Assassinations are signs of Zionists' desperation
In a separate meeting with the top Iranian diplomat in Beirut, Lebanese Interior Minister Marwan Charbel said the Zionist regime's assassinations of Iranian scientists are indicative of this regime's weakness and desperation.
Iran has pointed a finger of blame at the Zionist regime for the assassinations of the scientists.
