White House: No US involvement in attack on Iran nuclear site
Biden’s press secretary says incident at Natanz enrichment facility won’t derail talks on American return to nuclear deal
By AFP
WASHINGTON — The White House said Monday that the United States had nothing to do with what Iran says was a sabotage attack on its Natanz uranium enrichment plant. “The US was not involved in any manner,” Press Secretary Jen Psaki told reporters. “We have nothing to add on speculation about the causes or the impacts.” Iran accused its archenemy Israel of being behind the attack, and vowed it would take “revenge” and ramp up its nuclear activities.
The Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) said a “small explosion” had hit the plant’s electricity distribution center Sunday in what the foreign ministry labeled an Israeli act of “terrorism.” Iran initially reported a power blackout had hit the Natanz site, a day after it announced it had started up advanced uranium enrichment centrifuges banned under the battered 2015 Iran nuclear deal. Israel did not claim responsibility for the incident, but unsourced media reports in the country attributed it to a “cyber operation” by the Israeli security services.
