With those arrests, the killers of all four scientists are now in jail, he said.
The latest to be nabbed are the murderers of Daryoush Rezai-nejad, who was shot in the head by assailants on a Tehran street in July 2011.
Moslehi said after that killing that it did not appear to be a political assassination but rather a murder for personal reasons.
But in announcing the arrests of Rezai-nejad’s killers, Moslehi said the killing was executed “with the support of the CIA and Mossad.” He said more than 30 people had been arrested in connection with Rezai-nejad’s killing alone. He did not identify them by nationality.
On June 28, Moslehi said all those involved in killing the three other nuclear scientists had been arrested. He gave no names or numbers.
Moslehi has also not said if all those arrested are Iranian or if any are foreigners. Over the years, the Islamic Republic has blamed the killings on Mossad, the CIA, MI6, the Mojahedin-e Khalq, unnamed “regional” intelligence agencies and others
Moslehi said that in addition to the assassins, “two groups in charge of training terrorists were arrested inside and outside Iran.” He did not explain if those arrested outside Iran were being held by a friendly government or had been nabbed by Iranian agents and spirited into Iran.
