Dariush Rezaeinejad
Dariush Rezaeinejad (February 18, 1977 – July 23, 2011) was an Iranian electrical engineering PhD student from K. N. Toosi University of Technology, who was killed in front of his home. Iran's Intelligence Minister Heydar Moslehi said he was "not active in nuclear projects and has nothing to do with the nuclear issue." However, the Associated Press news agency, in a report quoting a foreign official and a former UN nuclear inspector, wrote that Rezaeinejad's research was about high-voltage switches, which are considered an important part in the construction of nuclear warheads in atomic weapons. In the articles presented by Rezaeinejad to the 14th, 15th and 16th Iranian Electrical Engineering Conferences, he was introduced as a researcher from Malek-Ashtar University of Technology and the title of his two articles is ''"Design and Construction of an Electronic Resistor as a Load with Small Inductance for a High Voltage Pulse Generator"'' and ''"Design, Manufacture and Tes ...

Assassination Of Iranian Nuclear Scientists
Between 2010 and 2012, four Iranian nuclear scientists (Masoud Alimohammadi, Majid Shahriari, Darioush Rezaeinejad and Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan) were assassinated, while another (Fereydoon Abbasi) was wounded in an attempted murder. In November 2020, another scientist (Mohsen Fakhrizadeh) was assassinated. Two of the killings were carried out with magnetic bombs attached to the targets' cars; Darioush Rezaeinejad was shot dead, and Masoud Alimohammadi was killed in a motorcycle-bomb explosion. The Iranian government accused Israel of complicity in the killings. In 2011 and 2012, Iranian authorities arrested a number of Iranians alleged to have carried out the assassination campaign on behalf of Mossad (the Israeli intelligence service). Western intelligence services and U.S. officials reportedly confirmed the Israeli connection.

Targeted Killing By Israel
Targeted killing ( he, סיכול ממוקד, sikul memukad, focused foiling), or assassination is a tactic that the government of Israel has used during the Israeli–Palestinian conflict, the Iran–Israel proxy conflict, and other conflicts. Description There is no clear definition of "targeted killing" under international law. Academic Nils Melzer writes that "The term 'targeted killing' denotes the use of lethal force attributable to a subject of international law with the intent, premeditation and deliberation to kill individually selected persons not in the physical custody of those targeting them". History The term gained widespread use in 2000 during the Second Intifada, when Israel became the first state to publicly outline a policy of "liquidation" and "preemptive targeted killing" in November 2000.Anthony H. Cordesman, Jennifer Moravitz''The Israeli-Palestinian War: Escalating to Nowhere,''Greenwood Publishing Group 2005 p.133. Before 2001, Israel denied it practic ...

Non-Aligned Movement
The Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) is a forum of 120 countries that are not formally aligned with or against any major power bloc. After the United Nations, it is the largest grouping of states worldwide. The movement originated in the aftermath of the Korean War, as an effort by some countries to counterbalance the rapid bi-polarization of the world during the Cold War, whereby two major powers formed blocs and embarked on a policy to pull the rest of the world into their orbits. One of these was the pro-Soviet, communist bloc whose best known alliance was the Warsaw Pact, and the other the pro-American capitalist group of countries many of which belonged to NATO. In 1961, drawing on the principles agreed at the Bandung Conference of 1955, the Non-Aligned Movement was formally established in Belgrade, Yugoslavia, through an initiative of Yugoslav President Josip Broz Tito, Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser, Ghanaian President Kwa ...
