Iran state media reports that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps IRGC have foiled an Israeli operation aimed at sabotaging the advanced centrifuges at the nuclear facility in Fordo.

The IRGC intelligence says it arrested the entire group of operatives who were paid by Israel and provided with computers by Israel to use in order to carry out the attack.

This is the second group that Iran says it has arrested in the last 24 hours.
