Majid Jamali Fashi (1978 in Tehran - May 15, 2012 in Tehran) was an Iranian martial artist, the holder of a world bronze medal in kickboxing, and was accused of assassinating Iranian nuclear scientist Massoud Ali-Mohammadi on the orders of Israel. He was executed after the trial.[1][2]

In a televised confession on the Islamic Republic of Iran Television, Majid Jamali Fashi explained in detail how he cooperated with the Mossad and how he had received training in Israel, but there were many contradictions in his confessions.[1]
