Crossfire War - Tehran Watch - Eurasia Theatre: Tehran/Moscow; Iran Leading Nuclear Scientist - Ardeshir Hassanpour - Mysteriously Found Dead

Night Watch: Tehran - Ardeshir Hassanpour was regarded as Iran's leading nuclear scientist in the military field and proclaimed so in 2003. AKI reports he was Director of the Center for Nuclear Electromagnetic Studies, which he founded in 2005 and co-founded the Center for Atomic Research. Hassanpour had been awarded Iran's most prestigious scientific award the Kharazmi prize and was found dead a week ago under what have been described as mysterious circumtances. [AKI]

His death was not announced until today on Iranian state television. I suspect Hassanpour may have had serious misgivings as to the offensive, (f)allout war Tehran was obviously planning. Perhaps he took Tehran's negotiation act too seriously and really believed in it, then realized Tehran was definitely planning to use whatever nuclear-ballistic arsenal they have produced with the enormous help they have received from Russian scientists that went south at the end of the Cold War, along with the massive techological support Tehran has obtained from Beijing-Pyongyang.

As a result he may have begun to send information on Iran's war planning to the Allies, perhaps Moscow. Of all the Allied nations none has the contacts Moscow has. Electromagnetism may be used directly in Iran's centrifuge nuclear warhead production process.
