Iranian vice president and former foreign minister Mohammad Javad Zarif acknowledged that Israeli sabotage was responsible for explosions at Iran’s underground Natanz nuclear enrichment facility in 2020 and 2021. Israel’s Mossad intelligence agency had already signaled its responsibility for the attacks, which involved the sale of explosive-packed centrifuge platforms to the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran through an infiltrated dealer.
