Iran: Nuclear scientist killed with satellite controlled machine gun

---

A satellite controlled machine gun has been used with the help of artificial intelligence to assassinate Iran's top nuclear scientist last week. The deputy commander of the country's Revolutionary Guards told local media on Sunday. Rear Admiral Ali Fadavi said the machine gun was zoomed in on his face as Mohsen Fakhrizadeh was crossing a highway near the Iranian capital, Tehran, with a security convoy of 11 guards on September 26, and only 13 shots were fired at his face.

The machine gun was placed on a flag pick-up, Mehr News Agency quoted Fadavi as saying. The machine song was focused only on the face of Shaheed Fakhrizadeh. Analysis of the incident shows that he was not shot if his wife was only 25 centimeters (10 inches) away on the road. It was being controlled online with the help of satellites and used an advanced camera and artificial intelligence to ensure that goal.

Iranian authorities have blamed Israel and the exiled opposition group People's Mujahideen of Iran (MEK) for the killings. Earlier, state-run Press TV reported that Israeli-made weapons had been found at the scene.
