The killing deployed an “advanced electronic tool” guided by a “satellite device,” according to Second Brigadier General Ramazan Sharif, spokesman for the IIRGC.
IRGC Deputy Commander-In-Chief Sardar Ali Fadavi said it was a high-tech attack and satellite recognition of Fakhrizadeh’s face that targeted him. “We’ve checked and found out that a satellite was controlling a machine gun remotely, and there was no terrorist at the scene,” Fadavi said.
There are still many conflicting reports and unanswered questions about the attack. Most Iranian accounts agree that there was both gunfire and an explosion.
International security and intelligence experts doubt some of Iran’s claims that the Iranian nuclear scientist was targeted in such a sophisticated technology assassination. Either way, we are definitely on the dark side of technology.
The experts believe one or two drones flying underneath the radar could have completed the attack. They are uncertain whether facial recognition technology could have been effectively used since the nuclear scientist was traveling in an automobile at the time of his death.
