Iranian President Hassan Rouhani vowed to retaliate to the killing of Iran's top nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh at "the proper time". Mohsen was killed in an ambush near Tehran, Iran's capital.

Rouhani also accused Israel for the killing. “Our people are wiser than to fall in the trap of the Zionist regime (Israel)... Iran will surely respond to the martyrdom of our scientist at the proper time”, he said.
