Iranian nuclear scientist and his family killed in Israeli attack - media | 24 June 2025 | Top Iranian nuclear scientist Sayyed Mostafa Sadati-Armaki and his entire family have been killed in Israel's latest strikes on Tehran, Tasnim News Agency reported on Monday. According to the state-run Iranian outlet, Sadati-Armaki was a member of the "scientific elite." He was killed along with his wife, three children and in-laws in Israel's latest strikes on the capital of the Islamic Republic. Tasnim stated that their deaths came as the Israeli military was deliberately targeting residential areas and civilians that had "nothing to do with military matters." The killing of Sadati-Armaki follows Israel's brutal campaign of targeting Iranian scientists since it launched attacks on the country earlier this month. The IDF has so far reported killing over a dozen nuclear specialists in Iran.
