“Accident in an Iranian nuclear reactor”, day after the start of new centrifuges | Abroad

“The incident did not claim any casualties or cause pollution,” said a spokesman for the Iranian nuclear agency, who said there were electricity problems in the underground plant.

A fire broke out in the factory last year. According to the Iranian government, this was the result of an attempted Israeli sabotage. The Natanz nuclear reactor is at the center of the Iranian regime’s uranium enrichment plans, which critics say wants to use uranium to make nuclear weapons. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is therefore monitoring developments at Natanz.

Obama-deal

Tehran and Washington have been trying to revive the 2015 nuclear weapons treaty since the presidency of Joe Biden after the withdrawal of former President Donald Trump three years ago. Trump then decided to reintroduce sanctions against the Iranian regime. This in turn decided to expand the nuclear program, against the rules of the treaty.

Iran and the United States put their demands on the table this week in indirect talks in Vienna. Although the two countries do not want to give in to the other, there was talk of constructive consultations on both sides.
