Iranian scientist assassination a negative development: Pak Analyst
Islamabad, Nov 5, IRNA -- Pakistani political and defence analyst Prof. Dr Hasan Askari Rizvi on Saturday termed assassination of Iranian scientist as a negative development.
Talking to IRNA he made it clear that nuclear program of Iran cannot be stopped by killing of scientists.
“Assassination of a scientist is a negative development however Iranian nuclear program will continue because it is by now well founded and Iran has enough scientists to pursue the objective”, said the analyst.
Iranian scientist Dr. Majid Shahriari was killed and Dr. Fereydoun Abbasi was injured in two separate terrorist attacks on their cars while they were on their way to Shahid Beheshti University in Tehran on Monday.
Senior Iranian lawmaker, Gholam Ali Haddad-Adel, has said that assassination of the country's scientists will not halt Tehran's nuclear progress.
'Now that their sanctions and resolutions have failed, our enemies assume that by killing our scientists they can impede our nuclear progress,' Haddad-Adel, chairman of the parliamentary cultural commission said.
Hasan Askari Rizvi expressing his views said that Iran has to be more careful about the security of its scientists and others working with the nuclear program.
Iran says the perpetrators behind the assassination could be traced through those who included Abbasi's name as a “nuclear scientist” in Resolution 1747 adopted by the United Nations Security Council.
Israel and Western powers have also been blamed for the terrorist attacks in Iran.
“It is difficult to say who was responsible for the act but doubt will definitely goes towards Israeli intelligence agencies’, Hasan Askari Rizvi added.
Pakistani analyst noted that sanctions have never been a success in stopping a country in pursuing a particular program. “If Iranians are determined such resolutions will be ineffective”, he opined.
Dr. Rizvi was of the view that best way for the West to resolve Iran’s nuclear issue is to hold talks with Iran and find mutually acceptable solution rather than thrusting Iran with sanctions or military action.
Hasan Askari Rizvi was a visiting Professor of Pakistan Studies at Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs (SIPA), and the Allama Iqbal Professor at Heidelberg University, Germany. Until 2001, he was a Professor of Political Science at the Punjab University, Lahore, Pakistan./end
