The US has dismissed allegations by Iran that American and Israeli agents were responsible for the killing of a physics professor in Tehran.

The US State Department described the accusation as "absurd".

Physicist Massoud Ali Mohammadi died in a bomb blast on Tuesday, Iranian media reported, describing him as a nuclear scientist and a government supporter.

Well it's started now... Both sides are now going to be engaged in a war of words in the MSM to accuse and deny each other's involvement in the death of this scientist...

Because of this statement perhaps? It's in the very article you linked.

An Iranian foreign ministry spokesman said that "signs of the triangle of wickedness by the Zionist regime, America and their hired agents, are visible in the terrorist act".

Yes but if I am a co-accused in an incident and I know that I am not the one who did this, why would I talk for the other people who are named? What do I know of their involvement? This is what I am getting at. Isn't Israel a sovereign nation who can take care of their own business?

Hmmm,the the Tehran government has just taken a broadside from within over its treatment of its own citizens,by members of its own parliament.And all of a sudden a nuclear scientist dies in a bomb blast.

Was this a diversionary tactic? Does this smell of a black flag operation? Or do they have a case against Amsreal?

"Hired agents" suggest a contract killing or a hit. There could be an open list of targets, and a price for each.

Just speculating here, but I wonder how much this guy "went for".
