Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan Explained

Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan (Persian: مصطفی احمدی روشن; 8 September 1979 in Hamadan – 11 January 2012 in Tehran) was an Iranian nuclear scientist[1] who was assassinated[2] in 2012.[3] He was also deputy of commerce at the Natanz nuclear power plant.[4]

Life

Ahmadi Roshan (also known as "Shahid Ahmadi-Roshan" after the assassination, denoting his status as a martyr)[5] [6] was born on 8 September 1979[7] in the village of Sangestan in Hamedan province, and grew up in a poor family. He was among the students of Aziz Khoshvaght (who was known as an Islamic moralist),[8] studied polymer engineering at the Sharif University of Technology, and had published several ISI articles in English and Persian[9] by the time he was 32 years old.[10]

Family

Ahmadi Roshan was married to Fatemeh Boluri-Kashani,[11] who graduated with a master's degree in chemistry from Sharif University. His father was Rahim Ahmadi Roshan[12] and his mother was Sedigheh Salari.[13] His only child, Ali-Reza, was four years old when Ahmadi Roshan was killed.[14]

Assassination

The last of several assassinated Iranian nuclear scientists (following Masoud Alimohammadi, Majid Shahriari, and Darioush Rezaeinejad),[15] Ahmadi Roshan was killed on 11 January 2012 by a motorbike bomb at 8:30am[16] [17] in the vicinity of Seyyed Khandan[18] in Tehran.[19] [20] [21]

Natanz Enrichment Site

In response to this and previous assassinations, a number of students from universities throughout the country sent letters to Iranian authorities, asking them to change the names of Iranian nuclear facilities and enrichment sites to those of the murdered scientists. Five of these requests were honored, and the Natanz enrichment site's name was changed to "The Site of Shahid Mostafa Ahmadi-Roshan".[22]
