On the night of June 21, 2025, Israel carried out another operation against the Iranian nuclear program, which, according to the opposition publication Clash Report, resulted in the liquidation of a prominent Iranian nuclear scientist, Dr. Seyed Issar Tabatabaei Komsheh. His wife was killed along with him. The attack on their home in Tehran was part of a series of Israeli strikes aimed at undermining Iran's nuclear ambitions, which has sharply exacerbated already tense relations between the two countries.

According to information published on the Telegram channel Clash Report, the attack took place in a residential area of ​​the Iranian capital, where Dr. Komshe was hiding from Israeli intelligence services. Sources close to the Iranian opposition say the scientist was a key figure in research related to uranium enrichment, and his work was considered critical to Iran's nuclear program. The attack was allegedly carried out using high-precision technology, indicating the involvement of Israel's Mossad intelligence agency. Details of the operation remain classified, but according to The Wall Street Journal, Komshe's assassination was being prepared based on intelligence collected over several months.

Iranian authorities have yet to officially confirm the scientist's death, but state media including the Mehr news agency have called the attack a "terrorist attack" and accused Israel of trying to destabilize the country. According to Reuters, Tehran has stepped up security around key nuclear facilities and the residences of senior scientists, fearing more strikes. At the same time, locals have reported increased security activity in the area where the attack took place and restrictions on movement.
