Azerbaijan, Baku, June 14/Trend M. Moezzi

Iran's Ministry of Information says it has arrested people responsible for the assassination of two nuclear scientists and a bodyguard, ISNA reported.

The Ministry promises to provide details about the arrests as soon as "certain security precautions" are taken. The announcement gave no information about how many arrests Iran has made.

Those arrested are allegedly responsible for the assassinations of Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan and his bodyguard Reza Ghashghaei in January 2012, and the 2010 killing of Majid Shahriari. All three men died by bombs attached to their cars.

The Information Ministry's statement blames Israel for the Iranians' deaths and says Iran was able to make the arrests by following clues inside and outside the country.
