🚨BREAKING: A fire tore through #Iran’s main #nuclear-fuel production site, extensively damaging a factory appearing to produce centrifuges used to make highly enriched fuel.

“Early evidence suggests it was most likely an act of sabotage.”

The damaged building is adjacent to the underground fuel production facilities where the US & Israel conducted a sophisticated cyberattack “Olympic Games.” That altered the computer code and destroyed ~1,000 centrifuges, setting back Iran’s nuclear program for a year or more.😎

The timing was “suspicious.” A series of unexplained fires have broken out in recent days at other facilities related to #Iran’s nuclear program.💥

The Persian version of BBC reported that several members of its staff got an email from a previously unknown group called “Homeland Cheetah” several hours before the fire broke out, saying there would be an attack at #Iran’s facility at ~2am.

Homeland Cheetah claims to be dissidents in #Iran’s military/security apparatus & said the attack would target above-ground sections of the #nuclear facilities so that the Iranian government could not cover up the damage.🧐

“There was no way to confirm if Homeland Cheetahs was a real group, and if so whether it was domestic, as it claimed, or supported by a foreign power.”

Pretty safe bet that this was an op by the US and/or Israel.😎
