Speaking to the Persian-language online channel Hozour<\/em> overnight, Iranian Vice President Mohammad Zarif claimed that due to international sanctions, Iran has been forced to rely on intermediaries for procuring equipment, exposing it to sabotage attempts. He revealed that explosive materials were found in centrifuge technology Iran had purchased, but declined to specify when the incident occurred. <\/p>\n

Sanctions Force Iran to Take Risks<\/strong><\/p>\n

The tensions between Iran and Israel over Iran\u2019s nuclear program have taken a new turn with Zarif\u2019s direct accusation of Israeli sabotage targeting centrifuge technology. Zarif stressed that international sanctions pushed Iran to use intermediaries, making it vulnerable to such threats. <\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Iranian President Masoud Pazhakhian told NBC News that Iran has no intention of developing nuclear weapons. However, he warned that Iran is fully prepared to counter any attacks, whether from Israel or the United States. <\/p>\n

Accelerated Bomb-Making Research<\/strong><\/p>\n

Additional reports indicate that Iran\u2019s research centers for bomb-making technology, including the Sanjaryan site east of Tehran, have ramped up their activity in the past year. Iranian opposition sources claim experts have been observed at these sites despite Tehran’s denials of renewed operations. <\/p>\n

Notably, several months ago, Israel\u2019s Mossad carried out a daring operation dubbed the “Beepers Attack,” which detonated thousands of communication devices used by Hezbollah in Lebanon. This operation disrupted the group’s communication networks, injured numerous operatives, and crippled Hezbollah\u2019s operational capabilities. The attack occurred across various locations in Lebanon and Syria, showcasing Israel’s advanced intelligence and technological prowess. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
