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.

Someone wasn't briefed or did not read the plans of an upcoming event...
Human error is more likely a cause than sabotage, but people tend to leap towards whatever cynicism supports their bias.
Attack on a civilian nuclear site under constant monitoring of IAEA is a war crime, remember this when they retaliate
CIA ops

A new street theory of israeli sabotage with help from romanian intelligence. Iran has recruited many top engineers from the eastern european countries.
They shouldn’t play with stuff they can’t possibly understand. Stick to bar-b-q. Have a pork sandwich, cold beer, and relax in the sand.
Why would you say you know but won't release the reason and then say IF you were attacked that you would respond? Do you know or not know?
Upgraded stuxnet?
Maybe it was the flammable floor beams that Nate Nash and his team replaced? RedSparrow JasonMatthews
Hmmmm!
“Struck” normally means ballistics were involved

Tragic accident? NOT!!!!!!!!!
Chalk it up to good old fashioned Iranian scientist dumbassery.
I’m so sorry this happened to you.
Israel
They are negotiating with America, it is obvious. Last weak it was the Parchin site & this week it was Natanz, three weeks ago they exchanged the prisoners.
