Iran news statement
“On Wednesday morning, a sabotage operation against one of the (Atomic Energy Organization of Iran) buildings was foiled” and the attack “did not cause any damage in financial or human terms,” said a spokesperson for the Interior Ministry on Iranian Television.
“The saboteurs failed to carry out their plan,” it added, without giving further details on the building or the nature of the attack that had been averted.
Israel does not want peace in the region
The sabotage attack also comes two days after Iran said it temporarily shut down its only nuclear power plant at Bushehr.
The incident comes as Tehran and world powers attempt to revive a hobbled 2015 agreement on Iran’s nuclear programme in talks that took place in Vienna. Iran news channels and government news agency have continually driven to push for a peace agreement in the region.
In April Iran’s nuclear plant was attacked by Israeli special forces. Iran accused The Israeli regime of being behind a “nuclear terrorism” that hit its Natanz uranium enrichment plant.
Israel neither confirmed nor denied involvement in the blast, but public radio said it was a sabotage operation by the Mossad spy agency, citing unnamed intelligence sources.
The New York Times, quoting unnamed US and Israeli intelligence officials, said there had been “an Israeli role” in the attack.
