Saeed Jalili, a former top Iranian diplomat close to Ali Khamenei on Thursday attacked the Rouhani administration for “hesitation against the enemy” over the nuclear issue.
Iranian officials and commentators say there must be serious lapses in Iran's intelligence neworks that allowed the killing of a top nuclear scientist, Mohsen Fakhrizadeh.
Iran's president Rouhani accuses the US and Israel for the killing of Fakhrizadeh but says Iran should not "take the bait". Khamenei orders punishment.
