When Iran's top nuclear scientist was assassinated there were conflicting reports about what happened, most of them wrong. nyti.ms/3hMhIFR

Some reports cited teams of assassins jumping out with machine guns, exploding trucks, a big gun battle with his bodyguards. The craziest was that the assassin was a killer robot. nyti.ms/3zmgkja

Now an exclusive New York Times report tells what really happened on a lonely country road in eastern Iran that day – how the operation was planned and the events leading up to it. nyti.ms/3zmgkja

There were many factors at play: security failures by Iranian guards; extensive surveillance by the Israeli spy agency, the Mossad; and a lack of caution by the scientist, Mohsen Fakhrizadeh. nyti.ms/3zmgkja

There also was, in fact, a killer robot. Read our exclusive account. nyti.ms/3zmgkja

. گزارش‌ها درباره ترور دانشمند برجسته هسته‌ای ایران متناقض و اکثرا اشتباه بودند. nyti.ms/3Etb1Cl

برخی از گزارش‌ها از حمله گروهی از ترورکنندگان با مسلسل، منفجر کردن وانت‌ها، و تیراندازی شدید بین آن‌ها و محافظان آقای فخری‌زاده حاکی بودند. عجیب‌ترین گزارش این بود که عامل ترور‌ یک ربات قاتل بوده است. nyti.ms/3Etb1Cl

حال گزارش اختصاصی نیویورک تایمز آنچه را که حقیقتا آن روز در جاده‌ای خلوت در شرق ایران رخ داد بازگو می‌کند - اینکه عملیات نامبرده و حوادث منتهی به آن چگونه برنامه‌ریزی شد. nyti.ms/3Etb1Cl

عوامل زیادی در آن دخیل بودند: اشتباهات امنیتی محافظان ایرانی، نظارت گسترده سازمان جاسوسی اسرائیل، موساد، و عدم رعایت احتیاط از جانب دانشمند، محسن فخری‌زاده. nyti.ms/3Etb1Cl

ضمنا ربات قاتلی هم در میان بود. گزارش اختصاصی ما را بخوانید.

The Empire State Building once symbolized an urban way of working and New York’s resilience. In the pandemic’s second year, that legacy, and the future of the world’s most famous skyscraper, is in doubt.

The pandemic emptied out attractions, shops and offices in both the Empire State Building and New York City for months.

Now, as a promised return to normal is once again on hold, the plans being made by the building’s occupants reveal a cultural shift. nyti.ms/2VUbhsQ

In the second quarter of 2019, nearly a million people visited the Empire State Building's observatory.

In the second quarter of 2021, it had 162,000 visitors, underscoring the wider collapse of New York’s once lucrative tourism industry. nyti.ms/2VUbhsQ

"It's always going to haunt me." Before Jan. 6, the Capitol seemed almost impenetrable — a symbol of a secure democracy. For many, it's now tinged with trauma, anger and sadness.

We spoke to people who were there during the riot. Here's what they said. nyti.ms/39dty7q

As the mob breached the Capitol, Alisa La, who was working as a close aide to Speaker Nancy Pelosi, barricaded herself with her colleagues in a room in Pelosi’s Capitol office suite, hiding in the dark as rioters loudly ransacked it. nyti.ms/3ErowT1

Before heading to the Senate chamber to vote against the challenge to Arizona’s election results, Senator Lisa Murkowski, Republican of Alaska, stopped in her "hideaway" office in the basement of the Capitol. nyti.ms/3ErowT1

It can be hard to remember, but at one point, flying was considered part of a vacation, not just the means to get to it. Today’s flying environment, 20 years after Sept. 11, can be boiled down to one overriding motivation: just get through it. nyti.ms/3z3xOAM

Airlines lost tens of billions of dollars in the years following the attacks, leading to cuts in staffing and customer comfort that are still around. Airline seats are narrower than ever, and average legroom has shrunk several inches. nyti.ms/3A6yK8O

Airports’ focus on security intensified. One architect said American airports feel “starved of resources” compared to those in Asia, for instance, where there’s a “generosity of space” to put passengers at ease. nyti.ms/3A6yK8O

Nearly 3,000 lives were lost in the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, but countless others who were shaped by that day have died since.

On the 20th anniversary of 9/11, here are some of their stories. nyti.ms/3leh6tI

When the towers fell, most people streamed uptown. But Charles Cook, a retiree in Harlem, walked nearly 10 miles downtown to ground zero, where he dug through the rubble by hand in search of survivors.

He also helped in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina.nyti.ms/3E2BFly

Marya Columbia responded to the attacks the only way she knew how: by playing music.

A violinist, she performed at St. Paul’s Chapel, an informal respite station for rescue workers located two blocks from where the towers had stood. nyti.ms/3BVsm4J
