| [JPost] Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps engineer Said Thamardar Mutlak was described by social media posts as having been made a shahid. An Iranian senior missile engineer died in southern Iran several days ago, according to a report by an Iranian dissident group published on Saturday night. Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps engineer Said Thamardar Mutlak was described in alleged funeral announcements shared by the National Iranian Congress as having been made a shahid (martyr) and murdered in Shiraz. The report stated that Iranian authorities did not want news of the death to be published, and that Mutlak’s family had been threatened not to share the news. "Cowardly assassination of heroes of our scientific prowess didn’t help behind-the-curtain terrorists to achieve their goals," Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Nasser Kanaani wrote online on Saturday night, although it was unclear if he was responding to specific assassinations or remarking on the ongoing discussions over the JCPOA nuclear deal. "Peaceful nuclear industry of Iran owes its flourishing to [Dariush] Rezaeinejad & his fellows," he continued. "Their blood & scientific accomplishments will be safeguarded." |
