An unknown group calling itself The Cheetahs of the Homeland have claimed responsibility for a fire at the Natanz nuclear facility in Iran, according to the BBC’s Persian Service.
The news outlet says it received an email from the group claiming responsibility. The group says it chose Natanz because it has above-ground facilities, making it harder for Iranian authorities to hide the damage.
The Cheetahs, which claimed to be dissident members of Iran’s security forces, had never been heard of before by Iran experts and their claim cannot be immediately authenticated.
