Forty-eight hours after Iran began advanced uranium enrichment in the fortified Fordo bunker near Qom, Prof. Mostapha Ahmadi-Roshan, deputy director of the first uranium enrichment facility at Natanz, was killed early Wednesday, Jan. 11 by a sticky bomb planted on his car by two motorcyclists exploding near the Sharif technological university in northern Tehran.
The pair made their escape. Prof. Ahmadi-Roshan was the fourth Iranian nuclear scientist to be mysteriously assassinated in Tehran. The same method of operation was used in a similar operation last year. Iran has blamed them all on Israel.
Tuesday, President Barack Obama received the Saudi foreign minister Saud al-Faisal. Their conversation was shrouded in secrecy. At the same time, US Navy and Air Force chiefs spoke forcefully about the approaching armed conflict over the Strait of Hormuz.
