TEHRAN – Iran will “take revenge” for an attack on a key nuclear site for which it blamed Israel, Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said Monday.

Officials said the Natanz uranium enrichment plant was the target of “nuclear terrorism” on Sunday.

New advanced centrifuges to enrich uranium had just been activated there.

Israel has not commented, but public radio cited intelligence sources as saying it was a Mossad cyber operation.

In recent days, Israel stepped up its warnings about Iran’s nuclear program amid efforts to revive a 2015 nuclear deal abandoned by former United States President Donald Trump.(BBC)
