A view of the Natanz uranium enrichment facility 250 km south of the Iranian capital Tehran, March 30, 2005. — Reuters picTEHRAN, April 12 — Iran’s atomic energy organisation said yesterday the Natanz nuclear facility was hit by a terrorist act, hours after it said an “accident” had caused a power failure there.
IAEO spokesman Behrouz Kamalvandi had earlier reported an accident at the enrichment facility caused by a “power failure”. No one was injured and there was no radioactive release, the official Fars news agency reported, citing the spokesman. “This incident, coming National Nuclear Technology Day, as Iran endeavours to press the West into lifting sanctions, is strongly suspected to be sabotage or infiltration,” Chariati said.
“The situation that exists today will not necessarily be the situation that will exist tomorrow,” he added, without elaborating.
