At the nuclear facility in Natanz, after the sabotage that took place the day before, according to Tehran, the enrichment of uranium continues.

In Iran, uranium enrichment continued at the Natanz nuclear facility after an accident occurred there on Sunday, April 11. This was announced by the Vice-President of Iran and the head of the Atomic Energy Organization Ali Akbar Salehi, his words are quoted by the state TV and radio company IRIB.

“Yesterday’s incident in Natanz did not interfere with the enrichment (of uranium), the emergency power supply was turned on,” Salehi said.

He added that in the coming days, the damaged centrifuges will be replaced with more powerful ones. Thanks to this, it will be possible to enrich uranium to the level of 50% in Natanz in the “shortest possible time”.

Recall that in Iran, an accident occurred at a nuclear plant. The facility is the centerpiece of Iran’s uranium enrichment program and is monitored by IAEA inspectors. The incident did not result in any casualties or contamination. Iran later blamed Israel for the explosion at the nuclear facility.

The owner of the ship, Helios Ray, suggested that the explosion was the result of an Iranian attack.

A cargo ship belonging to Israel was damaged in an explosion that occurred on Friday afternoon while the ship was in the Gulf of Oman. This is reported by the Jerusalem Post on February 26.

It is indicated that we are talking about a ship for the transport of cars Helios Ray, sailing under the flag of the Bahamas. The crew was not injured, and the ship was sent to the nearest port.

According to the MarineTraffic website, the ship was heading for Singapore, but, a little before reaching the Arabian Sea, it set a reverse course towards the Strait of Hormuz.

According to one version, the explosion could have been caused by a sea mine. On the other hand, the ship suffered from a missile strike, because there are holes on both sides above the waterline.

Israeli businessman Rami Ongar, who owns Helios Ray, suggested that the explosion was the result of an Iranian attack.

The U.S. Navy’s Fifth Fleet said it was monitoring the situation, but declined to comment further.

Earlier, the US authorities expressed their readiness to return to negotiations with Iran on the nuclear deal. The administration of new President Joe Biden is moving to reverse the decision of its predecessors regarding the US withdrawal from the JCPOA agreement in 2018.
