An Iranian spokesman says the cause of a fire at the Natanz nuclear site is known, but won't be made public at this time due to “security reasons.” U.S.-based analysts have said the fire and apparent explosion struck a new centrifuge assembly plant.
This photo released Thursday, July 2, 2020, by the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, shows a building after it was damaged by a fire, at the Natanz uranium enrichment facility some 200 miles south of the capital Tehran, Iran. A fire burned the building above Iran's underground Natanz nuclear enrichment facility, though officials say it did not affect its centrifuge operation or cause any release of radiation.
U.S.-based analysts have told The Associated Press the fire and apparent explosion at the site struck a new centrifuge assembly plant. Iranian officials had sought to downplay the blast, saying it struck an under-construction “shed.”An online video and messages purportedly claiming responsibility for a fire that analysts say damaged a centrifuge assembly plant at Iran’s underground Natanz nuclear site deepened the mystery Friday around the incident.
Debris on the ground and a door that looked blown off its hinges suggested an explosion accompanied the blazeThe fire began around 2 a.m. local time in the northwest corner of the Natanz compound in Iran’s central Isfahan province, according to data collected by a U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration satellite that tracks fires from space.
The MEK and supporters of the shah’s exiled son Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi did not respond to requests for comment. The AP received no response to an email sent to one address associated with the “Cheetahs of the Homeland” statements.
