Natanz enrichment site

[edit | edit source]

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]
