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 up to 50 meters underground. A week later, Iranian government sources say they have 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.
