Israel accused of assassinating top Iranian scientists

Jewish state has reportedly launched a covert campaign to thwart Tehran’s nuclear ambitions

In the absence of US backing for a military strike,  the Jewish state has launched a covert campaign to thwart Tehran’s nuclear ambitions, says the paper, including front companies that supply faulty technology and outright sabotage. But the key element of the program are “hits” against important figures in the uranium enhancement and technology procurement chain.
