Iran blames US as nuclear expert goes missing

I think the US may be behind this. The US wants to derail Iran's nuclear program and this would be a wonderful opportuinity for US to take this scientist away and make sure that Iran's nuclear program is not successful.

I dont think that Iran's program will be affected by this. If he is in the US then he must have given information about the Iran's nuclear program.

Iran accused the US on Wednesday of involvement in the disappearance of a technology university researcher “rumored” to be involved in Tehran’s nuclear program, Iranian media reported.

ISNA news agency referred to “some rumors that Shahram Amiri, who went missing during a pilgrimage to Saudi Arabia in June, was an employee of Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization who wanted to seek asylum abroad.

Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki did not confirm that when he made the allegation. “We have found documents that prove US interference in (Amiri’s) disappearance,” he said. “ We don’t have any information on this individual”, US State Department spokesman Ian Kelly said.
