The weapon used to assassinate Iranian nuclear physicist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh was remotely controlled from a satellite, Brig. Gen. Ramazan Sharif, the spokesman for the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), said on Sunday.
Fakhrizadeh, one of the key figures behind Iran's nuclear program and the head of the Iranian Defence Ministry's Innovation Centre, died as a result of an attack near Tehran on 27 November.
As quoted by IRGC-run news portal Sepah News, Sharif said that the assassination had been carried out with the use of "an advanced electronic equipment controlled from a satellite."
That Fakhrizadeh could have been assassinated with the use of a satellite-controlled weapon was earlier also reported by Iranian Arabic-language state news agency Al-Alam, citing sources.
