Fakhrizadeh’s sons say he was shot 4-5 times, warned against travel before hit
[IsraelTimes] In interview with Iranian state media, children of slain nuclear scientist say their mother was next to him during liquidation, but not hit by gunfire.

The sons of slain Iranian nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh said their father was shot four or five times during his liquidation, in an interview broadcast by Iranian state media on Friday.

Fakhrizadeh, the scientist said by Israel and the US to head Iran’s rogue nuclear weapons program, was killed in a military-style ambush last week on the outskirts of Tehran. The attack reportedly saw a truck bomb explode and button men open fire on Fakhrizadeh’s vehicle.

Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
has accused Israel of carrying out the November 27 hit and threatened Dire Revenge. Israel has not publicly commented on the allegations that it was responsible.

In the interview broadcast by Iran’s IRIB news, Fakhrizadeh’s two sons said the liquidation "was really like a war," according to a translation by Israel’s Kan public broadcaster. The sons were apparently not with Fakhrizadeh during the liquidation, although some early reports said members of his family were traveling with him.

The sons said Fakhrizadeh’s wife, apparently their mother, was sitting next to him when he was shot, but was not hit by bullets herself. An earlier New York Times

...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize...

report said Fakhrizadeh’s wife had received shrapnel wounds during the attack.

"My father was hit four, five times by gunfire," one of Fakhrizadeh’s sons said.

The sons, who were not identified by first name in the Kan report, said Fakhrizaden had been warned by his security team against traveling on the day of the liquidation, but that he had gone out anyway for a meeting.

Their account of a shootout appeared to contradict claims by Iranian officials that Fakhrizadeh was killed by an Israeli-produced weapon controlled remotely by satellite. Critics saw the claims as a way for the regime to evade responsibility for not preventing the liquidation and not capturing the assassins.
