    During an interview with CNN, Peres was asked whether Israel was involved in the killing of a university professor and department head of a uranium enrichment facility in Tehran to which he answered: “Not to the best of my knowledge.”

    “I know that it is fashionable that whatever wrong happens in Iran, it is the United States and Israel. There is nothing new in this approach,” said Peres.

    I would hardly take Peres’s denial too much to heart!
    I dare say, I think it WAS Israel (or the US at worsed).
