Iran’s National Security Council keeping quiet over security concerns
Iran’s National Security Council has determined the cause of a mysterious incident that damaged the Natanz nuclear enrichment facility. The council is keeping quiet on the cause for now, citing “security considerations.”
An unspecified incident inflicted damage on the Natanz facility on Thursday, with photos published by Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization showing a partly-burned shed and a door that appeared to be blown off its hinges.
The governor of nearby Natanz city, Ramazanali Ferdosi, said the incident caused a fire but gave no further details.
National Security Council spokesman Keyvan Khoshravi said on Friday that “the main cause of the accident has been determined,” according to the state-linked Tasnim News Agency.
