Iran Confirms Mossad Planted Explosives in Nuclear Centrifuge Platforms

Senior Iranian official cites sanctions-induced vulnerabilities as key factor in Israeli sabotage of nuclear infrastructure.

Iranian Vice President Mohammad Javad Zarif revealed that Israel's Mossad embedded explosives in equipment used in Iran's nuclear enrichment program.
The sabotage exploited Iran's reliance on intermediary suppliers due to international sanctions, making the supply chain vulnerable to infiltration.
Israel has previously been linked to multiple attacks on Iran's nuclear facilities, including explosions at Natanz in 2020 and 2021.
The International Atomic Energy Agency has raised concerns over Iran's advanced centrifuge deployment and restricted access to nuclear sites.
The disclosure comes as tensions rise with Donald Trump's imminent return to the U.S. presidency, potentially reviving his 'maximum pressure' campaign against Iran.
