The Iranian nuclear scientist killed in a Hollywood-style hit
In 2020, Iran's top nuclear scientist, Professor Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, was gunned down on a remote stretch of road outside Tehran.
But as the dust settled, one thing stood out as being particularly strange.
Apart from the victim, his wife, and their security detail, there was no one else around.
No assailants, no witnesses, and no collateral damage.
Israel was the prime suspect.
Had they just enacted one of the most technologically advanced assassinations of all time?
