In a press statement, Mahdi Shamsabadi said, "Our colleagues in the Security Directorate have been monitoring the situation closely for about 8 months, so that the assassination of nuclear scientists was on the agenda of some of these people."
Shamsabadi continued, "Through strong intelligence supervision, members of the cell were identified and arrested in each of the different governorates, and there is so much evidence against these individuals that they did not object at all to the arrest warrants issued."
He pointed out that "the case is now in the preliminary investigation stage, and that the indictment will be issued and sent to the court soon."
