Shafaq News/ On Wednesday, Iran’s Vice President forStrategic Affairs, Mohammad Javad Zarif, accused Israel of attempting anapparent sabotage operation by planting explosives in centrifuge machines.
According to Iranian media outlets, Zarif said, “Ourcolleagues purchased a centrifuge platform for the Atomic Energy Organization,only to discover explosives embedded within it, and neutralize them.”
The exact timing of the alleged incident remains unclear.
He further explained that sanctions have forced Iran and itsallies to rely on intermediaries, creating vulnerabilities allegedly exploitedby Israel.
“Instead of procuring equipment directly from manufacturers,sanctions compel us to depend on multiple intermediaries,” Zarif stated.
“If the Zionist regime [Israel] infiltrates one of theseintermediaries, they can do anything they want, which is exactly what happened,”he added.
Zarif also linked the coordinated explosions in Hezbollah'scommunication systems in September 2024 to Israel’s persistent infiltration ofsuppliers, noting that the case of the pager devices in Lebanon was ameticulously planned operation spanning many years by Israel.
On September 17, 2024, thousands of pager devices detonatedsimultaneously across multiple locations, killing and injuring thousands,including the Iranian ambassador to Beirut. The next day, “ICOM V82” walkie-talkiedevices exploded in several areas, adding to the casualties.
Lebanese officials compared the devastation to the 2020Beirut Port explosion, describing it as an even greater catastrophe, furtherhighlighting the magnitude of destruction and loss.
In response, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC)banned the use of electronic communication devices, except for mobile phones,aboard commercial flights, conducting inspections to prevent similar incidents.
Notably, Iran previously denounced the April 2021 poweroutage at its Natanz uranium enrichment facility, allegedly caused by anexplosion, as an act of “nuclear terrorism.”
While Tehran has not fully explained the incident, Israelneither claimed responsibility nor denied involvement in similar attacks,including cyberattacks and assassinations targeting Iran's nuclear program.
