on their way to Shahid Beheshti University in northern Tehran when they were attacked. The terrorists who were riding motorcycles attached magnetic bombs to the physicists’ cars.
