British Secret Intelligence Service MI6 has a hand in organizing terrorist acts directed against two Iranian nuclear scientists, said Spokesman for Iranian Foreign Ministry Ramin Mehmanparast, Iranian MEHR news agency reported.

“The main accused in the act of terror are the Western countries, so zealously applying for the role of human rights defenders. They use this (terror) as a kind of tool for exerting political pressure on the independent countries,” the agency quotes Mehmanparast.

According to him, the scientists have repeatedly been threatened and are being threatened with terror.

“We do not believe that the latest threats voiced by the official representative of British intelligence, are not linked to this act of terror,” he said.

As NEWS.am reported previously, on November 29, two Iranian nuclear scientists were attacked. Cars, carrying the professors, went off when they jointly with their family members left home for work. As a result, one of them died and his wife and another passenger were seriously injured.
