Iran says bids to sabotage Fordo plant foiled

An Iranian atomic energy official says that multiple attempts to disrupt operations at the Fordo nuclear enrichment plant have been uncovered and thwarted, Fars news reports.

“The enemy has several times sought to conduct acts of sabotage to disrupt the operation of Fordo, but these actions have all been foiled due to the vigilance of the Iranian security and intelligence forces,” Asqar Zarean, Deputy Head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran says.

“Similar to the past, the enemy is seeking to prevent Iran’s peaceful nuclear activities using new instruments, and we should identify and defuse these moves with wisdom and prudence,” he says, adding that “we aim to raise awareness about the enemy, who is more hostile to us every day.”

Zarean did not disclose the identity of said “enemy,” according to the report.
