Two days after Iranian officials said there was an “incident” in an industrial shed at the Natanz uranium enrichment facility, Iranian authorities have admitted serious damage has occurred.
Ali Akbar Salehi, head of Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization (IAEO), spoke to parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Commission behind closed doors about the incident. According to the commission's spokesman, Abufazl Amouee, Salehi said “multiple scenarios about this incident are being studied.” According to Salehi, Amouee said, “Expert groups from security and intelligence sectors have reviewed all aspects” of the fire at Natanz. Iran’s Supreme National Security Council knows the “reasons for the incident but will not state it due to security reasons,” he added.
