An Iranian man who named a nuclear scientist as initially reported by Iranian medias was an electronics student, Fars News Agency reported.

State media reported earlier Saturday that Rezaei-Nejad was a university professor and one of the experts at the Iranian Atomic Organization (IAO). Fars news agency, however, reported that Rezaei-Nejad was an electronics student and making his masters at the Khajeh Massir university in Tehran.
