Tehran , Iran ( CNN ) -- One of two academics attacked in Iran on Monday was a scientist involved in nuclear or ballistic missile activities , Iranian news agencies and the United Nations reported . In separate but similar attacks , assailants on motorcycles attached bombs to cars carrying two professors at Shahid Beheshti University in Tehran , the semi-official Fars news agency of Iran reported . One of them , Fereydoun Abbasi , was injured along with his wife , Iranian news outlets said . Both were in `` good condition , '' a Tehran security chief said . A United Nations resolution cited Abbasi as a `` nuclear scientist , '' the state-run Press TV said . That suggests that the `` perpetrators behind the assassination could be traced through those who included the professor 's name in the UN resolution , '' Press TV said . The resolution , from March 2007 , identifies Abbasi as one of several people `` involved in nuclear or ballistic missile activities '' in Iran . It does not call him a `` nuclear scientist '' but describes him as a scientist for the Senior Ministry of Defense and Armed Forces Logistics who has links to the Institute of Applied Physics . The European Union froze Abbasi 's assets last month as it imposed additional sanctions on Iran . The United Nations resolution says Abbasi has worked closely with another scientist , Mohsen Fakhrizadeh-Mahabadi , who led the Physics Research Center in Iran . The International Atomic Energy Agency has sought to interview Fakhrizadeh-Mahabadi , but Iran has declined to allow that , the resolution says . A second explosion killed Majid Shahriyari , also a professor at Shahid Beheshti University in the Iranian capital , state-run Press TV reported . His wife and driver were injured . His area of research was not immediately reported . A separate bomb attack in Tehran in January killed `` an Iranian university professor and nuclear scientist '' identified as Massoud Ali Mohammadi , the semi-official Fars news agency said . Both of the professors targeted on Monday were members of the Basij , Iran 's volunteer paramilitary group , the news agency said . Iran blamed the attack on the United States and Israel , a common practice in previous attacks on officials affiliated with Tehran 's government . There have been no arrests , and no one claimed responsibility for the attacks , Tehran security commander Maj. Gen Hossein Sajedinia said , according to the semi-official Mehr news agency . CNN 's Shirzad Bozorgmehr contributed to this report .
