Azerbaijan, Baku, Feb. 13 / Trend S.Isayev, T. Jafarov/
Iran has filed a lawsuit on Israel to the International court, over the assassination of country's nuclear scientists, Iran's Prosecutor General Gholam Hossein Mohseni-Ejei said, Fars reported.
Mohseni-Ejei added that Iran hopes to get some results on this issue.
Israel, like the West, accuses Iran of pursuing nuclear weapons, and has urged the international community to consider all means, including military action, to stop Tehran. Iran says its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes only.
Last month, a director of Iran's main uranium enrichment site was killed in a blast from a magnetic bomb placed on his car. The official, Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan, was at least the fifth member of Iran's scientific community killed in apparent targeted attacks in the past two years.
Iran accused Israel of being behind the attacks. Later, Iran's official news agency IRNA said it had "evidence" of alleged U.S. and British involvement in the Roshan killing.
In a signal that Iran could strike back for Roshan's killing, Gen. Masoud Jazayeri, the spokesman for Iran's Joint Armed Forces Staff, was quoted by the semiofficial ISNA news agency last month as saying that Tehran was "reviewing the punishment" of "behind-the-scene elements" involved in the assassination.
