Iran reports accident at main nuclear facility

Estimated read time 1 min read



Iran has reported an accident at its main nuclear facility at Natanz.
Tehran’s Atomic Agency says it affected the site’s electrical distribution grid.
Power was out across the facility’s above-ground workshops and underground enrichment halls.
On Saturday, President Hassan Rouhani said Tehran had launched new advanced enrichment centrifuges at the site.
This is after several centrifuges were damaged in a fire last year – an incident Tehran called an ‘act of sabotage’.
And Iran is high on the agenda as the U-S Secretary of Defence Lloyd Austin visits Israel.
Tensions in the region have been escalating in recent weeks.
