Dubai: Iran blames its regional arch-foe Israel for Sunday’s incident on the Natanz nuclear web site and can take its revenge, state TV quoted Overseas Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif as saying on Monday.
Iranian authorities described the incident a day earlier as an act of “nuclear terrorism” and mentioned Tehran reserves the best to take motion towards the perpetrators.
“The Zionists need to take revenge due to our progress in the best way to carry sanctions … they’ve publicly mentioned that they won’t enable this. However we are going to take our revenge from the Zionists,” Zarif was quoted as saying.
A number of Israeli media shops have quoted unnamed intelligence sources as saying that the nation’s Mossad spy service carried out a profitable sabotage operation on the Natanz web site, probably setting again enrichment work there by months. Israel has not formally commented on the incident.
The Natanz uranium-enrichment web site, a lot of which is underground, is one among a number of Iranian amenities monitored by inspectors of the Worldwide Atomic Vitality Company (IAEA), the U.N. nuclear watchdog.
