Natanz nuclear site, Iran. Thousands of centrifuges are destroyed or damaged by cyber sabotage. The centrifuges are used to separate “weapon-grade” uranium 235 (needed to make nuclear weapons) from uranium 238 (abundant in nature). Much of the complex is located up to 50 meters underground. A week later, Iranian government sources announced that they had identified Reza Karimi as the perpetrator of the sabotage. Karimi left Iran just before the event. The centrifuges had been restarted, with a public announcement, only the day before. Iran accuses Israel of the sabotage. Israel neither confirms nor denies its involvement.
