Turkish journalist Murat Yetkin has penned an analysis on the killing of Iranian Masoud Molavi Vardanjani in Istanbul.

In his piece, Yetkin provides the readers with a detailed background of Vardanjani, while asking whether he was only a "dissident journalist" or a "cyber-spy."

"There’s yet to be an official statement by the Turkish police, but Vardajani’s remarkable personal history, his broadcasts about Iran from Turkey since March 2018 and that the protests erupted in Iran just after he died caused speculations in media whether the Iranian intelligence service VAJA was behind his murder," Yetkin said on Nov. 27.
