Iran pointed fingers at Israel after Sunday's attack on a uranium enrichment plant in Natnins, promising it "revenge." This comes at a time when diplomatic efforts are trying to

revive the 2015 nuclear agreement between Iran and the Western Powers. The Iranian President had opened at a virtual ceremony a centrifugal assembly plant in Ntins, while ordering the operation or testing of three new centrifuges. This allows Tehran to enrich uranium more rapidly, in larger quantities, with the size and degree of refining prohibited under the Vienna nuclear agreement.

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Saeed Khatib Zadeh announced during a press conference in Tehran that it was "too early" to identify "the material damage caused by the attack," adding "every centrifuge must be inspected to give the toll."

"With this act, the Zionist entity has certainly tried to avenge the Iranian people for their patience and wisdom, which it has demonstrated (pending) the lifting of the United States sanctions."

Zadeh's fiancé has indirectly accused Israel of undermining talks in Vienna to try to return the United States to the 2015 international agreement on Iran's nuclear programme and to lift Washington's sanctions on Tehran since its withdrawal from the 2018 agreement.

He asserted that "if the attack is aimed at reducing Iran's nuclear capability, I would say in return that all centrifuges (damaged) are IR-1," i.e. first generation.

"Let everyone know that they will certainly be replaced by more advanced machines," he added, stressing that "Iran's response will be revenge against the Zionist entity at the right time and place."

It should be noted that Nawaba reported that Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif "stressed the need not to fall into the trap set by Zionists."
