Fire breaks out at Iran's Natanz nuclear facility but operations unaffected, officials say
A fire broke out at Iran's Natanz nuclear facility on Thursday but operations were unaffected, officials said, as a former official suggested the incident could have been an attempt to sabotage work breaching an international nuclear deal. The Natanz Fuel Enrichment Plant (FEP), Iran's main uranium enrichment site, is one of several Iranian facilities monitored by the United Nations nuclear watchdog. Iran's Atomic Energy Organisation (AEOI) initially reported that "an incident" had occurred at the facility in the central province of Isfahan at 2 a.m. (21:30 GMT).
