Iran Sends Top Nuclear Scientists Into Hiding As Israel Compiles List Of Future Targets
Last Updated: Iran has hidden its nuclear scientists after a conflict with Israel killed 14 top experts. Israel targeted individuals involved in uranium enrichment. Iran has moved its remaining nuclear scientists into hiding following a 12-day conflict with Israel in June that reportedly claimed lives of at least 14 of Tehran's top atomic experts, according to a report in The Telegraph. More than 15 senior scientists have been relocated from their homes and universities to secure locations in Tehran or along the northern coast, The Telegraph reported, citing a a senior Iranian official. The move comes in response to Israeli airstrikes that targeted individuals allegedly involved in Iran's uranium enrichment efforts, which Israel claims are part of a nuclear weapons programme. Among those killed were prominent figures like Fereidoun Abbasi, former head of Iran's Atomic Energy Organization, and Mohammad Mehdi Tehranchi, head of Islamic Azad University. Universities linked to the scientists were also reportedly struck during the conflict. Israeli intelligence experts have warned that surviving scientists remain in danger. According to the report, Israel has compiled a list of around 100 Iranian scientists considered potential future targets. In response, Iran has replaced academic staff linked to its nuclear programme with individuals who have no known ties to it. The crackdown extends beyond academia. Tehran recently executed nuclear scientist Rouzbeh Vadi on charges of spying for Israel's Mossad spy agency and aiding the attacks. The deadly conflict majorly targeted Iran's senior military leaders, nuclear experts, and critical nuclear facilities, prompting Iran to respond strongly with missile and drone attacks on Israel. The regime has since launched a crackdown on spies, arresting hundreds and expelling over a million Afghan refugees suspected of being Israeli informants. Iran has executed at least eight individuals this year for allegedly spying for Israel. view comments First Published: August 11, 2025, 16:12 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
