White House spokesman says US 'had absolutely nothing to do' with Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan's death. Vietor said the US condemns 'all acts of violence'

The Obama administration is denying any role in the killing of an Iranian university professor working at a key nuclear facility.

 

White House spokesman Tommy Vietor said the United States "had absolutely nothing to do" with Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan's death. Vietor said the US condemns "all acts of violence, including acts of violence like what is being reported today."

Roshan was a chemistry expert and director of the Natanz uranium enrichment facility in central Iran.
