Iran's Nuclear Chief Calls Natanz Atomic Site Blackout An Act Of ‘Nuclear Terrorism’

 

BBC: Iran nuclear: 'Terrorist act' at underground Natanz facility 

A nuclear facility in Iran was hit by a "terrorist act" a day after it unveiled new advanced uranium centrifuges, a top nuclear official says. 

He did not say who was to blame but urged the international community to deal with nuclear terrorism. 

Israeli media suggest the incident was a result of an Israeli cyber attack. 

Last year, a fire broke out at the Natanz underground facility, which the authorities alleged was the result of cyber sabotage. 

The latest incident comes as diplomatic efforts to revive a 2015 nuclear deal - abandoned by the US under the Trump administration in 2018 - have resumed. 

On Saturday, Iran's President Hassan Rouhani inaugurated new centrifuges at the Natanz site, which is key to the country's uranium enrichment programme, in a ceremony broadcast live on television.
