Iran on Monday accused Israel of orchestrating an attack on its main nuclear facility that destroyed a number of centrifuges and caused an electricity blackout, at a time when Washington and Tehran are seeking to resume talks over a deal that constrains the Islamic Republic’s potential to produce a nuclear weapon.
Iran said Sunday that its Natanz nuclear facility had been attacked but didn’t provide details of the damage. On Monday, the head of Iran’s nuclear agency, Ali Akbar Salehi, said that parts of the enrichment facility were operating on emergency electricity. He also said all damaged centrifuges were IR-1s, the first generation of Iranian centrifuges and a workhorse of Tehran’s enrichment program.
