Iran says Israeli ‘sabotage’ on Fordow nuclear plant foiled

Al Jazeera  

Since 2020, Iran has accused Israel of orchestrating two sabotage attacks on its nuclear facilities and of assassinating a nuclear scientist. Tehran, Iran – Iranian state television has aired a report claiming that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps foiled an imminent Israeli plot to “sabotage” the Fordow uranium enrichment plant. ‘Nuclear terrorism’ A year after former US President Donald Trump withdrew from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, as the deal is formally known, Iran began gradually abandoning its nuclear curbs agreed under the deal. It accelerated that process after its main nuclear facilities at Natanz were targeted by two separate sabotage attacks in July 2020 and April 2021 – the second coming just days after the Vienna talks began. Both attacks, in addition to the November 2020 assassination of senior nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh near Tehran, were denounced as “nuclear terrorism” and blamed on Israel, which did not accept or deny responsibility.
